Humanity and Management

Humanity and Management goes hand in hand.
Humanity without management is like
The night without day, never ending darkness.
Humanity without management is like
A pond with no fish,
Full with possibilities but contains no purpose.
Humanity without management is like
An action with no goal,
Just a waste of time.
Humanity without management is like
A goal with no action,
a simple dream that can never be.
Humanity and Management goes hand in hand.

Communication


Honestly I thought that the blog idea was good and bad. One reason why I thought that it was a bad idea is because sometimes people forget to do their work because everybody is extremely busy. Students today have to balance out a lot of work between classes and ect.
One reason why I thought it was a good idea is because it helps individual students provide constructive feedback to others. Professors today do not have time to help each individual with their work and provide enough feedback. With the blogs on line, we as individuals can try to help each other and build a stronger communicating between each other. Another reason why I thought that it was a good idea because it gave students control over a portion of their grade. As long as we did our work then we should get a adequate grade. Professors nowadays demand too much from test and exams, with the blogs we can control more of what we are going to get and students get to help each other.
Personally I had a lot of feed backs from students in the class about what my ideas and thoughts were. Even though a lot of them disagree, they provided strong reasoning for their disagreements. In school the main goal is to learn and become a stronger over all individual and with the help of students and professors, we can all become outstanding individuals when we leave college.
I think that the blog idea should continue over the course of the years because it helps individual communicate with other students about what is going on with the class and it also gives students a control over their grade. As long as they participate and do their work they should be able to get a decent grade.

Lesson on LIFE...

When I first began the class, I thought that the class was a joke because everyone was laughing and having so much fun. Besides I had always thought to myself if I ever become a boss i will boss people around and if they don't like it QUIT. The most important thing I learned about from this class is how the quality of the work that people do is mostly defined from their environment and mostly their boss. If I had a boss that thought the same way I did, I would hate to come to work everyday because he is an ass and I would produce crappy work. Money is no long an incentive for people to work hard anymore because we live in a world where money can come and go but a good job is hard to find.
Thinking back into my younger days where I had a job that paid way less then what I have now, I realized that I enjoyed my old job more because the environment was awesome. Your workers would ask you how your day went and how everything is going and it makes you as an individual feel important and that people care about you. Nowadays I sit in my office doing nothing but listen to music and use the computer all day. There are barely any communication and work sucks. If I had a chance to go back I would but life goes on and people are replaced. I learned that money does not always make people happy, sometimes a simple "how was your day" or a simple "what is going on" makes me happy.

What I am...


If there was anything that I have learned from the class assignment about who we are and which letters we belong to is that I am truly a D. The assignment was on the mark. There are many times that I would rather do the work by myself because I do not trust the people that I am working with. I would have to say that it is not that I do not trust them, it is the fact that I do not like the different ways of our thinking and ideas are. I am more of a stubborn type of person whom would like to have certain things done my way and my way only. I prefer to give orders about certain things and I would want people to complete things the way I tell them. I hate it when people come together and give ideas because i honestly think that it is a waste of time and that it is better to lead the group with one leader. No matter what happens there will always be conflict within a group, it is how we deal with the conflict that is important. I personally believe that a group is most productive when the leader or manager gives out the orders so every thing can go smoothly.
Over I do not wish I was another type because I believe that the groups that we fall under tells use about our personality as well. There are many things that I know that I am not, for example being creative. I also do not want to be creative because it is just not me. I do not think that people can just change types because people's personality comes from those test and changing the groups would mean changing their personalities. I do think that it is important to determine people's types when it come to management because it can help place the right people in the right place. In the future I would want a boss who is more like a D because it shows that he or she is in control. I would also hate to have my boss ask other people for ideas because it means that if he or she can not think of anything then he or she should not be in the position.
