It is a reoccurring theme in Module 2 that men and women will work together to create a succesful business. This is because men and women both have different characteristics such as compassion and decision making that can make or break a business.

Along with planning comes organization. A good plan needs to be organized and detailed with certain achievable goals.

In leadership, people need to know when to be someone who makes decisions and when to be someone who listens to decisions. A good analogy is you cannot have too many chiefs and not enough Indians.

# data[].attributes.body
A major part of planning is decision making. A good leader needs to be decisive, but with great power comes great responsibility. Good decisions need to be made in the planning process.

Each member of a company must be responsible for their own actions and decisions. This will make a company flow better when everyone understand their role.

International managemnet tends to be a popular theme in this module; however, a company can still have a lot of success domestically. For example, In-and-Out Burger is a restaurant chain that was only able to flourish on the West Coast, but still generated a high revenue.

The problem solving can be a difficult one, especially when working in groups. This is because many people possess different opinions on certain topics. For the problem solving process to be effective, people must work together as a cohesive team and understand one another.

Personally, when I think of globalization, I think of culture. Different cultures in different businesses provide more of an opportunity to spread diversity. Cultures are typically spread through the moving and buying of companies into different countries. A recent example is how a French company recently bought out Cablevision.

This is a prime example of an organization who went global. McDonald's spread their fast food chain restaurant to all of the world and now have restaurants in over 100 different countries.

Whenever a business is making an important decision that can effect the company as a whole, a SWOT analysis can be useful. The SWOT stands for strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. In-and-Out Burger used this analysis when deciding if it was going to be worth their time and money to spread their restaurants to the East Coast. Unfortunately the company did not have success on the East Coast, but the SWOT analysis can still be applied here and in other situations.

As stated in the beginning of the introduction in the module, globalization can be the spread of anything. Similar to Christopher Columbus, globalization plays a role in management when trying to spread the concepts of an organization and spreading the company itself

For a team to be succesful and cohesive, people need to understand their assignments and accomplish them. This can also be related back to the whole "Too many chiefs and not enough Indians concept".

Weber's model was compromised of three major components that would describe the management system. These components are detailed rules, organizational hierarchy, and interpersonal relationships.

After reading the chapter, it made me realize that there is one popular theme that can reoccur while working in a team. This theme is group think. This is when members tend to slack off and rely on others because they do not know how to accomplish the task (or they are just simply lazy). I personally can relate to this while working on projects when others do not want to do their part or make excuses. Another way group think can effect a team is when people are afraid to voice their opinions.

Division of Labor can be very effective when used appropriately. For example, when someone specializes in a certain task or concept, he or she is more likely to become more skilled at that given task. Although there may be some advantages to Division of Labor, there are also some disadvantages. A common disadvantage that tends to reoccur is that people will get bored of performing the same task over and over again. This can eventually lead to a decrease in production rates.

There are different types of authority that exists within a company. Overall, authority gives the right to give orders. This authority should not be over used or taken advantage of, or else your subordinates will grow to dislike you and results in a lack of trust. Typically, in a business, authority will grow as someone continues to get promoted and works their way up to higher positions.

# data[].attributes.body
Structure can relate to almost every theme in managemnet. The structure of a business revolves around authority, labor, delegation, and other common themes seen. Structure will hold up the company and essentially lays out a plan for a person or a business. Without proper structure, most ideas will crumble because they do not possess an organized plan. This reminds me of molecules in a body because it is the arraignment in an object.

# data[].attributes.body
Delegation is critical in leadership and a company because you are essentially dividing up responsibility. This puts more trust in your subordinates, but can also be risky because you are allowing more freedom for workers to perform tasks their own way.

I believe you can succeed at anything in the world if you prepare yourself for it. Peyton Manning does the same thing days leading up to a game in order to make sure that his mind and body are both fully prepared. This makes him feel like he is in full command and can achieve all of his personal and team goals.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Peyton Manning has been the Broncos' starting quarterback for about three weeks, and soon the rest of his teammates will learn what Brandon Stokley has known for years. Manning is no ordinary quarterback and certainly no ordinary teammate.

"He works so hard and prepares so much, so he expects everyone else to do the same thing. I think that's why he's made a lot of receivers look so good. They see him putting in the work and want to do the same," said Stokley, a former Broncos wide receiver who was Manning's teammate with the Indianapolis Colts from 2003-06.

Here's a glimpse of what the Broncos can expect with Manning when the 2012 season is underway:

* Tuesdays won't be off days, at least not for the quarterbacks.

* Position meetings will be intense, with Manning writing down every word said by quarterbacks coach Adam Gase and offensive coordinator Mike McCoy.

* Practices will be fast-paced, from the warm-up period to the cool-down period, and every drill in between.

"If something doesn't look right in practice, he'll fix it. While the defense is working through something, we'll go off to the side and make sure we get it right. Everything needs to be right. It's never like, 'It's OK, we'll get it done on Sunday,' " Stokley said. "Everything down to one-on-ones and seven-on-sevens. You want to win every drill. He's the ultimate competitor, and that's why it carries over to games. Obviously he's very gifted, but the extra work is to make sure there is no gray area come Sunday."

Denver players can assemble at Dove Valley team headquarters beginning April 16 for the official start of the offseason program. They will go through conditioning drills under the supervision of strength coaches, and, for the first time, Manning can throw to receivers on the Broncos' practice fields. (Manning has gathered a handful of teammates for off-site workouts in recent weeks.)

Denver coaches aren't allowed on the field until May 1. By then, expect Manning to have worked out a routine with players such as wideouts Eric Decker and Demaryius Thomas and tight ends Julius Thomas, Joel Dreessen and Jacob Tamme, the other former Colt signed last month.
"Totally in command"
After a year with very little organized football, the offseason program can't start soon enough for Manning.

"Nobody loves playing quarterback more than I do," Manning said recently. "I will argue that against anybody. Nobody loves the job (more) and everything that comes with it, being around the guys, the linemen. I missed being able to do that last year."

Not that Manning has ever needed help running a practice session.

When Manning arrived at the University of Tennessee in 1994, he stunned Volunteers offensive coordinator David Cutcliffe during August camp. At one point Cutcliffe sent over his third-string freshman quarterback to handle snaps during a blitz pickup drill with the linemen, running backs and tight ends.

"He's like any other quarterback. He'd rather be over there throwing," Cutcliffe said. "It's not punishment, but it's just one those things where they usually get their rear ends chewed by a line coach or a running backs coach for snapping it too soon. It's just one of those things, a ritual of breaking a guy in."

Back in his office that night, Cut- cliffe turned on the tape of the drill. Within minutes, Manning - an 18-year-old freshman who had been on the Tennessee campus for all of two weeks - had taken over the practice session. It was Manning, not the Vols' assistant coaches, calling out pro- tections and communicating with a host of imaginary teammates.

"You have this vision of Peyton Manning as a Colt, pointing to the "Mike' linebacker and communicating with these receivers," Cutcliffe said, referring to Manning's exhaustive and demonstrative pre-snap ritual. "So these imaginary receivers that aren't in this drill are being communicated with. He's totally in command of this drill. It was the best blitz pickup drill I've ever seen done, and it was done by a freshman who's been with us a week and a half. That's how you make practice like a game."

Cutcliffe is now the head coach at Duke and remains close to Manning and his family. Cutcliffe coached Manning over the winter as the quarterback began his on-field recovery from the neck surgeries that forced him to miss all of the 2011 season in Indianapolis, and it was Cutcliffe who led the throwing session that Broncos officials watched when they flew to North Carolina when courting Manning last month.

Cutcliffe chatted that day with McCoy and Gase, who are now tasked with building an offense around Manning. Cutcliffe said those men should be prepared to be challenged like they never have before.

"In the meeting room, if you say something, it is written down by him. He takes notes that are unbelievable. If you change something, he's going to flip through his notes and find what you said earlier. You're on your toes," Cutcliffe said. "I've heard him described as a sponge, but it's beyond that, because a sponge can be squeezed and loses its contents. Peyton never loses anything he hears."
Fantastic football IQ
Across the NFL, coaches typically spend Tuesday creating the game plan for their team's next game. In Indianapolis, Manning wouldn't wait until Wednesday morning, when players return to the facility, to get started on the preparation. If Manning was going to be at work on his off day, the other quarterbacks were expected to be there too, said Brock Huard, who spent two seasons with the Colts as Manning's backup.

"It's a maniacal approach to the level of detail that separates him from the rest," Huard said.

Huard, now a sports radio host in Seattle, said it can be humbling to learn alongside Manning in the meeting room, to take repetitions behind him in practice and to watch him from the sideline on game day.

The Broncos have two quarterbacks on their roster behind Manning, newly signed Caleb Hanie, a Colorado State alum who spent four years as a backup with the Chicago Bears, and Adam Weber, who spent 2011 on Denver's practice squad behind Tim Tebow, Kyle Orton and Brady Quinn. The Broncos could add another QB in the April 26-28 draft.

Huard offered this advice to Hanie, Weber and any other future backups for Manning: Don't panic.

"Because, especially with a rookie whose first introduction to the NFL and the position is Peyton Manning, don't freak out because he can master thermodynamics and you're just stuck in algebra," Huard said. "There are very few that are at his level with his football IQ. It will be eye-opening and mind-boggling for whoever is in there, and even for the coaches."

It also will be a challenge for the Broncos' wide receivers, a group that includes third-year players Decker and Thomas - who will be playing with their third starting quarterback - and Matt Willis, as well as free-agent acquisitions Andre Caldwell and Jason Hill.

Manning will be demanding, and he won't allow teammates to get away with poor effort or a lack of preparation. If they want to catch passes on Sunday, the receivers will need to earn Manning's trust from Wednesday to Friday in practice.

"Just get ready to work," Stokley said "If you put the work in and the effort in, you'll be able to put up better numbers than you ever imagined."

It all goes back to practice, Stokley said. He fondly recalled practices in Indianapolis with Marvin Harrison and Reggie Wayne that were played at game speed. Harrison made it to eight Pro Bowls and Wayne went to five while playing with Manning in Indianapolis.

"He's a great teammate, and people confuse what a great teammate is," Cutcliffe said. "A great teammate is very demanding of themselves, but they also hold everyone else accountable, and he will do that. He's a nice man, but you had best be prepared and you had better be a good communicator, because he's going to communicate with receivers, particularly, and tight ends and backs, and certainly with his line.

"The relationships he's built with the guys he's played with is very strong. It's one of respect. But they'll tell you in a hurry that if you're outside the lines on what's expected, he's going to let you know immediately. So it should be the greatest thing that ever happened to a young receiver. If they will listen and they will work, there is another level out there waiting for them."

Certo mentions a few different types of teams in the textbook. These teams consist of Problem-Solving, Self- Managed and Cross-Functional. Problem Solving teams focus on one specific goal, Self-Managed teams works on a specific situation with little influence from others and Cross-Functional teams work on multiple goals from different backgrounds. One team that I think of is my lacrosse team because we must a cohesive unit, while everyone still understands their role and objective.

Performance follows preparation and training. If training and preparation are done correctly, your performance will be at all time high because you know what is expected.

Coaching can consist of a few different kinds of behavior, according to Certo. These behaviors consist of listening closely, giving emotional support and leads by example, in terms of behavior. I have had multiple different coaches throughout my athletic career and I think the best coaches understand what their players are feeling and react appropriately. In my opinion, one of the greatest coaches all time in sports is Duke men's basketball coach, Mike Krzyzewski.

Module 7 focuses a lot on leadership and motivation. For these two things to be effective, a sense of loyalty must be established. Someone who is loyal is a faithful person. When I think of loyalty, I think of Patrick Tillman, army ranger who was KIA in Afghanistan back in 2004. He left the NFL to serve his country after the attacks on the world trade center, making him a loyal person.

Equality effects how well people will perform. If someone feels like they are being treated unfairly, they will not perform to their highest potential. However, if a good leader is able to treat their subordinates fairly and with equality, this will result in a higher motivation and better results. I do think it is important to realize the difference between equity and equality. Sometimes equity is more important than equality (depending on what someone may or may not already have).

20 May 2016: We were notified via Twitter that the original creator of the original graphic wrote a piece cataloging the evolution of the meme. Here's the piece. It even encompasses our version and a few riffs on it, including our followup collaboration with the Center for Story-Based Strategy & Angus, #the4thbox.

In the News

Cynthia Silva Parker was quoted by Sustainable Cities Network in an article: Infusing Equity into the Urban Planning Process.
What is equity? In the simplest terms, it means fairness, which is not necessarily the same thing as equality. It's not about everybody getting the same thing," Parker said. "It's about everybody getting what they need in order to improve the quality of their situation." One difficulty in including equity goals in planning is that the people who need them most can be hard to involve. Traditionally, planners involve stakeholders by inviting them to public meetings and asking them to read and comment on plans. This can be a time-consuming process, and people who work multiple jobs and lack transportation and child-care options are unlikely to show up at the library for a three-hour meeting. And even if they're able to offer their time, they may not be willing.
"Trust is the No. 1 thing, 'Why are you asking, and will it make a difference,' " Parker said. "When we got started, there was a bit of interesting community jargon: 'Planning Fatigue.' People were tired of being asked to come to meetings, asked to share their vision, asked to draw another picture of a beautiful community, and then nothing is going to happen, or it's going to take 15 years and they're going to say, 'We don't even remember that we were part of that.'"

We hope you will consider enrolling in one of our public trainings this year.

Over the past 25 years, we have developed a lens through which we facilitate social change and we bring it to every engagement. IISC invites groups and leaders to shift power dynamics, focus on building networks, and magnify love as a force for social change. Using this collaborative change lens, we see leaders overcome challenges and have astounding impact.

Skill development can impact a business in the way someone improves (or not). Jobs become more difficult when there is more than one skill that needs to be developed. Something that reminds me of skill development is playing sports because you need to have a specific skill for that sport, as well as being in a good physical shape.

One way to motivate people is by providing incentives. Most of these incentives include rewards for performing well. However, there can also be negative outcomes and demotions if the outcome does not meet the standard.
