According to our Modern Management Book these four activities make up the management process. The four functions are Planning, Organizing,
Influencing, and Controlling.

The article above speaks on the importance of planning within an organization. Within the article I learned by planning I have the ability to be efficient with the use of resources I have available, establish goals, manage risks, create team building, and create competitive advantages.

The picture above symbolize organization within management. Having an organized team allows each team member to work together and put the pieces to the puzzle together to complete the task.

This image provides the importance of control from a management prospective. This segment has helped me learn how to allow myself to be available to my future team members in the best way possible.

I believe learning about diversity within the workplace will allow me to easily develop positive relationships within the workplace.

While this video is hilarious it speaks volumes on what not to do in order to insert diversity within a workplace setting. Having a stereotypical mindset will only hinder the workplace to be more engaged and opened to diversity.

The picture above depicts what ethics should and shouldn't be. Ethics shouldn't be define as a rule of the workplace. I believe it should be identified as the tone of the workplace.

This picture reflects the importance of knowing each team members culture. There should always be open communication to each employee on his or her culture. No company should have their team members uncomfortable with their surroundings.

This picture shows examples of culture. I believe of you allow team members to reflect over each one of those examples there would be more open communication within a company. Example: have a culture food potluck. This will allow all the team members to learn and explore the different culture backgrounds within the company. ]]> 2018-06-25 20:00:40 UTC https://padlet.com/moneshia16/djtti9xwaqny/wish/268507191 moneshia16 https://padlet.com/moneshia16/djtti9xwaqny/wish/268509586 For module 3 we were asked to read chapter four of our textbooks. Within this chapter change and stress within an organization stood out to me. In order to be a great manager you have to know when a change is required. Once that change is implemented you have to know how to control the stress it will cause.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q38O7fg9ogI

The video above shows how a change in management can be confusing and stressful to team members. However, I learned how to control that stress by adopting strategies to help prevent the initial development of unwanted stressors. (pg 252 of our textbooks.)

This article explains why change is so important within an organization. Embracing change brings nothing but success for a company.

https://www.raconteur.net/business/stress-work-always-bad

When I first hear the word stress I automatically put a negative condensation around the word. However, this articles allows me to view stress in a positive light. All stress is not bad. We as humans sometimes need positive stress to survive.

This clip allows management to help their employees to manage stress. The man in this photo is allowing stress to weigh him down. No one in the workplace should feel as though stress is weighing them down and they are unable to work through it.

What stood out to me was Strategic Planning. By planning strategically allows the manager to be more successfully instead of "cutting corners" and failing.

https://www.clearpointstrategy.com/communicating-strategy-be-effective/

This article explains how to communicate with your employees in reference to strategic planning. Email and text alone isn't always clear. Always allow verbal communication and ensure any questions and concerns are answered.

If there are any issues within the company instead of sitting around like the two men in this picture allow conversations to be had. Getting your team together and setting a blueprint will take the company so much further.

Within this picture we can see a team discussing something. Strategic planning isn't just placed on the manager. Managers has to allow teamwork to be involved in planning. By allowing all voices to be heard this will bring success for the team and company.

Looking at this picture we see groups of individuals however, one person is by them self. When planning I've learned you are not alone. You can always reach out to your leaders and peers to bounce off ideas from once another.]]> 2018-06-26 01:33:16 UTC https://padlet.com/moneshia16/djtti9xwaqny/wish/268533034 moneshia16 https://padlet.com/moneshia16/djtti9xwaqny/wish/268538825 I enjoyed learning about responsibility, authority, and delegation for Module 5. Manager are responsible to ensure the structure of the company is always running as smoothly as possible.

http://whartonmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/470966407.jpg

Once a person accepts a job they agree to carry out the duties of that job. As a manager we are there to oversee those duties are carried out. We cannot allow some people carrying out those duties while some individuals aren't. In this picture you can see a worker calling out two other workers. There should never be confusion or blaming within the workplace.

I am currently 26 years old and once I complete my degree I will be 27. This article spoke directly to me due to the fact I will be a younger individual striving to be in a managerial position. Once I oversee a team I want to ensure I am respected and token seriously.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/want-to-maintain-your-authority-dont-make-these-four-mistakes/

This article allowed me to learn some of the mistakes a manager can do in order to lose authority within the workplace. As a manager I always want my team to know that I have their best interest and our team under control.

I learned about the four sequential steps of providing the appropriate human resources. Those four are Recruitment, Selection, Training, and Performance appraisal.

https://www.shrm.org/hr-today/news/hr-magazine/0716/pages/12-recruiting-tips-from-talent-acquisition-leaders.aspx

This article advises me on 12 tips on the recruitment process. Having these tips will help me in my future position as I look for new talent for my future company.

I believe selection of hiring a candidate will be one of the hardest things for me on the HR team. Typically when someone goes in for an interview they put their best appearance, personality, and charm on. By creating a score card with a grading scale similar to the one above will allow me to spend least time stressing over which candidate to pick.

Training is always an important essential to any task. Human resource training is no different. Within the article above if gave me tips on how to train effectively.

Every employee wants to be recognized for their work. The image above gave me a quick cheat sheet in order to manage a performance appraisal with my future employees.

As a leader we have to know what we are striving for. What is the essence of our motivation? What is driving us? Once we are able to answer these questions on our own we can conquer so much.

These two images speaks about motivation. A manager has the power to encourage and motivate their team members to become better and excel. Team member should never regress or become stagnate. If this happens the company will become the same.

While reviewing these chapter I really took a hold of quality. Within the pictures I have pasted below shows exactly how important quality is. The quality of a product, customer service, or a service can make or break a company. Delivering superior quality always ensures the consumer is satisfied. Quality is not a one man show it is a team effort. In order to continue to grow and build within any company the quality behind it's product must satisfy the needs of the consumer.
