Something that specifically motivates me is fishing. In the future, I would like to work for bass pro shops.

This is because men and women both have different characteristics such as compassion and decision making that can make or break a business.

This will make a company flow better when everyone understand their role.

A good leader needs to be decisive, but with great power comes great responsibility. Good decisions need to be made in the planning process. ]]> 2018-06-14 17:07:26 UTC https://padlet.com/jhoffma7/MAN2021Hoffman/wish/267248487 jhoffma7 https://padlet.com/jhoffma7/MAN2021Hoffman/wish/267249579 Along with planning comes organization. A good plan needs to be organized and detailed with certain achievable goals.

A good analogy is you cannot have too many chiefs and not enough Indians. ]]> 2018-06-14 17:33:29 UTC https://padlet.com/jhoffma7/MAN2021Hoffman/wish/267252135 jhoffma7 https://padlet.com/jhoffma7/MAN2021Hoffman/wish/267252985 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]]> 2018-06-14 17:39:45 UTC https://padlet.com/jhoffma7/MAN2021Hoffman/wish/267252985 jhoffma7 https://padlet.com/jhoffma7/MAN2021Hoffman/wish/267253979 As mentioned in the module, Marriot became a global organization through expanding to other countries. The catastrophe in Haiti sparked a global spread by building a hotel in the country, benefitting both the country and the hotel. The hotel continued to spread into the Middle East as well.

McDonald's spread their fast food chain restaurant to all of the world and now have restaurants in over 100 different countries. ]]> 2018-06-14 17:58:15 UTC https://padlet.com/jhoffma7/MAN2021Hoffman/wish/267255908 jhoffma7 https://padlet.com/jhoffma7/MAN2021Hoffman/wish/267257293 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. ]]> 2018-06-14 18:08:03 UTC https://padlet.com/jhoffma7/MAN2021Hoffman/wish/267257293 jhoffma7 https://padlet.com/jhoffma7/MAN2021Hoffman/wish/267258260 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 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. ]]> 2018-06-14 18:46:22 UTC https://padlet.com/jhoffma7/MAN2021Hoffman/wish/267262130 jhoffma7 https://padlet.com/jhoffma7/MAN2021Hoffman/wish/267262515 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". This reminds me of when I played travel hockey and my team won a Long Island championship because everyone understood their role. (Tournament picture won't upload but this was the team)]]> 2018-06-14 18:49:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jhoffma7/MAN2021Hoffman/wish/267262515 jhoffma7 https://padlet.com/jhoffma7/MAN2021Hoffman/wish/267264856 For success, their must be an effective plan that is implemented. According to Certo, this plan consists of objectives, listing alternatives, promises upon the objective, selecting alternatives, plans for the alternative, and putting the plans into action. ]]> 2018-06-14 19:10:00 UTC https://padlet.com/jhoffma7/MAN2021Hoffman/wish/267264856 jhoffma7 https://padlet.com/jhoffma7/MAN2021Hoffman/wish/267265190 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. ]]> 2018-06-14 19:12:51 UTC https://padlet.com/jhoffma7/MAN2021Hoffman/wish/267265190 jhoffma7 https://padlet.com/jhoffma7/MAN2021Hoffman/wish/267267035 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.

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. ]]> 2018-06-15 19:32:18 UTC https://padlet.com/jhoffma7/MAN2021Hoffman/wish/267407847 jhoffma7 https://padlet.com/jhoffma7/MAN2021Hoffman/wish/267407872 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. ]]> 2018-06-15 19:32:36 UTC https://padlet.com/jhoffma7/MAN2021Hoffman/wish/267407872 jhoffma7 https://padlet.com/jhoffma7/MAN2021Hoffman/wish/267407898 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. ]]> 2018-06-15 19:33:01 UTC https://padlet.com/jhoffma7/MAN2021Hoffman/wish/267407898 jhoffma7 https://padlet.com/jhoffma7/MAN2021Hoffman/wish/267407928 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. Human variable is strongly emphasized throughout this process. Without the appropriate emphasis, an organization will most likely fail.

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. ]]> 2018-06-15 22:11:15 UTC https://padlet.com/jhoffma7/MAN2021Hoffman/wish/267416764 jhoffma7 https://padlet.com/jhoffma7/MAN2021Hoffman/wish/267428934 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. ]]> 2018-06-16 05:05:51 UTC https://padlet.com/jhoffma7/MAN2021Hoffman/wish/267428934 jhoffma7 https://padlet.com/jhoffma7/MAN2021Hoffman/wish/267428960 Training needs to be determined based on what is necessary to complete a job. Personally, when I think of training, I think of going to the gym and running because I want to be the best atheket I can personally be. ]]> 2018-06-16 05:07:49 UTC https://padlet.com/jhoffma7/MAN2021Hoffman/wish/267428960 jhoffma7 https://padlet.com/jhoffma7/MAN2021Hoffman/wish/267428998 In order to influence someone, I think you need to have their trust. Someone who has influenced me to do the things I have done and become the person I am today is my dad. He has always been there for me and helps me make big life decisions.

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. ]]> 2018-06-16 05:11:31 UTC https://padlet.com/jhoffma7/MAN2021Hoffman/wish/267429056 jhoffma7 https://padlet.com/jhoffma7/MAN2021Hoffman/wish/267429076 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. When I know I have a lacrosse game or a big event that requires a high performance, I usually watch the same youtube video that talks about success. ]]> 2018-06-16 05:12:29 UTC https://padlet.com/jhoffma7/MAN2021Hoffman/wish/267429076 jhoffma7 https://padlet.com/jhoffma7/MAN2021Hoffman/wish/267429890 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. ]]> 2018-06-16 05:56:18 UTC https://padlet.com/jhoffma7/MAN2021Hoffman/wish/267429890 jhoffma7 https://padlet.com/jhoffma7/MAN2021Hoffman/wish/267429903 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. ]]> 2018-06-16 05:57:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jhoffma7/MAN2021Hoffman/wish/267429903 jhoffma7 https://padlet.com/jhoffma7/MAN2021Hoffman/wish/267429955 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). ]]> 2018-06-16 06:00:00 UTC https://padlet.com/jhoffma7/MAN2021Hoffman/wish/267429955 jhoffma7 https://padlet.com/jhoffma7/MAN2021Hoffman/wish/267429964 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. ]]> 2018-06-16 06:00:43 UTC https://padlet.com/jhoffma7/MAN2021Hoffman/wish/267429964 jhoffma7 https://padlet.com/jhoffma7/MAN2021Hoffman/wish/267429975 One way to motivate people is by providing incentives. Most of these incentives include rewards for performing well.
