To myself it was actually a very eye opening experience in what I thought I knew. I had heard of the name Steve Jobs before but I had never heard about him being such a bad people person. I knew that Apple must have loved him because he helped them flourish during the recession and beyond that. This whole section was important to me on a personal level. If I am ever put in a management role in a job I would hope to even be able to do half as well as Steve Jobs. That being said I would much rather be a great manager and be one that the people under me actually liked. I would hope that I can bring out the best in my employees without being seen as a maniacal tyrant.]]> 2017-09-15 17:54:41 UTC https://padlet.com/chrisgarcia373/ChrisGarcia/wish/188049335 Module 1 chrisgarcia373 https://padlet.com/chrisgarcia373/ChrisGarcia/wish/188052610 So after learning more about Steve Jobs I decided to look into any documentaries or anything of the sort that might have been made about him. and I found these two films that were insightful and I enjoyed my time watching them. I would not call these the greatest films of all time but they were enjoyable and I wanted to finish them.]]> 2017-09-15 18:02:51 UTC https://padlet.com/chrisgarcia373/ChrisGarcia/wish/188052610 Module 1 chrisgarcia373 https://padlet.com/chrisgarcia373/ChrisGarcia/wish/188054945 This is the other film]]> 2017-09-15 18:08:37 UTC https://padlet.com/chrisgarcia373/ChrisGarcia/wish/188054945 Module 1 chrisgarcia373 https://padlet.com/chrisgarcia373/ChrisGarcia/wish/188055691 So after thinking some more I wanted to know whether professionals out in the world thought like I did. That could you be a good manager and still be liked? I found this article by someone who would disagree with me.
http://smallbusiness.co.uk/why-you-cannot-be-a-good-manager-if-you-want-to-be-liked-2470667/]]> 2017-09-15 18:10:19 UTC https://padlet.com/chrisgarcia373/ChrisGarcia/wish/188055691 Module 2 chrisgarcia373 https://padlet.com/chrisgarcia373/ChrisGarcia/wish/191421774 This Module has been very thought provoking. It surprises me that though c research shows us that having a diverse workforce from top to bottom most companies do not heed this information. Why do they continue to not have women or other minority groups in positions of management? Are they under qualified? Or are their just not many women and minorities who inspire to be at those levels?]]> 2017-09-26 18:51:32 UTC https://padlet.com/chrisgarcia373/ChrisGarcia/wish/191421774 Module 2 chrisgarcia373 https://padlet.com/chrisgarcia373/ChrisGarcia/wish/191457295 I found this article an interesting read. I think it shows some of the push back and difficulties that women face in the workplace. https://www.wsj.com/articles/sheryl-sandberg-women-are-leaning-inbut-they-face-pushback-1474963980]]> 2017-09-26 20:30:30 UTC https://padlet.com/chrisgarcia373/ChrisGarcia/wish/191457295 Module 2 chrisgarcia373 https://padlet.com/chrisgarcia373/ChrisGarcia/wish/191458461 This movie shows how companies can interact with diversity in a modern time. Not only is the boss Female but it also shows diversity of age within the company. As their are many different generations in this company.]]> 2017-09-26 20:34:39 UTC https://padlet.com/chrisgarcia373/ChrisGarcia/wish/191458461 Module 2 chrisgarcia373 https://padlet.com/chrisgarcia373/ChrisGarcia/wish/192608825
This area of discussion has caused me to think about diversity itself in our lives. I live in an area of town where you can find people of every single color. It doesn't bother me because I see the person not the skin. But yet you have people who will still treat others badly because of how they look. Just like work companies even if they know better will still not diversify because of people who are prejudice. It's wrong but still continues to happen.

It taught us that there are different ways a company can work global but still have a home country office and others who do not. It showed how even great global companies can become greater by merging with others. Like Marriott for example.]]> 2017-09-29 20:20:35 UTC https://padlet.com/chrisgarcia373/ChrisGarcia/wish/192609724 Module 3 chrisgarcia373 https://padlet.com/chrisgarcia373/ChrisGarcia/wish/192610416 This article I found shows that even a small start up can turn into a global organization. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2017-08-01/how-two-brothers-turned-seven-lines-of-code-into-a-9-2-billion-startup]]> 2017-09-29 20:24:03 UTC https://padlet.com/chrisgarcia373/ChrisGarcia/wish/192610416 Module 3 chrisgarcia373 https://padlet.com/chrisgarcia373/ChrisGarcia/wish/192610781

This article is a good example about how to think of other cultures with in international companies. https://www.hermanmiller.com/MarketFacingTech/hmc/research/research_summaries/assets/wp_Companies_Global.pdf

This is something I had honestly never seen before but after doing this task I feel silly for not having done it before. We were tasked with using it as if we worked for IN-N-Out Burger. It was such a different way to even think about decisions. There was so much that could have been great for the franchise and yet I decided it would risk too much of their own philosophy.]]> 2017-10-05 22:41:54 UTC https://padlet.com/chrisgarcia373/ChrisGarcia/wish/194523032 Module 4 chrisgarcia373 https://padlet.com/chrisgarcia373/ChrisGarcia/wish/194523806

While no one would think of this and I like to continue with finding a movie that would relate to every module I would like to think that this movie the owner would have had to do his own SWOT chart before he decided too hire this player.

It shouldn't be the only thing though. It should be a part of the planning process. Not the end all be all. Just like everything with planning its to help you make a well educated, informed decision. Not a rash ooh this looks good kind of impulse decision.]]> 2017-10-05 23:02:38 UTC https://padlet.com/chrisgarcia373/ChrisGarcia/wish/194524822 Module 4 chrisgarcia373 https://padlet.com/chrisgarcia373/ChrisGarcia/wish/194538440 Planning is the most essential function in any business. If the leaders don't have a plan then the company can fail. However if they make a decision without any form of planning the idea could fail and possibly majorly effect the company depending on the magnitude of the decision made without planning. This is an article that shows companies did not plan for changes and who were to late in their decisions. https://money.usnews.com/money/blogs/flowchart/2010/08/19/10-great-companies-that-lost-their-edge]]> 2017-10-06 01:36:58 UTC https://padlet.com/chrisgarcia373/ChrisGarcia/wish/194538440 Module 5 chrisgarcia373 https://padlet.com/chrisgarcia373/ChrisGarcia/wish/195016332 Organizational culture is important not only to the workers but to the customer base. I personally if I found out that all kind of immoral things were going on at a company like rapes or cheating, stealing, or other unethical things I would try to make a point to not help that company by buying their services or to buy their products.]]> 2017-10-08 16:38:43 UTC https://padlet.com/chrisgarcia373/ChrisGarcia/wish/195016332 Module 5 chrisgarcia373 https://padlet.com/chrisgarcia373/ChrisGarcia/wish/195408874 Culture is also important in where I work. I have never made what I would continue a Big amount of hourly pay in my life. But even if I was making a huge amount of money its hard to work for a company who culture is bad. Whether its a culture of racism, sexism, rudeness, or anything illegal I would just want out. ]]> 2017-10-10 00:10:21 UTC https://padlet.com/chrisgarcia373/ChrisGarcia/wish/195408874 Module 5 chrisgarcia373 https://padlet.com/chrisgarcia373/ChrisGarcia/wish/195414116 Growing up I know I wanted to work here. Firstly the culture seems to be about fun and respect. The workers seemed happy and the boss while a bit eccentric did not seem like a terrible person to work for. This is probably a lot of people ideal work culture would be and what I like to wonder what it is like to work for Google.]]> 2017-10-10 00:51:15 UTC https://padlet.com/chrisgarcia373/ChrisGarcia/wish/195414116 Module 5 chrisgarcia373 https://padlet.com/chrisgarcia373/ChrisGarcia/wish/195414410 This is an article that I have found about signs that a company may have a culture problem. I am sure that there is more then just 10 it does show some big problems. If you are in a company that is showing these signs it might be time to retire or get out of the company. But I am not naïve enough to think that something is as simple as that as it is hard to leave a place that has been helping you put bread on the table when there is no guarantee that there might be another job somewhere else. https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbesleadershipforum/2014/05/19/10-signs-that-a-company-has-a-serious-culture-problem/#489595232685]]> 2017-10-10 00:53:35 UTC https://padlet.com/chrisgarcia373/ChrisGarcia/wish/195414410 Module 6 chrisgarcia373 https://padlet.com/chrisgarcia373/ChrisGarcia/wish/195414745 Recruitment is what I would believe is the second most important aspect to a company. Behind making money. If you cant recruit people from the highest to the lower levels it's going to be difficult for you to be able to function as a company. Can't run a company if their is no one to run it. Maybe in the future companies will do all the recruitment themselves but until we get there we should enjoy that these firms provide people jobs while they help find people for jobs available at other companies.]]> 2017-10-10 00:56:04 UTC https://padlet.com/chrisgarcia373/ChrisGarcia/wish/195414745 Module 6 chrisgarcia373 https://padlet.com/chrisgarcia373/ChrisGarcia/wish/195418405 Human resources are what I would call a sub division of management. Not meaning that as an insult but just as a what I feel about it. Here at FSCJ it is offered as a completely different section of a bachelors program. It's an important part because while you may have managers that work with the machines or the warehouse floor. A HR manager is someone that works for every single person in the company. It's a difficult job that probably goes a lot of the time thankless. ]]> 2017-10-10 01:18:27 UTC https://padlet.com/chrisgarcia373/ChrisGarcia/wish/195418405 Module 6 chrisgarcia373 https://padlet.com/chrisgarcia373/ChrisGarcia/wish/195419907 I get this show is a comedy. But if this were a real life company HR themselves would probably all quit just from the lawsuits and harassment that goes on in this TV show. The poor HR people that have to deal with that horrible manager who I am not even sure how he kept his job all these years.]]> 2017-10-10 01:28:10 UTC https://padlet.com/chrisgarcia373/ChrisGarcia/wish/195419907 Module 6 chrisgarcia373 https://padlet.com/chrisgarcia373/ChrisGarcia/wish/195421053 This article I have found talks about what I believe to be a horrible practice of any HR department. To rank people I totally understand and have no problem with it. But to have quotas that each must be in is totally uncalled for and not morale. Good people did not their get due and its a horrible practice.

Everyone thinks that a manager is automatically a leader. That's just not true. You can be a great manager and a horrible leader and vice versa. They are similar but also two different concepts. Like apples and oranges. Both are fruit but a different kind of fruit. To me it resembles a good example of the differences.]]> 2017-10-10 01:51:08 UTC https://padlet.com/chrisgarcia373/ChrisGarcia/wish/195422902 Module 7 chrisgarcia373 https://padlet.com/chrisgarcia373/ChrisGarcia/wish/195438648 This is an article to make me think. I hope I never have in my future any of these things said about me. It may happen but I hope not. Its up to myself and I have to think with my head and heart. https://www.forbes.com/sites/braintree/2017/09/14/how-to-capitalize-on-the-global-e-wallet-opportunity/#7f7ec9032451]]> 2017-10-10 03:58:28 UTC https://padlet.com/chrisgarcia373/ChrisGarcia/wish/195438648 Module 7 chrisgarcia373 https://padlet.com/chrisgarcia373/ChrisGarcia/wish/195438815 So this is another article that is based on movies. It shows famous movie leaders who in real life would be absolutely horrible. I found it to be funny and yet thought provoking. You may think someone is a great leader until they are your leader. http://www.cracked.com/article_18594_6-iconic-movie-leaders-who-arent-fit-to-lead-parade.html]]> 2017-10-10 03:59:50 UTC https://padlet.com/chrisgarcia373/ChrisGarcia/wish/195438815 Module 7 chrisgarcia373 https://padlet.com/chrisgarcia373/ChrisGarcia/wish/195441273 Here is what I believe is the truth. To be the best manager and leader you need to listen to your people. I believe that even the best people get fired because of lack money being made but it does not mean they are a bad manager. The best people I have worked for I would if they ask give them a recommendation even though they were my boss. One of them even fired me but she was such a good manager and leader that I would firmly believe if she got fired it was due to just numbers and not lack of ability on her part.]]> 2017-10-10 04:19:01 UTC https://padlet.com/chrisgarcia373/ChrisGarcia/wish/195441273 Module 8 chrisgarcia373 https://padlet.com/chrisgarcia373/ChrisGarcia/wish/195760602 Production. Production can mean many things. It could mean the amount of products that you are making, distributing, or processing and delivering to customers or other stores. It could also mean in a service type department could mean the amount of service calls fielded or people helped in a certain period. It all depends on what field you are in but every jo has a certain level of production associated with it. It's a managers job to make sure that the production levels are where they need to be for the company to thrive.]]> 2017-10-10 18:19:52 UTC https://padlet.com/chrisgarcia373/ChrisGarcia/wish/195760602 Module 8 chrisgarcia373 https://padlet.com/chrisgarcia373/ChrisGarcia/wish/195768428 This article is a little bit old but this was a little harder to find an article of this module that I liked and felt it was helpful. its a short article but it talks about tips to help you increase warehouse production. Which would be good for everyone involved. As more production efficiency can me bringing in more customers and jobs and even raises for the people who are doing efficient work. http://www.inboundlogistics.com/cms/article/increasing-warehouse-productivity/]]> 2017-10-10 18:34:49 UTC https://padlet.com/chrisgarcia373/ChrisGarcia/wish/195768428 Module 8 chrisgarcia373 https://padlet.com/chrisgarcia373/ChrisGarcia/wish/195777475 This is a movie I have very much enjoyed. The business in the movie is a toy company. While you wouldn't think about it they had production in the sales department and obviously at the warehouse where these toys were made. And then the toy store it self has production values based on the amount of toys that they sell. Everywhere you go there can be a reference to production of some type.]]> 2017-10-10 18:53:35 UTC https://padlet.com/chrisgarcia373/ChrisGarcia/wish/195777475 Module 8 chrisgarcia373 https://padlet.com/chrisgarcia373/ChrisGarcia/wish/195791190 The concept of controlling is a very important one. Basically it means everything that must be done to ensure that an event occurs as it was planned to occur. This could be from a fun company picnic. To something like adding a new product line into the production process or slowly taking a product out of rotation. Helpfully everything will go as planned and most good managers are able to make sure this happens. When it doesn't those same managers need to think on their feet to make sure that things go back to plan as quickly and non disruptive as possible.]]> 2017-10-10 19:27:10 UTC https://padlet.com/chrisgarcia373/ChrisGarcia/wish/195791190
