Leadership contributions

I am not a sociologist of science, but I will venture a bit into that territory to provide a perspective on this discussion of the Colonel s work. There are three types of leadership contributions a scientist can make first discovery, correct interpretation, and building a field. Some scientists are well-known for taking a discovery (maybe not their own) and building a field. Almost every subdiscipline of science that is known by a label or a set of initials has a leader who named and built the field. This type of leadership is important. It creates new paradigms, it focuses federal funding, it trains a set of clones of the leader, for good or ill. The Colonel has not been a leader in this sense. We should also... 

Most costs of BELTS and The Leadership Consortium were first met by the BT Community Partnership. This inciuded an annuai 15k membership fee for the Consortium, but after 2 years this fee was paid out of HR budgets, partiy in recognition of the contribution this made to the deveiopment of BT peopie. 

As Director of the Division of Chemistry at the National Science Foundation, Hancock pioneered many new initiatives, especially those that encouraged interdisciplinary and international collaborations. He had an expansive view of chemistry as a science and urged chemists to pursue imaginative research on the discipline s traditional boundaries that would expand chemistry s frontiers. In materials chemistry, he saw a vital and growing area to which chemists could make important contributions. Under his leadership, the Division s support for research in materials chemistry grew to over 20 million in 1993. 

Safety achievement is a team approach. All parties to the operation must participate and contribute. Without team cohesiveness, commitment and accountability objectives will not be met. Specifically important is the leadership of a team, which in business operations is the senior management. 

Prior to 1940 there was little or no education directed toward polymer chemistry. With the contributions of Carothers and others that transformed the practice of polymers into a science, and with the leadership of Herman Mark and others (informal graduate and postgraduate), polymer education took root but rapid expansion and general acceptance by more traditionally oriented academic institutions was slowed by many barriers. Only since 1974 has there been a concerted effort to include education in the basic concepts of polymer chemistry into the undergraduate curriculum. 

His contribution to the development of chemistry, especially his leadership as the President of Chemical Society of Japan, which was established in 1878, and as the President of Japan Academy (established in 1879) should be noted. 

The above acknowledgements cover the period from the inception of the project until 1960. Thus subsequent important contributions from UCLA such as that of Manjikian, and the leadership of McCutchan after 1966 are not discussed nor the tremendous body of knowledge later contributed by the ever-widening reverse osmosis conmunity, the United States part of which was largely established by the Office of Saline. ater, J.S. Dept, of the Interior. 

Some retirees react to total leisure as a selfish way to live—self-gratification without concern or compassion for others. Not so. You can adopt Plan A as your retirement lifestyle and still make contributions to the lives of others on a personal, one-on-one basis. You can continue to pay your human and social dues. Plan A just means that you refuse to have organizational connections that require responsibilities. Participate in church life, but refuse to assume a leadership role. Be a member of a fraternal organization, but refuse to accept an office. Enjoy country-club life, but back away when it comes to being on a committee. You... 

The collaboration of professional geochemists which has resulted in this field manual has been widespread both in terms of geographical location and experience. Most of the contributors have been acknowledged as co-authors, but there are many others who have contributed to the preparation of this document. This process has been extremely successful and an active network of European geochemists has developed as a direct result, with a biennially rotating leadership. 

There is no denying the personnel component of product quality. Issues such as training, personnel turnover, staff s core capabilities and knowledge, job expectations, personnel motivation, and leadership all contribute to overall quality and product integrity. 

Pacific Chemical Conference in Hawaii. In recognition of his outstanding contributions to and significant leadership in the profession of chemistry, Guy Dutton was awarded the 1986 Montreal Medal of the Montreal CIC Section. 

In my experience, process technology is advanced significantly under such leadership. This leads me to the people who, in the periods indicated, contributed so much to my own career. 

Once the mathematical formalism of theoretical matrix mechanics had been established, all players who contributed to its development, continued their collaboration, under the leadership of Niels Bohr in Copenhagen, to unravel the physical implications of the mathematical theory. This endeavour gained urgent impetus when an independent solution to the mechanics of quantum systems, based on a wave model, was published soon after by Erwin Schrodinger. A real dilemma was created when Schrodinger demonstrated the equivalence of the two approaches when defined as eigenvalue problems, despite the different philosophies which guided the development of the respective theories. The treasured assumption of matrix mechanics that only experimentally measurable observables should feature as variables of the theory clearly disqualified the unobservable wave function, which appears at the heart of wave mechanics.
