When I was in the military all my supervisors always told me that it was important to have a mentor to help me with my advancement and job performance. The article in the textbook was just reinforcement that that applies in any job you have. It's always important to have someone help provide insight on what could be best for your future at whatever company or profession you decide to go into.]]> 2018-04-20 16:51:59 UTC https://padlet.com/justinwilmot01/d93s25vebsoz/wish/253913447 Module 1 justinwilmot01 https://padlet.com/justinwilmot01/d93s25vebsoz/wish/253913671 Henri Fayol's "14 Principles of Management" have been a significant influence on modern management theory. His practical list of principles helped early 20th century managers learn how to organize and interact with their employees in a productive way.
Although the 14 Principles aren't widely used today, they can still offer guidance for today's managers. Many of the principles are now considered to be common sense, but at the time they were revolutionary concepts for organizational management.

I believe Steve Jobs is one of the best CEO’s because he was able to bring new ideas that were unheard of at the time and make a company that is one of the world’s most valuable companies. There is a rhetorical question I have heard a lot in my life “would you rather be feared or loved?” No matter what you do there will always be someone who doesn’t like it. If you are too relaxed then people see a soft spot and try to take advantage. If you are too hard on people then they let personal feelings get in the way and you can miss out on a lot opportunity. It a double edged sword that is tough to be what everyone wants. I think that Steve Jobs had a vision and he believed in what he was doing and would do anything to accomplish it. After reading the articles there are several occasions that make Steve Jobs sound like a jerk but he was only doing what he had to, and it paid off. I personally may not agree with his behavior towards employees but he was a very effective manager and CEO.

Diversity was a mandatory training every year when i was in the military. There are computer classes and face to face classes on how diversity is for the best.

In-N-Out Burger is consistently expanding already by now being available in six states in total so far. However the competition from other fast food restaurant chains is proof that expansion can work and you can still keep the quality that they strive to maintain ]]> 2018-04-20 17:40:51 UTC https://padlet.com/justinwilmot01/d93s25vebsoz/wish/253935422 Mod 4 justinwilmot01 https://padlet.com/justinwilmot01/d93s25vebsoz/wish/253935454 The planning process is crucial in anything you do. failing to plan is planning to fail.

Zappo’s goal is to WOW the customers, which can’t be done without knowing what the customers want and allowing your employees to be independent thinkers. Viewing the employees as potential for greatness you can get a lot of ideas that the consumers don’t even know they want. ]]> 2018-04-20 17:46:30 UTC https://padlet.com/justinwilmot01/d93s25vebsoz/wish/253937461 Mod5 justinwilmot01 https://padlet.com/justinwilmot01/d93s25vebsoz/wish/253937498 The different types of cultures in a organization.

A lot of companies like to promote from within because they already know how the company works and they have expectations on the employees because they already know their work ethic. Promoting from within improves staff productivity and morale by letting other employees know that they can keep moving up in the company.

Especially positive and negative reinforcement. I feel a lot of people believe that the work they do doesn't matter and it is for the best to provide employees with feedback to let them know they are appreciated.
