Early Marriage Influence and Female Teaching Aspiration

Marriage is defined as a means by which society regulates sexual behaviour provided for the bearing of children and allowed for the economic maintenance of the family unit. Marriage therefore, is a concept with varying definition by people in different profession (Ebenuwa-Okoh, 1995). Early marriage in this study is a marriage that takes place at early stage of a female.

STAGES OF STRESS

 

i.    The Alarm Stage: This is a warning stage, this stage clearly signals the presence of stress agents in the body, and in turn there are physical reactions which tend to be the first to appear. These reactions warns the individual that he has to be on guard as there are stress agents present in the body, and once the individual is aware of these, he or she can take measures to face the problem and solve them. When this is done the effects or aftermath of stress is reduced or not materialized at all. Stress may be from one or multiple sources combined together.

Barriers to Effective Communication

Barriers to effective communication can be seen as those factors which militate against the effective communication in any organization. These barriers can exist in any process of communication such as in the sending of the message, transmitting of the message or in receiving of the message. The success of any communication process is retarded if it is faced with the barriers.

Strategies to Reduce the Constraints to Effective Implementation of UBE

We must realize that basic education goes beyond literacy and numeracy. It embraces all kinds of basic knowledge and useful life. We must therefore, encourage children to develop a scientific outlook and rudimentary understanding of the natural and social environment. We can achieve this by not confining the children to classroom situation alone. In seeking to achieve the objectives of the programme, vigorous efforts must be made to counter the factors that may hinder the attainment of the stated objectives. It is envisaged that more appropriate approaches will have to be developed to improve the implementation of the programme as stated below:

1.  Ensuring proper data collection/accurate statistic;

2.  Prudent management of educational fund;

3.  Effective planning;

4.  Providing adequate infrastructural facilities;

5.  Providing enriched curricula;

6.  Ensuring adequate funding;

7.  Management of the entire process;

8.  Procurement of textbooks and instructional materials;

9.  Taking proper care of teachers; their recruitment, education, training, retraining, motivation and other needs;

Encouraging public enlightenment and social mobilization, for full community involvement.

Education and Counselling

Schools are temples of learning and education is preparation for life. Aim of education is all round development and harmonious adjustment of an individual in various aspects of his life. If this is to be achieved, then education is not limited to imparting knowledge as the duty of a teacher and accumulating knowledge as the duty of a student (Ofordile, 2002 & Macloed, 2003). The unique potentialities of each individual along with environmental opportunities will have to be taken into account in making the individual capable of contributing maximum to the society.

Thus for self-realization of the individual, guidance and counselling service is needed. Counselling is a form of education extended to an individual in a scientific manner (Adegoke, 2004).

Population of the Study

THE COST OF POOR COMMUNICATION

THE COST OF POOR COMMUNICATION

What happens to bosses who don’t learn to communicate well? Their employees do not trust what they say and seek information elsewhere.Only about half of the people surveyed said that they learn what’s going on with the boss by listening to what he or she says. The rest “watch” body language, listen to tone of voice, or go so far as to ask somebody else in the organization.

   What makes an authentic leader? The survey asked two open-ended questions. Bates Communications categorized the respondents’ answers into ten key dimensions of leadership. The number one quality that authentic leaders conveyed was honesty/integrity. Since these were openended responses, we treated them as qualitative data, but each of the dimensions was mentioned by dozens of respondents. Integrity in some form was mentioned by well over half.

     Here is the leadership value system articulated by the survey’s 293 respondents, in roughly descending order:

     Honesty/Integrity. 

People who mentioned integrity referred to both business dealings and personal interactions. The words used to frame this concept were honesty, integrity, ethics, fairness, candor, sincerity, trustworthiness, and truthfulness—qualities that bosses must communicate through what they say and do.

Eight Secrets of Successful CEOs and Leaders Who Speak Well

Secret 3: Keep It Simple

One problem with many speeches is that they try to do too much. Your message must be simple and straightforward to be remembered. Roger Marino, founder of the high-tech giant EMC, grew up in a working-class neighborhood on Boston’s north shore and got his electrical engineering degree from a co-op school, Northeastern University. Yet, Marino was a salesman at heart. EMC sold one of the least sexy products or services you can imagine—storage systems for computer information— but he and his two partners built a company that went on to dominate the industry. Eight Secrets of Successful CEOs and Leaders Who Speak Well • 19 Marino learned early on how important communication is in business— particularly when it comes to keeping things simple. “When I was in college and I would see one of these engineering professors talking, if I didn’t get what they were talking about, it was annoying,” he said. “I couldn’t figure out why other people thought a professor who couldn’t explain things was so brilliant.” Marino considered the brilliant professors to be the ones who could actually communicate the ideas in ways people could understand. “Communication is everything,” he said. “You really have to hammer a message
home.” Taking his lessons learned in college to the business world, Marino considers the simple message his strength. Keeping it simple is how he keeps people interested and absorbed in the subject at hand—no matter what it is. “I can teach golf or tennis precisely because I don’t have natural ability. I just explain the steps,” he said. “A CEO has to do the same thing: take people from A to B to C.”

Secret 4: Be a Straight Shooter

The Ethics of CEO Leadership: The Message of John Wooden (1910-2010)

Newspapers across the country today are honoring the life of legendary UCLA basketball coach John Wooden who died yesterday. The outpouring of praise might seem unusual given his long life (99) years and the many tributes already paid while he was alive to experience them. He also retired 35 years ago as a college coach, rather than a world leader, so what creates his staying power in the hearts of so many who never met him, let alone the men he coached, only some of whom went on to become sports legends?

In addition to all the other possible reasons, I think it is because 60 years ago he created a philosophy that he called his “Pyramid of Success” which speaks to athletes as well as CEOs about how to dominate in one’s field and achieve maximum results. It a formula for leadership that is aligned with current trends called “authentic leadership.” Wooden’s approach was grounded in a player’s developing himself as a person. The 15 building blocks create a framework that unites ethics and emotional intelligence with mental and physical conditioning, skill, and competitive greatness.

Defining Authentic Leadership Style

What makes a leader authentic? Authenticity is something true. In a person, it’s someone who is as he or she appears to be. This requires a degree of openness. You have to be willing to reveal something of yourself. One vice president admires her CEO because “he’s willing to open up to people.” The importance of this is simple, she said. “His being open makes people feel they can trust him.”

Developing Your Unique Voice

A senior-level bank vice president was getting frequent requests to speak, but she often said no, because she was too busy. She hated to write speeches, resented the time investment, and never felt she delivered them
well. She felt she was reciting lines from a marketing brochure. She never really felt that the words were coming from her. One day, she was invited to speak at a worldwide conference—an incredible opportunity—and she knew that a standard speech with the old “marketing” messages wasn’t going to fly

Why You Must Speak Well: The Spotlight Is Always on You

The CEO of a firm with four hundred employees and $430 million in revenue confided to me, “It would be nice to be invisible once in a while.” Unfortunately, you cannot wish the spotlight away. When you’re the CEO, you are in it 24-7. Somebody is always watching. “It’s not just public speaking,” the CEO explained. “It is body language, every minute of every day. If I walk around moping, they don’t think something is wrong with me; they think something is wrong with the company.” He continued, “I have learned not to mope. It doesn’t mean you’re not real with people. You have to be real. But you have to remember it’s not just about you.”

Nationwide Survey: Leaders and Communication

Bates Communications wanted to understand more about the authentic leader, so, in 2004, we conducted a study on how bosses communicate. The online survey of 293 professionals revealed that people were disappointed. Most participants said their bosses didn’t communicate well, even though they indicated that communication is one of the most important skills a boss can have.

The Cost of Poor Communication Two

Honesty/Integrity. People who mentioned integrity referred to both business dealings and personal interactions. The words used to frame this concept were honesty, integrity, ethics, fairness, candor, sincerity, trustworthiness, and truthfulness—qualities that bosses must communicate through what they say and do.
Vision. Good leaders should have a vision for the organization, be able to articulate it, and inspire action. Vision was near the top of the list of leadership dimensions mentioned by respondents. It is not enough to be
able to manage projects or people; authentic leadership entails the ability to visualize the future and effectively communicate that vision to others. Those who aspire to lead should take note. 

You can stay in middle management forever without this skill set. You will rise to the top if you
can see the big picture and help others see it too.

The Cost of Poor Communication

What happens to bosses who don’t learn to communicate well? Their employees do not trust what they say and seek information elsewhere. Only about half of the people surveyed said that they learn what’s going
on with the boss by listening to what he or she says. The rest “watch” body language, listen to tone of voice, or go so far as to ask somebody else in the organization.

How do you generally tell what’s going on with your boss?

52.2% By listening to what he or she says
32.8% By observing his or her face, body language, and tone of voice
15.0% By talking with other people about what they think
