A CONDENSED EMPLOYEE LIFE CYCLE
An employee life cycle is the steps the employees go through from the time they enter a company until they leave. Often Human Resources professionals focus their attention on the steps in this process in hopes of making an impact on the company's bottom line. That is a good thing for them to do. Their goal is to reduce the company's cost per employee hired. Employees are one of a company's largest expenses these days. Unlike other major capital costs (buildings, machinery, technology, etc.) human capital is highly volatile. You, as a manager, are in a key position to reduce that volatility using the condensed employee life cycle of HIAR (pronounced hire)--Hire, Inspire, Admire, Retire.
Hire: This first step is probably the most important. It is important to hire the best people you can find. (8) The cost of replacing a bad hire far exceeds the marginal additional cost of hiring the best person in the first place.
Inspire: Once you have recruited the best employees to come to work on your team, the hard part begins. You have to inspire them to perform. to their capabilities. (9) That is where you will get their best effort and their creativity that will help your organization excel.
Admire: Once you have hired the best employees and have challenged and motivated them, you can not relax. (10) The same attention you paid to their work assignments, to their satisfaction levels, to their sense of being part of a great team, needs to continue for as long as they are in your group. As soon as you start to slack off, their satisfaction and motivation decrease. If you don't do something, they will become disenchanted and will leave. They will become part of the "employee turnover" statistic you were trying to avoid.
Retire: This is when you know you have been successful. When employees see your company as the employer of choice, they will join you. (11) As long as you continue to inspire, motivate, and challenge them, they will continue to contribute at the high levels you need in order to beat your competition. They Will be long-term employees; even staying with you and your company until they retire. (12) You will attract and retain the second and even third generation employees.
A This is not a time to be cheap.
B When they recognize you as a good boss and a real leader, they will stay around.

Is there a formula to achieving excellence? Can excellence be measured by determining one's achievements and contributions? In this age, we tend to measure things quantitatively. But how do we grade excellence?
If there should be a formula, I would like to mention the two Ps and two Cs here. The two Ps refer to Perspiration and Perseverance. The two Cs are Curiosity and Courage. All these make up the quintessential qualities in our quest for excellence. Today I would like to focus on the quality of curiosity.
Curiosity, or what Einstein called a child-like sense of wonder, makes us question things that others normally do not even notice. The great French novelist Anatole France, Nobel laureate in Literature, had this to say: "The whole art of teaching is only the art of awakening the natural curiosity of your minds..." The teacher's role is to draw our students' curiosity, to inspire them, to make them see the world with fresh perspectives, and to lead them to ask different and interesting questions.
Curiosity is also a powerful force that drives research. The researcher sustains his or her joy in knowledge and creative expression and follows a child-like curiosity, leading him to untrodden paths of discovery. As Einstein put it, "I am neither especially clever nor especially gifted. I am only very, very curious."
Therefore, at the core of the best universities is an intellectual method that encourages questioning. The skepticism towards existing wisdom leads to new ways of thinking, and breakthroughs in knowledge. Deepening this spirit of enquiry is the most important challenge for our universities.

It's never too early or too late for a parent to become a teacher. In this age of teacher accountability, endless school testing, increased pressure and competition, and the proliferation of "educational" toys, too many people forget that success begins at home.
Freeman A. Hrabowski Ⅲ, president of the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, and co-author of Beating the Odds: Raising Academically Successful African American Males and Overcoming the Odds: Raising Academically Successful African American Young Women, says that in the interviews he and his co-authors conducted, the overwhelming factor in their children's academic achievement was that parents inspired and envisioned their children's success. They thought and talked about what would be required to have a .successful child.
"It just makes such a difference when there's someone in that house working to relate to that child and inspire that child," Hrabowski says. "These parents (of the high achievers discussed) are really inspirational in their commitment to their children."
Professor Barbara T. Bowman, one of the faculty founders of Chicago's Erikson Institute, an independent institution of higher education that prepares child development professionals for leader- ship, says that Black children must learn in two different cultures-the African-American culture in which they live and the mainstream culture on which school and education are based.
Bowman also says the relationship between children and their parents is critical. "It is the early responsive ness of the caregiver to the infant's behavior. that creates a sense of well-being and optimism that affects the child's interest in learning," says Bowman, who served as president of the institute from 1994 to last year. "Children who like and want to please the adult learn better what the adult wants them to learn."
In this day of highly competitive testing and the stress of getting high SAT or ACT scores, it's important also to avoid pressuring or overexposing your child. Your son or daughter is probably already facing stress at school and on the playground. Your role is to help him or her relieve and manage that stress. Help them to understand that life does not end or begin with a test. And while academic success is important, it's also important to keep everything in perspective. Failure is a relative term in the grand scheme of things. If your child did poorly on a test, but answered a particularly tough question correctly, stress the positive. On the other hand, if schoolwork comes too easily to your child, find other ways to challenge him or her so they understand that life won't always be that way.
According to the author, the parents of high achievers are usually ______.
A.successful themselves
B.teachers
C.inspirational
D.working hard
