Throughout the weeks of this class I have changed my thought process completely. During the first weeks of the course I was pleased with the creativity with the Padlet software and the professor. As the class kept on going with the different principles of management most of it stuck. I think what made this class so adamantly embedded in my head was the fact I got to incorporate it to my work. It is amazing how not knowing the little stuff can make your job a lot harder then it needs to be. I think it is because of my success in this course it has transmitted onto the foundation of management. It is amazing what different management styles and techniques their are. Once I begun reading on the types of employees and management I quickly begun to understand what type of individual I worked with truly was.
One of my most memorable discussions I have done and keep asking to people around me has to be: You are a manager, who do you please first; the employees or owner.
I have never got into such a battle over the topic, I will always say owner. What I find interesting is that whenever I ask this, those with over a master level education always say owner, and those without are 50/50
Overall this class has been freaking awesome. I loved it! If the professors were as informative and creative more student would be successful. I will continue to influence those around me with the fundamentals transmitted from this class.

Controlling performance and operations in business is the most important thing to do as a manager, and CEO. In the image above is Travis Kalanick, former CEO of UBER. Although he was the co-founder of UBER he could not keep up with the company. With UBER reaching all time lows in negativity, it was a now or never move for UBER to get a new CEO and save the company. Controlling performance and operations can be done at a local level as a manager in a small shop. The effect of mastering these essentials can lead to great benefits, compared to the opposite effect of not knowing how to lead. Controlling performance is the understanding of the goal output of your business, the better you are the more you output and exceed goals. These outputs are driven by how the operations are carried out. The better operations the better shot you have at reaching a new clientele. You cannot have Yin without Yang, and I believe you cannot have great performance without great operations.

Leadership and motivation is vital in any function. I decided to use this image of a solider, with a motivational quote that says "Leadership is action, not position". This is a quote that can be transmitted into a business field. When I worked at my job it got to the point we had no managers. This ultimately made me take more initiative since I was one of the older employees and my co-workers had no idea what to do since they were new. In any job you have to be a leader to achieve the best results. Additionally motivation is a key role as well, if you come into any job with the mindset of not wanting to work you are not working hard. Everyday when I do something I motivate myself. If I am studying for five hours a day I am thinking about the doctor down the street who studied hard. If I am working out I think of Arnold Schwarzenegger. When I work, I think about this class and implement the things I learned now and I know one day I will own my own establishments. The problem with people is that they are worried about things working out now, however you cannot connect the dots looking forward, but only when you are looking back.

Managing Human Resources and Communications (MOD 6)

In this picture it represents three employees, two of which are discussing communication. They are talking about how neither of them ever communicate but one employee says they sent an e-mail. This demonstrates to us that one of them do not keep up to date on their virtual communications. This is very important now a days because everyone communicates through e-mail, even this class! We can determine that without correct communication in any platform of business it can relate to delayed responses and failure to achieve goals on time. Where I work we have a group text, I do not really agree with it completely because it is annoying, and more of a slang type of communication. I understand that text is easier to get a hold of employees but I believe to achieve an effective platform of business communication you need to send out formal e-mails/letters to employees that understand their responsibility of checking their e-mail.

Organization Structure and Process (MOD 5)

This is the Starbucks organizational chart. I wanted to use Starbucks because it is a large corporation, and because I love coffee. I typically go to Starbucks 4-6 times a week to finish my course assignments because I do not have internet at home. I find this table useful because it gives insight on the organizational process of a large scale corporation, In this picture it gives us a chain in command of the large leadership positions and roles. These roles divide the company up and are detrimental to a large companies success, Without having these different categories and positions, the company could not function correctly because it is so large.

From this course it has given me a different mindset in management. When I first begun this course I was just a coffee shop employee. As soon as I started taking the material learned from the course It gave me a different mindset of what to do. When I would work I would only care about the daily tasks, but as the course kept on getting in depth I visualized what I should do for the whole week. Since applying planning I now work for more than just the day but I look forward to what needs to be done during the week. Doing so has developed me into a better employee and a manager on the weekend. Decision making also has been a complicated case for me. At first I always needed to be right, however I look at the bigger picture. In the cafe I workout 66% of our customers are hospital employees, so this means more than likely they will come back at some point. Where I use to decide what to do by saving money for the company short term, I now think long term. In essence I can be stubborn and save 30 cent by not giving them free ranch and they never come again, or I can give them the ranch let them be happy and assure they will come back again, thus bringing us back more money in the long run.

Now this is a link towards an agreement between Brazil and the United Kingdom. I could not find the Youtube video about how management needs to understand peoples different cultures to be effective. However when management is involved from another country to show effectiveness, the manager needs to establish a common ground of both their cultures. I was apart of an assignment in SPC2065 and we discussed how to break past and understand cultural barriers. Where someone from the United Kingdom may be able to lie to get things done, some employees from Brazil may live for their honor and only work honestly. This is something the UK Manager needs to be aware of otherwise they cannot get the  job done effectively or negotiate clearly.

I decided to use this as organizational ethics and corporate government. I chose this photo to represent the Coast Guard's function of ethics. My sister is now in officer training school and I found this neat to understand how the Coast Guard handles its ethics.
