What is OSHA's mission statement and vission statement?
According to OSHA's website, their mission is "to assure safe and healthful working conditions for working men and women by setting and enforcing standards and by providing training, outreach, education and assistance."
OSHA does not have a published vision statement. However, it might be interesting to create one for them! Having worked with OSHA in the past, and understanding vision statements myself, I would suggest OSHA's vision statement could be, "A productive workplace that is free of hazards to human health."
How Successful leader is not necessarily effective?
Many people assume that if someone is successful it is because they have good leadership skills. Some people assume that if a business is successful it is because it has good leaders. Leadership isn't something that is particularly easy to pass on to other people. Sometimes a company is successful because a past leader was very skilled as a leader and the current leader simply has kept things running the same as before.
Great leadership is a rare skill. It is much more rare than most people realize. For most people it doesn't come naturally. It is amazing how many organizations are successful even though they have only marginally competent people leading them. Many times this is because the structure of the organization helps make up for a leaders short comings. Sometimes it is because a particularly talented staff that makes up for the leaders deficiencies.
While great leadership skills can make someone successful, the inverse is not true. Being successful doesn't make you a good leader. If you are looking for leaders to learn from make sure you are looking for people who actually have good leadership skills and not just someone who is successful. You can't assume that someone is a good leader just because they have had success. Many times people try to emulate people who have had success and try to follow their leadership styles. While this might be a good thing people often end up mimicking the bad habits of individuals.
Don't assume that someone's leadership style is effective just because they are successful. Many times they may be successful in spite of their leadership skills not because of their leadership skills. A good organizational structure can often hide someone's poor leadership skills. Many times leaders are simply riding the wave of momentum from an earlier success that their leadership skills may have had very little part in actually creating.
Some people who are perceived as being great leaders have a huge entourage of people around them to insulate the organization from their poor leadership skills. These people act as a buffer to prevent the deficit of leadership skills from having a negative impact on the organization.
By carefully evaluating the leaders around you, you can teach yourself to discern who is successful because of their leadership skills and who is successful in spite of their leadership skills. If you find yourself emulating leaders around you, make sure that they are leaders who have true leadership skills and not those who just appear to have leadership skill simply because they are in a successful position

Why don't investors recognize a Ponzi Scheme?
A good Ponzi Scheme has a few things to draw you in
1st A good return (usually more than "market") and good operators make the promised return high enough to generate "BUZZ" but low enough not to appear unreasonable
2nd Others have invested (joined) and are receiving their returns as promised (A key feature of the Ponzi)
3rd They are normally fronted by good salesmen
4th and most important they have a good cover story to explain the high returns
EG: If i promise 100 % return per annum by making and selling chocolate ice cream in Nunavut during winter I am unlikely to get many investors (suckers in a ponzi scheme)
OR if I offer 100% per annum by buying and selling Natural gas, or oil or gold and present a believable front I may be able to generate the needed "BUZZ"
The Ponzi Scheme operators are very often not found out unless
A: Some one gets suspicious
B: The Scheme finally collapses
In the 1960s,[6] a 20-year-old girl[6] nicknamed "Babydoll" (Emily Browning) is institutionalized by her stepfather at the Lennox House for the Mentally Insane after she is blamed for the death of her younger sister. Blue Jones (Oscar Isaac), one of the asylum's orderlies, is bribed by Babydoll's stepfather into forging the signature of the asylum's psychiatrist, Dr. Vera Gorski (Carla Gugino), to have Babydoll lobotomized, so she can neither inform the authorities of the true circumstances leading to her sister's death, nor reclaim her recently deceased mother's fortune. As Babydoll enters the institution, she takes note of several items that would be integral if she were to attempt an escape.
In the days prior to her lobotomy, Babydoll retreats to a fantasy world in which she is newly arrived in a brothel owned by Blue, whom she envisions as amobster. She befriends four other dancers-Amber (Jamie Chung), Blondie (Vanessa Hudgens), Rocket (Jena Malone), and Rocket's older sister, Sweet Pea (Abbie Cornish). Dr. Gorski is envisioned as the girls' dance instructor, informing Babydoll that her virginity would be sold to a client known as "The High Roller" (Jon Hamm). Gorski encourages Babydoll to perform an erotic dance, during which Babydoll fantasizes that she was in feudal Japan, meeting the Wise Man (Scott Glenn). After expressing her desire to "escape," the Wise Man presents Babydoll with weapons. He tells her that she would need to collect five items for an escape: a map, fire, a knife, a key and a fifth, unrevealed item that would require "great sacrifice". Before parting ways, he instructs her to "defend herself," and she is confronted by three demonic samurai, which she defeats. As her fantasy ends, she finds herself back in the brothel, her dance impressing Blue and other onlookers.
Inspired by her vision of the Wise Man, Babydoll convinces her friends to prepare an escape. She plots to use her dances as a distraction whilst the other girls obtain the necessary tools. During each of her dances, she imagines adventurous events that mirror the secretly ongoing efforts. These episodes include infiltrating a bunker protected by steam-powered World War I German soldiers to gain the map (mirrored by Sweet Pea entering Blue's office and copying a map of the brothel); storming an orc-infested castle to cut two fire-producing crystals from the throat of a baby dragon (mirrored by Amber stealing a lighter from the breast-pocket of a client); and boarding a train and combating mechanized guards to disarm a bomb (mirrored by Sweet Pea stealing a kitchen knife from the belt of the brothel's cook). During the last of these fantasies, Rocket sacrifices herself to save Sweet Pea and is killed when the bomb detonates, which is paralleled in a deadly fight between the cook and the other girls in the brothel.
Blue, suspecting that the girls are plotting something, overhears Blondie relaying Babydoll's plan to Madam Gorski. After discovering the gruesome scene around the cook in the kitchen, he has the grieving Sweet Pea locked in a utility closet and confronts the remainder of the girls backstage, proceeding to "make examples" by shooting Amber and Blondie. He then attempts to rape Babydoll, but she stabs him with the kitchen knife and steals his master key. Babydoll frees Sweet Pea, and the two start a fire so that, as a result of the fire alarm, the institution's checkpoint doors unlock. The two manage to escape into the courtyard, where they find the front gate to be blocked by henchmen. Babydoll deduces that the fifth item needed for the escape is in fact herself, and that her sacrifice is needed to complete Sweet Pea's story. She distracts the guards, allowing Sweet Pea to slip out.
The scene cuts back to the asylum in which the surgeon (Hamm) has just performed Babydoll's lobotomy. Hamm is perturbed by Babydoll's expression and starts to question Dr. Gorski as to why she authorized the procedure. It is also revealed that the happenings in the her dream world also happened in the hospital (stabbing an orderly, starting a fire and helping another girl escape) Gorski realizes that Blue has forged her signature, and summons the police, who apprehend Blue as he assaults a catatonic Babydoll.
Sweet Pea is stopped by police at a bus station, but rescued by the bus driver, who misleads the police and is revealed to be the Wise Man from Babydoll's fantasies.
What are opinions on Trips Incentive company?
Yes, it's a scam. They offer "free" tickets, but you have to pay an "advance fee" for taxes, registration, etc.
Then if you pay that, they'll hit you up for more, with a variety of excuses.
They've also changed their name, they used to be Worldwide Travel, a company that had got a lot of complaints of fraud.
