But I can't deny that I learned a lot of things in this class for instance, in module 1 I learned about the four basic management functions which were Planning, Organizing, Influencing and Controlling. Utilizing these four functions will make for a great manager, and while learning about them I planned on using them in my career after school, Planning before I take on a task to consider the right way to face the task at hand, Organizing or assigning the right people or myself to a specific part of the task that I know the group of myself can handle, Influencing others with my leadership skills to help motivate them to produce excellent results and Controlling where I gather information and see that the organization takes the right strides.]]> 2018-06-11 12:59:24 UTC https://padlet.com/adambeasley43/MAN2021Beasley/wish/266604485 adambeasley43 https://padlet.com/adambeasley43/MAN2021Beasley/wish/266614893 I chose this artifact due to how motivating it is.

But what makes diversity good for a company is the fact that those older workers will most likely take a millennial under their wing to help them rise up within the company. What I can take from that is in the future for whomever company I will be apart of I should look for the help of another generation of worker to show me the ropes. Accompanied with that I learned how important ethics are for a company, without ethics the workplace can be very vile, meaning no rules followed a gigantic amount of injuries and treachery of any kind. But I took this understanding to heart because now I know that once I have the chance to one day create my own organization, my ethics must be great and my organization should be accompanied with a diverse set of people from young to old to black to white.]]> 2018-06-11 14:25:00 UTC https://padlet.com/adambeasley43/MAN2021Beasley/wish/266625798 adambeasley43 https://padlet.com/adambeasley43/MAN2021Beasley/wish/266629035 I chose this picture because it honestly represents Module 2 in its entirety, the diverse people in this picture perfectly represents module 2.]]> 2018-06-11 14:38:19 UTC https://padlet.com/adambeasley43/MAN2021Beasley/wish/266629035 adambeasley43 https://padlet.com/adambeasley43/MAN2021Beasley/wish/266630034 This video that I found through YouTube explains the very importance of having a diverse workplace, she makes a great point in this video which is why I chose it.

I learned that there are three types of definitions for global organizations which include Domestic Organizations, which are organizations who reside in only one country with less of a international impact, a International Organization which are primarily based in a single country also but has meaningful transactions on a global scale and a multinational organization where a organization has a big impact in a global scale such as McDonalds who are, like I said before, is in a majority of different countries. Alongside this I also learned how complex and different being a manager is in a different country because you have to take notice of having to learn a new language, a new culture and many other things. While reading and doing work in this chapter I took a big interest in global management since I really want to travel to other countries such as Asia or the UK.]]> 2018-06-11 15:07:38 UTC https://padlet.com/adambeasley43/MAN2021Beasley/wish/266636175 adambeasley43 https://padlet.com/adambeasley43/MAN2021Beasley/wish/266647945 I found this article to be somewhat interesting because it was mentioning how Multicultural Managers are rising for a companies need of them, having a manager who is skilled in a different language or culture is great for a company.]]> 2018-06-11 15:57:17 UTC https://padlet.com/adambeasley43/MAN2021Beasley/wish/266647945 adambeasley43 https://padlet.com/adambeasley43/MAN2021Beasley/wish/266650224 When I found this video I had to include it, having a look inside another countries McDonalds is very interesting, seeing how the people work and the different way that the people in the country do their job is so cool.]]> 2018-06-11 16:10:32 UTC https://padlet.com/adambeasley43/MAN2021Beasley/wish/266650224 adambeasley43 https://padlet.com/adambeasley43/MAN2021Beasley/wish/266652273 Remember when I said I didn't know Dominoes was a global company?

Oh my goodness, I didn't know this at all and I did a little research and found out that the Japanese Burger King has different food from the one's here in Florida, they have a black burger and a burger that has fondue cheese, I have to visit one day to tryout these extraordinary burgers.]]> 2018-06-11 16:52:00 UTC https://padlet.com/adambeasley43/MAN2021Beasley/wish/266657646 adambeasley43 https://padlet.com/adambeasley43/MAN2021Beasley/wish/266658801 Here in module 4 I was introduced to the process of planning, planning tools and strategic planning. What I took from this article was the types of plans I could use, ways I could potentially have great communication with employees and being able to make managerial decisions, one of the things that I found to be particular useful from this module was procedures. As explained in chapter five of the book, a procedure is a standing plan that outlines a series of related actions that must be taken to accomplish a particular task, and I thought "if I ever own my own company I should come up with a full proof procedure that could potentially help out." What I also took from this module was how important planning is, without planning so many things could go wrong within a company. I learned that having a very decisive plan will help me in the long run whenever I build my own organization or if I'm apart of one.

I learned organization within an company is crucial, without a good structure a company can possibly effect the way a company does its job, after reading chapter 8 I learned that the new CEO of Microsoft Satya Nadella reorganized the structure of Microsoft creating four different branches which are Applications, which deal with Microsoft office and skype, Cloud and enterprise which deals with storage space and business technologies, Devices and studios which deal with the Xbox and tablets along with videogames and Operating systems which deal with connection between phones, Xbox and computers. With this he single handedly changed the out look of Microsoft, while reading this I learned that having an organized structure will keep things running fluidly throughout a company and I intend to do the same with my classes and as such a business of my own one day. But that's not all I picked up, I also learned about responsibility and authority, traits which are useful in being a manager also, being responsible is one way of being a great manager, a responsible manager takes complete charge in groups, accepts criticism and is able to identify with his group of subordinates. I also took this to heart because I for one have to be responsible, not even for just being a manager, being responsible in life is one of the keys to success. I also picked up on the types of organization cultures which were, Clan culture which is where a organization is characterized by a strong internal focus with a high degree of flexibility and discretion. The clan culture derives its name from the fact that this organization culture seems much like that of a family, Adhocracy culture is an organization culture characterized by flexibility and discretion along with an external focus,  Hierarchy culture which is an organization culture characterized by an internal focus along with an emphasis on stability and control and Market culture which is an organization culture that reflects values that emphasize stability and control along with an external focus. An organization with a market culture is oriented toward all stakeholders in the market, not just customers. And with these four cultures I thought of myself as someone who would want a clan culture, because I would want my employees to be like a family and help each other out when needed.]]> 2018-06-11 20:28:18 UTC https://padlet.com/adambeasley43/MAN2021Beasley/wish/266691318 adambeasley43 https://padlet.com/adambeasley43/MAN2021Beasley/wish/266696516 Zappos is one of the examples of clan culture that was in the book, Zappos is the perfect example for this module also because it fits the description, and I just enjoy how fun loving the business is.]]> 2018-06-11 21:19:44 UTC https://padlet.com/adambeasley43/MAN2021Beasley/wish/266696516 adambeasley43 https://padlet.com/adambeasley43/MAN2021Beasley/wish/266697664 This article is one I found to be helpful as it explains some Organizational skills in the workplace that could potentially be helpful.]]> 2018-06-11 21:30:21 UTC https://padlet.com/adambeasley43/MAN2021Beasley/wish/266697664 adambeasley43 https://padlet.com/adambeasley43/MAN2021Beasley/wish/266698550 I found the way that Microsoft organized their company to be very inspiring, this could be very helpful for upcoming companies.

Looking back I learned that the purpose of Human Resources is to help companies hire the right person, the four steps of this is recruitment, selection, training and performance appraisal, so basically what I picked up from this is that HR is the one who handles hiring people, then what I also picked up was how essential communication can be in the workplace, having a strong sense of communication while working can help everyone stay on page within the company, honestly while reading this section of the book, I realized how my communication skills need improving, I feel as if it is my weakest asset and if I would want to be a true leader I would have to work on it tremendously. Alongside this I learned about team skills which also coincides with having good communication skills, but having good team skills as a leader is something that is needed because you have to work with other people to succeed and with that, I feel as if I'm a team player already, I cooperate with others and give others the chance to show what they got.]]> 2018-06-11 21:49:42 UTC https://padlet.com/adambeasley43/MAN2021Beasley/wish/266699352 adambeasley43 https://padlet.com/adambeasley43/MAN2021Beasley/wish/266723809 I know this was the most obvious choice but yes, even sports have to have good communication and teamwork because without it championships wouldn't be won and sports wouldn't be as interesting either, but I decided to use this article to demonstrate something other than companies using teamwork or communication.]]> 2018-06-12 01:48:37 UTC https://padlet.com/adambeasley43/MAN2021Beasley/wish/266723809 adambeasley43 https://padlet.com/adambeasley43/MAN2021Beasley/wish/266724773 I chose this article because it talks about the power of talking to people in the workplace and the positives of communication.]]> 2018-06-12 01:59:22 UTC https://padlet.com/adambeasley43/MAN2021Beasley/wish/266724773 adambeasley43 https://padlet.com/adambeasley43/MAN2021Beasley/wish/266727545 I chose this video because it gives 5 skills that employers should have before being hired to a company or if they are within a company, these 5 skills are very essential.]]> 2018-06-12 02:15:11 UTC https://padlet.com/adambeasley43/MAN2021Beasley/wish/266727545 adambeasley43 https://padlet.com/adambeasley43/MAN2021Beasley/wish/266728529 For some reason I feel like this picture just screams great communication, it just seems like this group of people are involved with each other through great communication skills, everyone seems focused on what each other has to say.]]> 2018-06-12 02:22:07 UTC https://padlet.com/adambeasley43/MAN2021Beasley/wish/266728529 adambeasley43 https://padlet.com/adambeasley43/MAN2021Beasley/wish/266729421 Module 7 is a recent module that I had completed, this module was about leadership and motivation. Leaders are something more than a manager, a leader is someone who leads others, someone who works alongside the employees, while at the same time being able to motivate them to complete tasks, honestly module 7 taught me the importance of being a leader, you have to be emotionally mature and dependable when it comes leading people, and with motivation I learned that having this skill is also the key to success in a business setting, if you can motivate someone to work then the job will be done quicker. After reading module 7 I felt like I could take what was given and I could apply it to life if I  ever become a manager, I would want to be more than just a manager I would want to lead my subordinates and motivate them any chance I get.]]> 2018-06-12 02:27:49 UTC https://padlet.com/adambeasley43/MAN2021Beasley/wish/266729421 adambeasley43 https://padlet.com/adambeasley43/MAN2021Beasley/wish/266736801 Even in sports leadership is a trait that is used, as you already know, Michael Jordan was one of the best at the time when he played, he led his team with an iron fist.]]> 2018-06-12 03:42:24 UTC https://padlet.com/adambeasley43/MAN2021Beasley/wish/266736801 adambeasley43 https://padlet.com/adambeasley43/MAN2021Beasley/wish/266737041 Had to go back to the great Steve Jobs for this one, here in this video he breaks down the top three leadership skills.]]> 2018-06-12 03:45:26 UTC https://padlet.com/adambeasley43/MAN2021Beasley/wish/266737041 adambeasley43 https://padlet.com/adambeasley43/MAN2021Beasley/wish/266737459 This article explains different ways to motivate your employees with more of a friendly tone, I mean its better to motivate while being nice than angry right?]]> 2018-06-12 03:51:01 UTC https://padlet.com/adambeasley43/MAN2021Beasley/wish/266737459 adambeasley43 https://padlet.com/adambeasley43/MAN2021Beasley/wish/266738278 I found this article great to include because its giving tips on how to demonstrate successful leadership skills, which in honesty helps a lot when your trying to show off leadership capabilities. ]]> 2018-06-12 04:01:05 UTC https://padlet.com/adambeasley43/MAN2021Beasley/wish/266738278 adambeasley43 https://padlet.com/adambeasley43/MAN2021Beasley/wish/266738871 Finally, I made it to the final module, after a long and work filled seven weeks I've finally reached the end of this particular class, I learned many things while I went through this class and I hope to put what I learned to good use in the future, but now to finish my reflective comment. Module 8 was about controlling information and technology and production and control, controlling is basically the same as planning in a sense because it insures that events occurs as planned, so taking that into account with technology ad production, it means that those things will also go as planned. Taking this to account myself, being able to control certain things myself will be a great tool as a manager or owner of a company, so if can learn how to utilize this tool I would be able to make sure my company succeeds in its endeavors.]]> 2018-06-12 04:08:32 UTC https://padlet.com/adambeasley43/MAN2021Beasley/wish/266738871 adambeasley43 https://padlet.com/adambeasley43/MAN2021Beasley/wish/266740660 This article talks about the benefits of production control within manufacturing, which I think the most production control happens anyways.]]> 2018-06-12 04:32:07 UTC https://padlet.com/adambeasley43/MAN2021Beasley/wish/266740660 adambeasley43 https://padlet.com/adambeasley43/MAN2021Beasley/wish/266743132 This article gives tips on how to manage yourself so you can be more productive for your company.]]> 2018-06-12 04:59:52 UTC https://padlet.com/adambeasley43/MAN2021Beasley/wish/266743132 adambeasley43 https://padlet.com/adambeasley43/MAN2021Beasley/wish/266743816 This article explains how you can keep up your productivity at work even if you feel yourself petering out of energy after a couple of hours.]]> 2018-06-12 05:10:59 UTC https://padlet.com/adambeasley43/MAN2021Beasley/wish/266743816 adambeasley43 https://padlet.com/adambeasley43/MAN2021Beasley/wish/266744115 This article speaks of the very control function that module 8 spoke of, it explains how this function works in management and how managers use it.]]> 2018-06-12 05:15:44 UTC https://padlet.com/adambeasley43/MAN2021Beasley/wish/266744115
