    Mr. Osama

    f employee retention is a headache for business, it’s a migraine for the U.S. Navy. Forty percent of the navy’s new recruits will wash out of the service before their four-year tours are up. That’s not just bad for the military’s effectiveness, it’s expensive: it costs taxpayers about $35,000 to recruit one sailor and send him through nine weeks of boot camp. Of those who make it through their first hitch, only 30% sign on for a second term. When I took command of the destroyer USS Benfold in June 1997, the navy’s retention problem, which I had observed all through my 16 years in the service, became mine to endure or to…

    Becoming An Effective Leader

    Being an effective leader in today’s world is one of the greatest challenges an organization can adhere. The ability to attract and retain these talents in the region has been a downfall in my opinion, where it is rare now days to hear of a well known Arab leader in the region. As most thrive to have a caring, safe, supporting space to progress their careers, we still lack the leadership that will provide the clear visibility and recognition that a whole organization aims to achieve.…

Troops would cross the English Channel by ship and land on the beaches of Normandy, in northern France. D-Day the day the invasion began was June 6, 1944. By the end of the first day of the invasion, the Allies held the entire the 59-mile section of the Normandy coast. In July, the American army and the British army began a rapid sweep across France. In August the Allies liberated Pairs. In September, the first American GIs crossed the German border. SS officials frantically tried to hide evidence of concentration camps in Poland. They cleared out many of the forced labor camps marching prisoners westward and shooting any who fell behind.
