[b][/b] It is one of those hazy day, unlike the previous days, although, there was nothing particularly extra ordinary in comparison. Except that today was all about day dreaming, which may be due to some worrisome known or unknown situations? But what exactly, this he could not accurately figure out nor imagine the very nature. It is worrisome to stay home doing nothing all because of the strike going on in the school, he suppose to have rounded up in years time. But because of the indefinite strike of a thing going on, he could not really be certain that his finishing up will see the day light soon. And this could simply also come to mean that in another two or more years, he may never round up. It was this state of things that seems to be spinning his head unceasingly on daily bases. Although, he had tried to get his mind off the line of worry, and to convince himself that he was not alone in the game, if it might be called so. In spite of what look like an inquietude feelings, Cassidy , often try to couple himself together in other to flow along with the current reality- nel bene nel male i.e (in good and in bad time)- not without focus, in virtually everything he set for himself to accomplish for the day.

The thought, of expecting to be called back soon, could not erase from his mind, due to the word “indefinite”, even though he tends to disagree them in the use of the concept, in a place where people must care for one another. For him, he view such word, as an act of not being care enough and of the likely implication of what posterity or legacy this would result.
He was quite aware that even though, he was not particularly a brilliant chap, but this does not mean they should not reflect over a single word and its future implications. After a couple of hours of reflection, he recognized that this time around could serve as an opportunity to recover from some of the area at school in which he was not too good.

Often he would shovel from one book to the other as he soliloquizes to ask where he needed to read the more to help himself. But only to discover that he was not really too good in any of the subject, instead, he must read all of the them, if he must improve in the subjects, whenever they are called to resume. This time, he became a little addicted to reading novels like the Hardly Chase books , as he was almost doing away with his school subjects. However, it has now becomes a habit that, among his few clicks of friends , they now seems to boost of how many type of such novel they read in a week, but not without some explication of the subject matter of the novel, although, in fair judgment, this new interest of his could be profitable in his literary subject, no doubt. In fact by this time, the terms were already running out and he discover he had read a bunch of these novels.
The same could be said that Jacobo was already an ardent lover of anything literary and debating society, even though he was never a good public speaker, so to say due partly to his very nature, but he did admire them a great deal, those of them in their eloquent display of their passion during practice and would always want to be like them. He knows, he only needed to cultivate the interest to do so, hence, now that he is very much interested to reading novel instead of his books, this could not be judged as a bad omen. Cassidy in his new awakening, now have to reschedule his timetable with his daily routine work with reading, without much worrying about the indefinite strike. In the literary debating society, he was one of the executive member of which he was always looking forward to making a different before suddenly the strike began which contributed to his much love for anything literature as it were.
During this time, Cassidy never want to see any of his friends to gossip about anything or anybody, as it often the case among students, although, he has a habit of not visiting friends but they could come to visit him in their numbers and that was never a problem for him. Due to his new time schedule between reading his novel and his domestic work, he seems no longer have time for anyone. Among his class mate, there was one of them who seems to be very fond of him and would always want to be with him, if nothing else, just to be him for a few hours to discuss about the long delay of finishing up. Because it simply means, when the strike will be call off, another year may have to be added to get things in order before rounding up their final year. And then they will be thrown into the job market which all them have been anxiously looking forward to prove themselves, except some very few of them who would want to apply to go to university. Cassidy - knew, he belong to those few categories of those who might be nursing such idea, but he would never say it openly due to contingent reasons inexplicable. In one of such visiting, he told Ojemeke point blank that enough of his visiting, except strictly on invitation, he is no longer going to be welcome until the call off of the strike because he is no longer readies to immense himself in what termed frivolous gossip about the strike. In the same vein, Ojemeke should try and get himself occupied with books or something instead of coming to disturbed him. He was saying this in what looks like a reprimand mixed up with joke, of which Ojemeke was unable to dissect the true from reality. And in what looks like, an outside who don’t know the level of their relationship would regard as a connotation of insulting language. But Cassidy did manage to spare a few hours with him before send him away for good to concentrate on his schedule task for the day. After a few days later, Jacobo arrived from school, another of Cassidy friend, to say that he has finished his program. Although, for Cassidy this was never a problem except the disruption of his new timetable of which Jacobi has now come to put to a hurt due to his presence with him. Because Cassidy and Jacobo seems to be two individual, although compatible to a level, but they remain like Aristotle and Plato, the Greek philosopher, for those who may care to know what differentiate them in their outlook.

Great, an error of misconception of topic construction, thanks

When we speak about the word of-“incompatibility” we simply means two ideas or actions etc, that are incompatible and therefore, not acceptable or possible to be together due to some basic difference. But compatibility means any two ideas or actions, that neither is possible to be together due to nor existence of any basic difference. As it were, these incompatibilities exist everywhere, like among people, places, environment and in activities that does not just align with who we are inside. But more often, we intentionally make up our mind to fall in line just to make end meet. And we do this consciously or unconsciously, but without the passion or interest necessary to galvanized and motive us along the way.
The reason for this stern from our freedom of choice that sometime, often land us into a wrong decision taking, of which a lot of factors come into play. These factors are diverse, the most common could be to just conform, which is the problem of incompatibility of which we are inside us. It is true that when our external reality is not in sync with our inner self, the result is resistance with the feeling to escape or to jump the fence, in avoidance of our circumstance instead of facing up to it. This is the reality many of us tends to face with a secret silence, which often, becomes individual problem as it escalates into a societal one. The same is true that we often come to feel powerless to make any change, but deep down is the very sense of a strong desire to get out and leave some part of our reality behind. And all these are in relation to our environment and the type of relationship we tends to keep. Read more on-https://philoedu2017..com.ng/

Congratulation to Nigeria for that, but I think Nigeria must strive to be inward looking instead of always, of what goes on outside. The house must be put in order domestically or otherwise, if you like in every sector of the economy.

The difference between broad and narrow concept is said to be parallel in the very basic function of human mind. Often, the broad mind is always fluid and constantly assimilating new information and it is a mind that expands in its perceptual with creative power. Inversely, the narrow mind is often the frozen and self- limiting in receding into what might be called a repetitive layer of fixated vision with fruitless effort to affect the world around it.
It must be made clear, that concept here tends to refer to a procedure and abstract in nature formed by group of individual. While idea refer to a plan formed by mental effort and not abstract in nature.

The problem of character and attitude is of wide range that needs not only to be addressed at workplace but also in our homes and schools. In a wider perspective, it is our attitude and mindset toward life in general that determine our altitude, height or progress.
With this in mind, I also think, everyone and in particular parents, teachers and the clergies have the greater responsibility to educate and direct the affair of this nature for the collective well being.
BEHAVIOR;- What is behavior?- We have good and bad behavior. This is a range of actions and manners together with environment that has a positive or negative influence on any individual. This is acquired through conditioning that occurs through interaction with the environment and individuals.
Example of such behavior like being-Loyal, Thinking of others , Stealing of other people properties, and Always feel that people are right or wrong.
ATTITUDE; - What is Attitude? - We have good and bad attitude. We are told, it is an expression of favor or disfavor toward person or things and event. It is also an opinion or method we chose to do things, whether anyone is watching us or not. In an Attitude of love and Forgiveness.
Example of such method or disfavor, varies in our daily work just like, we chose to respond to emergency call on the phone, when we chose to believe in what someone else is telling us. The same is true, when we chose to respect or disrespect a particular person or friend for an unknown reason.
CHARACTER;- What is character?-We have good and bad character. It is a mental and moral quality, distinctive to an individual. It is a trait that is inherent in a person, an inborn that varies from every individual.
Example of such could be character being Lazy, Loyal character, Unfriendly and selfish character, Generous or careless character.
HABIT;-What is habit? We have good and bad habit, it is a routine behavior repeated regularly and it occurs unconsciously. It requires little or no thought and we often tend to learn it and we are not born with it. Example of habit is when we smoke excessively, Drive without seatbelt, Hot temper, Stealing, and habit of shearing.
We must observed that-Education, Experience and Environment, are all factors that go a long way to affect our behavior. But we have a responsibility and a choice to make, to do the right thing. Choosing the right Attitude, Character and Behavior in acting or controlling ourselves toward others in our conduct to do the right thing.

The Organizational behavior- in dealing with being different from those around you, in your career and in your work place, is a situation one is never exempted. In this perspective, you may be the only male where the other colleagues are female or .you may be in a situation where you are older than your colleagues. But how do you deal or cope with such challenges of being different?

You must invest in building effective relationship, by knowing that early relationship often attract those who are demographically-i.e. (Scientific study of number of changes-in birth, death, and diseases etc.) Similar to them. It simply means your colleagues may never find out how smart, hardworking or fun, you are, if there is a limited interaction with them. Therefore, develop an attitude that creates opportunities for an interaction, no matter how brief. And seek to know some area of commonality that exists among you.

You must choose your mentor, i.e. an individual that may give you an insight of an existing culture, as to help you feel you belong. This may show how powerful and knowledgeable your mentor may matter to you. In this context, you may be more attracted to someone at the same level and similar to you. The same is true, that you may have to learn from someone more experience, knowledgeable and powerful than you are-or of dissimilarities. It must be emphasized, that experience tends to influence thought to become an attitude. And attitude becomes the blue-print of a new experience that often develop into a pattern of behavior.

You must know your right, as you acknowledge that harassment based on protected characteristic, such as gender, age, race and disabilities, and that any discrimination based on these traits are illegal and unacceptable. Therefore, any time you are faced with this type of harassment or discrimination, you must know that anyone responsible for such attitude is but an act of persecution and liable for sanctions. Therefore, you must get to know also that through the awareness of our personal life style, which is critical, is what comes to transform any negative attitude and behavior into a positive one, and which becomes the key to empower and establish our personal responsibility through our changing behavior.

The same is true, that as any organizations manages diversity effectively, they can as well benefit from it, because they achieve higher creativity, better customer service, higher job satisfaction, and lower litigation expenses.
The same is true that- organizational behavior -can manage demographic diversity more effectively by building a culture of respect, humility and obedience to the constituted authority and making everyone accountable for diversity and creating diversity awareness where and when necessary and not without affirmative action.

Really, but Nigerian must be interested in history -it is all pathetic.

Ethic is broadly defined as an act that deals with question concerning the nature of value in matter of human conducts. Therefore, work ethic is vital in any organization to achieving any set objective or goals. The same is true that every individual in any organisation must strive to have a good work ethic to keep the organization functioning at its peak. Work ethics is a set of moral character that deals with what is right or wrong and good or bad in matter of human conduct of individual uses in his work. Therefore, certain factors must come together to create a strong work ethic, of which the most prominent among this are ;-( DISSE).
1. Discipline; - In any organization, it takes some level of commitment to finish any given task. Any individual with good discipline must stay focused with determination to complete any given task. Must always demonstrate some level dedication and commitment in ensuring high level of performance.
2. Integrity; - Integrity as a concept stretches to virtually every aspect of any individual’s task. Therefore, any individual with integrity strive to a foster genuine relationship with everyone around. There must be some level of trust among individuals in any organisation for honest feedback. It also implies putting up some level of high moral standard and trust without questionable character.
3. Sense of Responsibility;-A strong sense of responsibility affects a certain level the result of any given task. When an individual feels responsible for any job performance, such individual, no doubt, must keep to time with the best effort on performance in any given task without distraction.
4. Sense of Teamwork;- Most individual must have to work together to meet up with set objective Any individual with high sense of teamwork not only facilitate the set objective but also help to deliver high quality of any given task. Teamwork is not just a collection of bunch of in individual with different agenda but with a complimentary skill committed to common purpose and mutually accountable for attaining a result in any given task.
5. Emphasis on Quality; - Any individual with strong work ethic must care about the quality of any given task. Often, there are some individual who only do the bare minimum, enough to keep the job intact. Contrary to this notion, individual must always do their best to produce great work, not merely doing what is just needed for its own sake. But by putting in some level of commitment to quality improvement on the part of individuals. And this must be demonstrated in order to improve the overall organizational[b][/b] quality.

It is clear there are varieties of definition for attitude, which seems to center around the notion that evolves measuring of people, issues and objects etc. This measurement often center on two components which are cognitive and effective - (values and beliefs). Our values and beliefs is a combination of cognitive component. And these components which are cognitive and affective[b][/b] did give us a long range, or persistent measurement for dealing with the environment we find ourselves. (Bootzin, 1983). By values, we mean the ideas about the worth of importance of concept, things and people that emanate from personal beliefs system.(U.S. Army,1983). As it were, value is one of the components of attitude, because it assists to determine how individual will act as to weigh the importance of various alternatives.

And indeed, individual of whatever class have different level of attitude that can be accessed through involvement in the performance of any assigned responsibility at any given time. Therefore, an attitude tends to pave the way for behavioral action which ultimately can influence productivity to enhance a viable development. It is also true that attitude and productivity tends to be studied to have being found to have various factors responsible for some level of relationship. It is argued that attitude tends to be favorable when some level of affection, recognition, friendliness and freedom are allowed to enhance productivity. But where this is ignored, there emanate a low moral with low productivity that may becomes the common theme, although, may not be outwardly put on display but may remain a hindrance.

The same is true that any unfavorable attitude can also result to a poor relationship with lack of recognition, inequality, development and insecurity. It must be emphasized that any individual with lack of satisfaction in an environment, ethical value and standard may inhibit some level of attitude detrimental to productivity and development. It is also true that when productivity and development are adversely affected, any form of advancement with aim and objective come to suffer. It is pertinent to note that favorable or unfavorable ethical values, as the case maybe, must have lay down procedures and standard, to establish the guide and conduct, attitude and behavior in any system. Therefore, the successes of any system or society come to depend to a large extent, in the attitudinal factor towards increasing productivity and development. Of cause, self -discipline is called into question, because it assists in developing certain principle in guiding the individual feelings, conduct and behavior, and indeed, thought habit along the process.

The result that emanate from such process is often self control, self reliance and self determination that ultimately stimulate individuals in the sustenance in the necessary drive in taking a positive decision towards achieving the set objective at any given time. Because any lack of self discipline and self confidence, often have the consequence of negative disposition and distressing thought with lack of enthusiasm with adverse effect of low self esteem, productivity and advancement. Therefore, we need to admit, that self discipline cannot be transferred and instilled overnight.

But it must be a process of a learning culture explicated and epitomized by those who may care in the very promotion of a strong and viable relationship and commitment in the advancement and development of a society they also belong. We gain the knowledge of these things through the context (experiences) and understanding; and it is through the context we are able to weave together the various relationships of our experiences. And the greater the understanding of the subject matter, the more we are able to weave our past experiences(context) into a new knowledge in absorbing , doing, reflecting and interacting with others.

As human being, we seek accountability. Often, people want to know who is responsible for certain actions and who is accountable for the consequences of certain actions. According to Harry Truman, -responsibility in the end must be taken by someone, an identifiable individual who must be held to account for it But .increasingly today, people are more likely to ask – where exactly does the buck stop or it does it not stop.

The definition of Maintenance is a combination of action carried out to restore in any equipment, to its normal working condition. There are two set of maintenance which is –Proactive and Reactive Maintenance. (1.)-On the one hand is –the Predictive Maintenance and Preventive Maintenance which are the proactive maintenance (2.) Then the Corrective Maintenance is a reactive Maintenance.
Therefore, the four Maintenance strategies are;-
(1) Preventive Maintenance – The type of Maintenance carried out regularly before any major break down to restore any equipment back to its normal working condition. It is the type of maintenance that is regularly performed on a piece of equipment or machine to lessen the likelihood of it failing.
Service is an act of repairing, replacing or correcting faulty part of a vehicle or machine. Servicing is all about vehicle and machine and when you are to service your vehicle or a machine you need to check first that, the problem of the vehicle or machine is known. After all has been observed and noted, changes commences which may include change of engine oil, replacement of brake pad, oil filter, fuel filter, brake lining and other parts checked. Therefore, Preventive maintenance improves the overall performance and safety.
Also vehicle servicing is done periodically but never the less, daily checking or inspection is necessary.
(2.) Predictive Maintenance-carried out before it is actually necessary after a careful examination or inspection of any equipment.-(through diagnostic method). This may be expensive, but it is worth checking out.
(3) Corrective Maintenance- the type of maintenance carried out after the break down of any equipment called -rectro-active strategy system of maintenance. is applied to situations where an obvious break, failure, or flaw has occurred. These maintenance concerns can be easily identified from the outset. Breaks failures for instance, may arise as a result of insufficient preventative maintenance just like other components.
(4) Reliability-Centre-Maintenance –the type of maintenance that involved the improvement programme in the cost –effective and technically feasible approach. It also comes to utilize a systematic structured approach based on the consequences of any failure.
THE FOUR (4)-LIKELY CONSEQUENCES OF POOR MAINTENANCE.
(1) –Reduced production Capacity.-This is when the Assets tend to perform under-expected target of which the consequence is down-time.
(2.)- Increase Production cost- This is when the real cost and opportunity cost increases due to asset not performing in its optimal level.
(3)- Low quality Product & services- This is when we have customer dissatisfaction that could result to lost of sales and costumers in the process.
(4)- Safety Hazard- that implies failure leading to injuries and finance and even lost of life in the process.
SOME WAYS TO OVERCOME THESE PROBLEMS
These problems can be partially overcome through Schedule inspections and monitoring programmes to assist in optimizing the planned maintenance intervals.
Through a structure like method called –Checklist- which is consistent with information about the actual condition of the equipment known.
A designed out maintenance method to eliminate high cost due to poor engineering design and maintenance practices or operation of a system outside its design-specification.

The obedience to the Word is the power of family or community strength of love which is the basis of a happy culture and independent people. It is the manifestation of individual dignity with a strong supportive family or community structure less vulnerable and less dependent on outside resources and interference. It is a structure less easily controlled and less tempted by any promise of power and material indulgence, but more connected to another and God. It also endow with a compelling necessity as it prevail with a strong and intimate equal partnership, based on mutual respect and enduring love. The enduring love that goes a long way to sustaining individual member family or community during any challenge similar to that of love of a mother/ father relationship.
The choice of our life style may vary in terms of intimate partnership, which has nothing to do with God, except in our quality of love we share and compassion, kindness, and forgiveness within the family or community structure with others in our interactions. It is this quality in our relationship that inspires individuals to feel the Glory and presence of God, through which love strives. In any created power structure which becomes an institution of authority over individual, love do not strives because it carries the right and responsibility to interpret or misinterpret virtually everything.
But love can only expand within any family/ community structure through the heart and mind to bring joy to all who experience it. Because God is love as the only prime creator which is the only enduring love, individually and in togetherness, except those under the influence of dark-energies or forces, are interested in talking about and thinking about suffering and punishment as they envision sin, instead of love which is God. It must be made clear that oppression bread anger as it create conflict between and among people. But we must be confident, not to be under the yoke of economic, religions and political slavery.
On the contrary, we must strive to relief ourselves of any imposed quilt, shame and any resultant resentment through which we remain a free man/ women. And as free men/women, we can begin to experience ourselves as the kind and loving race of created being, capable with the possibility of be human. The only avenue to rest any form of divisiveness, separation and alienation to replace with the spirit of generosity, acceptance, friendship and service to others and to our planet -mother Earth. It true, that the path way is love through which every one may discover that “you are God, Light and Love”. The awareness and recognition that we are created in the image and likeness of God demonstrate the pathway of Love which is God.
What is expected of everyone is obedience to the word of Love which is -God, of which the definition of obedience carries with it the very idea of -subservience to others. The same is true; because human beings are intelligent, capable of independent thought and action with immerse possibility to face up with any challenges. This condition offer a special challenge, of which without the knowledge of what is past and future, of what may exist outside the earthly existence, we are bound and require to find our highest level of functioning of which we are just capable. In the process, we may discover the connections in our heart, which is innate in our make up with our creator, and as a process, through trials and error experience of which we discover our inner guidance which connect us to God. It is also true that we are bound by our contract with God as our creator, as we live in freedom without interference and allowed to work through the lesson of our life time of which history cannot be ignored. The history of a life time is not without experience of lesson of consequence of our actions that are often time outrageous and extreme through distraction instead of reflection. Although murder may come to be understood as self-defense, and may come to be forgiven, but when the connections to the heart are completely lost, it gets connected with the dark-energy by choice and preference, but not without the possibility of a return to the fold. The possibility of return is always there through introspection, closely related to human self -reflection or examination of conscience of which human being is endowed, unlike the animals.
And in this, the human life becomes valuable as the Great Plan of Soul Ascension, but not an end in itself, because there is no end in sight. In this perspective, we must encourage ourselves, not without individual effort, to alleviate the suffering on the Planet Earth, but must also be cautioned in the process not to interfere with individual contract. According .Freire, in his (Pedagogy of the oppressed) “any attempt to liberate the oppressed without their reflective participation in the act, is to treat them as object which must be saved from a burning building”.
Although, there exist a myriad of difficulties to experience along the pathway, but it remain a project seen throughout the cosmos, as highly respected endeavor. Therefore, we have no reason for any self-inflicted guilt or regret, because at any moment in time, we can always turn to the light, to achieve and partake in what, might be called the Salvific- banquet that await everyone. The same is true, that we stand to gain the necessary relief from delusion, anguish and pain as we rise to a high level of consciousness which is the goal of all soul in the cosmos.
It must be emphasized that to educate and practice freedom is not a responsibility that must be taken literarily, on the contrary, any one committed to critical understanding of freedom must be extra careful not to contribute in the act of dehumanizing. The same is true, that real freedom cannot be given but must be achieved and not without individual effort to earn it. Although authentic freedom may never be achieved, but educating for freedom becomes the only hope for any authentic change and in the empowerment of everyone in the historical process.

Communication is defined as an activity or a process of expressing idea and feelings or of given people information. And we are senders and receivers when we communicate. Therefore, in any given task, a good communication increases involvement and motivation in such task . The same is true that effective communication becomes extremely important in the goal and objective of what is at hand to be done, for instance, of increasing involvement in the safety and health task. The most basic communication theory of talks, of about sender and receiver in the communication process, is as defined above. Although, the characteristics may be quite different. For instance, when communication take place between two individuals, two groups or two nations etc, the scope of such communications process may expand but it still boils down to basically two people talking over through various issues and channels.
CONTENT; - When communicating, we always communicate on the content and relationship level. One of the important concepts in communications is the –Two-Level Theory, which states that in any communication process or activity, messages are sent and received on two levels. The first level is called the -content-level- that described what is sent. In this level the information transferred is data, in the form of spoken words. The second level of communication tends to exist on the higher and abstract plane and come to be called the relationship level.
RELATIONSHIP;-The communication on the relationship level come to describe the communication that establishes the very relationship between the sender and the receiver. Indeed, it describes the –How- of which the message is sent that set up the relationship. In general, it is the Tone of the voice and the Body- language in combination that set the stage for such relationship.
THE NOT WHAT WE SAY BUT HOW WE SAY IT-DICTUM;- In the First Scenario- Joe was busy doing his own things. Meanwhile, Charlie was also busy losing a bolt in one of the stud. Soon he sighted Joe in the vicinity and asked him to bring 12/13 spanner. How did he said it, low tone but with body language unbalance due to his difficulty in getting the stud loosen. Joe never cares the way he said it due to the fact that he was busy at the time and he give it to him . In the Second Scenario- Joe was not busy while Charlie was very busy losing a nut from a rod. This time around, Joe was simply looking without given a helping hand. This time Joe was very far away compared with the first distance but with high tone balanced with body language, he called out to Joe for 12/13 spanner. Joe was not happy of the way he communicated his need, as a result of the distance maybe,but he never take this into consideration.-mode of communication
MODE OF COMMUNICATIONS;- In any efficient work environment, to get any given task carried out, the mode of communication matters a great deal, in particular when it has to do with safety and health. The reason may be because, majority of individual do not often take safety and health seriously, and when they do, their level of commitment is always below average in an environment of anything goes. One of the element to driving such effort and adherent to the rules and regulation could be sported within the mode of communication in general.
Overtime, researchers have it that, from one time or the other each of us, fall into one of the four categories of behavioral functions. The purpose is that we learn to adapt to any strategic communication in other to reach out to any individual effectively. It is true; that often, certain individual tends to get along better with those whose communication styles is similar to their own, while at other time, they also have hard time communicating with those whose style of communication are in direct contrast.
THE FOUR COMMUNICATION MODES ARE;- (1)-CONTROLLER. (2)-ANALYZER, (3)-SUPPORTER, (4)-PROMOTER.
CONTROLLER;-This set of individuals are doers, because they tends to lead others and becomes a driving force within any group. Such individual are characterized by emphasis on action and results. Often they tends to place high standard on themselves and others and constructively, very impatient and never get tired in doing so for what they view as a responsibility. Therefore, when working or communicating with a typical controller, one must be prepared to be tested and fast moving. The same is true that you expect some form of disagreement, and argument, and a raised voice that may challenge your thought. But note that their behavior is never an attack on your person rather on the task at hand.
ANALYZER;-This type of individual is characterized by analysis and details, a sort of systematic inquiry and may appear to be stiff or hard. Such individual tends to function in a tenacious manner, as he find satisfaction in the identification of the problem, as he weigh the options to determine the best possible solution of any given task. Analyzer is always a great value, as a logical thinker who tends to strive on the side of objectivity in any complex problem and situation. There will always be a communication barrier with such individual when you are on the side of generalizing rather than being specific.
ALL BEGINS WITH YOU;-Before pointing fingers and seeking solutions to any perceived communication challenge, self examination must be carried out. The question remains, if you are certain that the source of certain communication challenge or behavior you experienced often, actually emanated from you or the other person, hence, the critical examination of your mode of communication.

(1)-The maintenance processes are made up of procedures that must be strictly adhere to and required to be carry out and completes at any given task. The Key–performance-indicator-known as (KPI)-of the maintenance process becomes the assurance measures of any given task. The (KPI) –key performance indicator answer the question of – (How do I know that the maintenance procedure process is being performed well)?
(2)- We are told, that the process in question are embedded in the day–to-day maintenance execution of any given task through the seven keys procedures of – (1) Reliability.-of being trusted (2) Business Focus-without distraction from work (3)-Work Identification-to know what to do at the right time (4)-Work Planning- to plan your work (5) Work Scheduling- to plan the list of the work to be done and when to do it (6) Work Execution-of carrying out the work (7) Work-Follow-up and Performance. It will be observed that these processes provide a clear indication of whether each of these elements are being satisfied, if not, what action should be taken to correct the lack of maintenance adherence in general terms.
(3)-Reliability process;-This represent a collection of various task required to be supported at any maintenance function and when a step of the process is not adequately performed or skipped, there is bound to be failure. Equipment reliability process measure is a leading indicator, because it monitors any given task, as to whether they are being performed, which lead to result. For instance, any leading process indicator would monitor, if any given task is planned before doing it and doing the right thing through which the result will follow. Because it is the result measure that monitor the product of maintenance work. The same is true that the product of maintenance is Reliability-(Trusted equipment).
(4)-Work Identification; -This tends to identify the right work at the right time. In doing this, we initiate work request as the one method of identifying the work.

This is true, such that whether you are walking through the work area, sitting in the office or attending a meeting, the culture surrounds you and permeates your working life in a group. Therefore, the manner of interaction in a meeting and the way people collaborate in a group speak volume about existing culture in any group.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR EXISTING CULTURE; - To understand the culture that exist in your group, your assessment of your culture may make you happy or may make you sad. But whatever your assessment teaches you, that is what it is. To be able to enhance, to benefit and to make a change of your culture, you simply need to see and understand your culture. But it must be observed, however, that assessing group culture is like telling someone how to tie their shoes. And once you have been doing that every day, it is hard to describe the process to another person due in part of the complexity and routine nature.
HOW TO OBSERVE THE CURRENT CULTURE; -This can be done in several way, mostly through participation in the assessment of the existing culture. This can be done through the followings;-

In the performance management is integrated the situational leadership concept and the achieve –model. In this context, there are three major steps to enhance and implement the performance management that ranges from – (1), performance planning, (2) Coaching to reinforce performance plans, (3). The development of followers, (4.) And conducting the formal performance review.2.p.394.
The management process of effectiveness is here embedded in the common problem of letting individuals know what performance problem exist in any organisation. Although it may be ineffective in helping them to know why those problem do exist. In simple terms, the ability to identify problems even though, it may be weak in the problem analysis or diagnosis .Therefore, to be most effective in evaluating and solving performance management, there is need to determine why problem have to occurred.
It was in the light of this that the Achieve –model was designed by Paul Hersey and Marshall Goldsmith to help to determine why performance problem may have occurred and develop strategies aimed to solving those problems.3..ibid. The primary goals in developing this model was to determine the key factors of influence in performance as to present them for use .The first step in this direction was to isolate the key factors that influence performance management in general.
In the same problem of performance, early, John. W. Atkinson had indicated that performance is a function of motivation and ability. The ideas that certain individual need to have some degree of wiliness to carry out a task and the skill necessary to complete the task.4-(p.390). Later, Layman Porter and Edward Lawler did expand these ideas by including what they term the role –perception or task-understanding. The reason according to them stern from the fact that an individual may have all the wiliness and skill to carry out a certain task but will not be effective without a clear understanding of what to do and how to do it.
According to Jay Lorsch and Paul Lawrence, the problem of performance was viewed from different perspective in that it has little to do with function of attributes possessed by individual, rather come to depend also on the organisation and the environment. The reason again stern from the fact that any individual can be highly motivated and have the skill needed to carry out certain task. But with such task, the individual can only be effective, if he gets the needed organisational support and adequate direction and at the same time, the task fit into the organisational environment.5. p.Ibid.
THE SITUATIONAL APPROACH;-
This is an approach that enable manager to individualize performance as indicated above through which one chooses the technique that fit into a unique situation faced by each of the followers .The situational approach focus, in particular on the observed behaviour of the individual who leads and their followers in various situation.
But this is not bone out of any hypothetical inborn or acquired ability and indeed, potential for leadership.6-(p.120). The emphasise on behaviour and environment simply allows for the possibility for any individual to be trained to adapt to a particular style of leadership behaviour to varying situations. It is also believed that any individual can always increase their effectiveness in leadership roles through education, training and development. In a nutshell, nearly all situational approach requires the leader to behave in a flexible manner. By so doing such leader will be able to diagnose the leadership style appropriate to any particular situation and indeed, be able at any given time, apply the appropriate style. Therefore, when talking in terms of leader behaviour rather than leadership trait, it is an emphasis on situational approach to leadership.-7.-Ibid.
BEHAVIOUR AND ITS UNDERSTANDING.-
The whys of behaviour according to psychologist –Kurt Lenin’s fundamental equation of human behaviour can be found in =B=f(P,S). Where B= for individual behaviour, f=function of or caused by, P=the person and S= the situation. Therefore, the equation tends to suggest that behaviour is a function of something both inside the Person and outside the person in the particular Situation.
Of cause, this “something” inside the person could be motive or needs that are reflected in individual attitudes that expose how individual feels about a particular thing. Often it comes to be represented by individual personality in his tendency to act. In the above equation it is clear that P and S or a person and situation are not independent of one and the other, on the contrary they are interdependent.
Indeed, the same is true that persons are influenced by the situation in which they find themselves, just as the situations are influenced by persons. It is an important idea in the very context of situational leadership in which the appropriate leader behaviour is determine by the particular situation.8. (p.25). In understanding behaviour one need to understand why people behave as they do. The same is true that to carry out certain task through any individual, one need to know why such individual may engage in certain characteristic behaviour. What motivates him and what produces the pattern of behaviour that are characteristic of such individual or group.
This is one of the reason that motivation and its causes becomes the areas in which most of the literature in the behavioural science tends to emphasized the more in their studies. It must be emphasized though, that there are different classifications that are useful in communicating the pattern of behaviour that may described individual and groups interactions with others. Hence, often an individual can be said to be energetic or distracted and may be task-oriented or people oriented person and a team leader. 9. (p.17). It is important to bear in mind that behaviour is basically goal –oriented, that means motivated by a desire to attain some level of specific result, although such goal may not be consciously known, hence, we often say “why did I do such”.
The reason being that often our action is not always apparent to the conscious mind. The same is true that the drive that motivate the distinctive individual behavioural pattern- called personality are to a considerable degree what might be called- subconscious and therefore, not easily inaccessible for any examination and indeed, evaluation. 10. Opcit
It was Sigmund Freud, the Psychoanalyst Author, the first to recognize the importance of subconscious motivation. According to him, not everyone is aware of everything they want; hence, often much of their behaviour is affected by subconscious motives or needs. In this perspective, he was convinced that analogy could be drawn between the motivation of most people and the structure of an iceberg.
In his view, a significant segment of human motivation appears below the surface of the conscious mind. Therefore, one usually becomes aware of small portion of one’s motivation due to the above factor. The same is true, that the basic unite of human behavior is an activity, hence, all human behaviour is a series of activities. Therefore, it will not be wrong to say that human being have been condemn to be doing something, for to sleep, to talk and work at any given time. Therefore to predict behavior, one must know what motivation or need evoke certain action any given time. 11. P.26.

WHAT IS CULTURE;- Culture is the work environment any employee is supplied, the moment he is in workplace . Therefore employees are motivated and most satisfied, when their needs and value are consistent with the workplace culture. It is often one of the reasons, why before any employees are hired, his values and needs must be attempted to determine to fit into the existing workplace culture.

Although, culture is difficult to define, generally, one must know when an employee appears to fit into the existing workplace culture. The same is true that culture is the environment in which employee work all the time. Culture is a powerful element, because it tends to shape the work environment, work relationship, and the very work process in their unique manifestation. As particular cultures exist in a particular organization that has been developed overtime in their uniqueness, each new employee adds their diversity to enhance the existing workplace culture.

WHAT MAKE UP OUR CULTURE;- Culture we are told is like a personality, because in a person, the personality is made up of values, beliefs and experience, habits, upbringing that create a person’s behavior. In fact, these underlying assumptions and attitudes and behaviors often come to be shared in group. Therefore, culture is the behavior that results when a group of individual arrives at a set of unwritten and unspoken rules to working together. The same is true, that, it is the collective experiences, each of us bring to the workplace that eventually shapes our behavior.

ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE; - This is made up of all of the life experiences each employee bring to the workplace. And such culture is often come to be influenced through the managerial staff, due to their role in decision making and strategic direction. Therefore, culture is represented in groups through; Languages, Decision making, Stories and Daily work practices- and in practical terms is the way we conduct ourselves in the work environment .

CULTURE=BEHAVIOR; - This simply means, culture is word use to describe behavior that represent the general operating norms in an environment like the workplace in particular. And this is the way we behave, for instance, in any type of workplace, of which is our culture (subculture). And culture is not often define as good or bad culture, hence, aspect of any workplace culture can support progress and success just as other aspect can hinder or impede any progress in any workplace culture .
Therefore, workplace culture is unique for every organization, often it is one of the hardest things to change. It is the very values and behavior that contribute to the unique social and psychological environment of any workplace or society at large.
