It showed how to spot a great employee at different stages of their career from a management standpoint.]]> 2019-04-22 21:38:53 UTC https://padlet.com/lips_colleen/Man2021_Lips/wish/353188159 lips_colleen https://padlet.com/lips_colleen/Man2021_Lips/wish/353188620 This was one of my favorite articles to read. It shows why companies who have female CEO's make more money.  It addresses how different traits in the female brain help. For example, men can be wired to take action, while women will sit back and analyze a situation.]]> 2019-04-22 21:42:39 UTC https://padlet.com/lips_colleen/Man2021_Lips/wish/353188620 lips_colleen https://padlet.com/lips_colleen/Man2021_Lips/wish/353189799 I found this video about Frederick Taylor and his development of scientific management. His method called "Taylorism" revolutionized the workforce and was adapted almost everywhere. There were many advantages, like higher production and better quality parts, but aldisadvantages like expendable employees that would become burnt out from repetitive work.]]> 2019-04-22 21:51:42 UTC https://padlet.com/lips_colleen/Man2021_Lips/wish/353189799 lips_colleen https://padlet.com/lips_colleen/Man2021_Lips/wish/353191238 Building from the video about Frederick Taylor, I found this video about the Hawthorne Studies, which added the human satisfaction element to the methods of Frederick Taylor. The studies showed that keeping the employees happy was an integral part of running a business. ]]> 2019-04-22 22:05:23 UTC https://padlet.com/lips_colleen/Man2021_Lips/wish/353191238 lips_colleen https://padlet.com/lips_colleen/Man2021_Lips/wish/353192009 This article shows many reasons why corporate social responsibility is important.

This article highlights some of the key ones like how it can increase profits and it can also decrease turnover. Having a diverse workplace with people from all different backgrounds can help solve problems in different ways, it can introduce wider range of skills and it can, eventually help reduce racism. ]]> 2019-04-22 22:23:51 UTC https://padlet.com/lips_colleen/Man2021_Lips/wish/353193096 lips_colleen https://padlet.com/lips_colleen/Man2021_Lips/wish/353196916 This video takes an inspiring look at how to bridge the gap of the multi generational workplace. She simply states that to bridge the gap, we need to find commonalities between the generations and not see one another as different generations, but as people. She states that we all have to learn and also mentor to help. ]]> 2019-04-22 22:58:56 UTC https://padlet.com/lips_colleen/Man2021_Lips/wish/353196916 lips_colleen https://padlet.com/lips_colleen/Man2021_Lips/wish/353197376 One of the biggest examples of what not having a diversely trained staff can do to your business is Starbucks. In 2018, one of their stores treated two minorities abhorrently for having a work meeting, even having them arrested. Because of this, Starbucks immediately acted upon and closed all stores to conduct a diversity training to ensure this situation would not happen again. This shows the affect a situation like this can have on even the biggest of corporations. Diversity training is a very important tool. ]]> 2019-04-22 23:02:45 UTC https://padlet.com/lips_colleen/Man2021_Lips/wish/353197376 lips_colleen https://padlet.com/lips_colleen/Man2021_Lips/wish/353198879 While many large companies thrive overseas, some most certainly do not. It is not as easy as taking a popular American name and moving it to a different location in the world. The company will have to adapt to the culture and ways of their host country. A giant company here, like Best Buy, did not take the needs and wants of the foreign company and we unable to succeed in other locations like in America.]]> 2019-04-22 23:15:41 UTC https://padlet.com/lips_colleen/Man2021_Lips/wish/353198879 lips_colleen https://padlet.com/lips_colleen/Man2021_Lips/wish/353199425 In turn, this article describes how to run a successful transnational company. It describes the most basic observation, be willing to adapt and change depending on the needs of the consumers. It describes the success of the company Unilever and how when the market changed, so did they. ]]> 2019-04-22 23:20:04 UTC https://padlet.com/lips_colleen/Man2021_Lips/wish/353199425 lips_colleen https://padlet.com/lips_colleen/Man2021_Lips/wish/353200439 This video very clearly details the steps to overcoming cultural differences to work together in any environment in any country. It goes through the steps recognition, respect and then reconciliation. He also shows great examples of how these can be implemented in real life. It ends with an inspirational quote 'success comes not from suppressing differences but from using those differences to gain new insights to solves problems'.]]> 2019-04-22 23:27:43 UTC https://padlet.com/lips_colleen/Man2021_Lips/wish/353200439 lips_colleen https://padlet.com/lips_colleen/Man2021_Lips/wish/353201499 This picture goes a little deeper than the section in the book titled 'Maintaining Ethics in International Management'. It shows 8 key factors in how to maintain an ethical business both domestically and overseas. ]]> 2019-04-22 23:36:38 UTC https://padlet.com/lips_colleen/Man2021_Lips/wish/353201499 lips_colleen https://padlet.com/lips_colleen/Man2021_Lips/wish/353203178 I am a team lead in charge of a production based team. We have many projects and deadlines going at once. A Gantt chart would be very helpful for me to delegate and work through these. I chose this video to get a better understand so that I can use one in my every day life. ]]> 2019-04-22 23:48:41 UTC https://padlet.com/lips_colleen/Man2021_Lips/wish/353203178 lips_colleen https://padlet.com/lips_colleen/Man2021_Lips/wish/353205282 This was a really informative video about decision making. The part I resonated the most was the speakers 'monster choice dilemma'. Basically, he stated if we are faced with too many options, we become paralyzed and are unable to make a decision. He compares this to buying too many things at the store or deciding what to do with your life. I really relate to this as I am 30 going back to school because I honestly had to idea what I wanted to do for a living. The speaker said the way to combat this is to simplify. He said the magic number is seven and if you can narrow down the stimulus to seven, making a decision is possible.]]> 2019-04-23 00:05:03 UTC https://padlet.com/lips_colleen/Man2021_Lips/wish/353205282 lips_colleen https://padlet.com/lips_colleen/Man2021_Lips/wish/353206865 I really enjoy the idea of the Delphi technique for group decisions. It takes the standard survey one step further to ensure optimal success. Going over the anonymous answers with the group to develop additional questions seems really beneficial. We have many meetings in management that never come to a sturdy conclusion and I feel testing this method with definitely help. ]]> 2019-04-23 00:16:55 UTC https://padlet.com/lips_colleen/Man2021_Lips/wish/353206865 lips_colleen https://padlet.com/lips_colleen/Man2021_Lips/wish/353208552 I added this video because I was not very confident in my understanding of this model from the example in the book. The company I work for has 7 or 8 different companies under our parent company so this model would be very useful to us and I wanted to have a better understanding of it. This is a very instructive video that really breaks it down in a visual way. ]]> 2019-04-23 00:29:53 UTC https://padlet.com/lips_colleen/Man2021_Lips/wish/353208552 lips_colleen https://padlet.com/lips_colleen/Man2021_Lips/wish/353209075 This article shows 4 organizational strategies to implement in 2018. Employee growth I feel is the most important because those are the people who come in every day and do the work. A main part of business is growing within a company and it is difficult to do that without the proper training. We have a full 2 week training, along with monthly training's and weekly meetings to go over new policies. We didn't use to utilize this and we have a lot of turnover. ]]> 2019-04-23 00:34:19 UTC https://padlet.com/lips_colleen/Man2021_Lips/wish/353209075 lips_colleen https://padlet.com/lips_colleen/Man2021_Lips/wish/353219011 I added this because it is just such a simple yet powerful message. It truly shows the difference when the authority of a leader is displayed appropriately. I believe that any good leader shouldn't ask anyone to do anything they aren't willing to do themselves. This is how I try to lead my team every day. ]]> 2019-04-23 01:37:55 UTC https://padlet.com/lips_colleen/Man2021_Lips/wish/353219011 lips_colleen https://padlet.com/lips_colleen/Man2021_Lips/wish/353219992 I really enjoy the message this video portrays. I don't know anyone that can't relate exactly to this video, myself included. Delegating is one of the hardest parts of being a leader. I have a habit of being just like John and I try to do everything myself. This course has helped to teach me how to delegate and the benefits of it. I hope to never be in this situation ever again. ]]> 2019-04-23 01:44:32 UTC https://padlet.com/lips_colleen/Man2021_Lips/wish/353219992 lips_colleen https://padlet.com/lips_colleen/Man2021_Lips/wish/353553058 Authority is such a misused thing in almost any job. I found this article really helpful to understand the difference. It was also helpful to learn that the type of tasks that are delegated could also create the misuse of authority in the first place. ]]> 2019-04-23 21:46:01 UTC https://padlet.com/lips_colleen/Man2021_Lips/wish/353553058 lips_colleen https://padlet.com/lips_colleen/Man2021_Lips/wish/353554456 This video was all about how important company culture is to a business. It highlighted speeches from top leaders from companies like Zappos, Southwest and WD-40. A really interesting part was the CEO of Zappos told his story about how he had a company prior that they sold to Microsoft because the company culture was so off. They had to start over and create a new company with the right culture to succeed. It shows how important the right organizational culture is to the success of a business. ]]> 2019-04-23 21:55:40 UTC https://padlet.com/lips_colleen/Man2021_Lips/wish/353554456 lips_colleen https://padlet.com/lips_colleen/Man2021_Lips/wish/353557567 There were a few myths on here that I thought were true before this class. I thought if culture was bad, it would take years to fix or to pin point the one thing that could change it all. This class has shown me that it's more than one thing and it can be changed quickly if the right people are motivated to make it happen. HR is not the only department that can fix these things either, everyone needs to do their part to create the ultimate culture in the workplace.]]> 2019-04-23 22:17:54 UTC https://padlet.com/lips_colleen/Man2021_Lips/wish/353557567 lips_colleen https://padlet.com/lips_colleen/Man2021_Lips/wish/353559118 In chapter 10, there was a section regarding management inventory cards and position replacement forms. This is an example of a hybrid one I actually started using at my current job and we now use for all current and new employees. It has helped us become organized and facilitate cross training. This tool is instrumental in my every day life now.]]> 2019-04-23 22:32:59 UTC https://padlet.com/lips_colleen/Man2021_Lips/wish/353559118 lips_colleen https://padlet.com/lips_colleen/Man2021_Lips/wish/353559937 I have always enjoyed taking personality tests, but it wasn't until recently that I was really able to appreciate them. In our management team, we take them every few months and analyze the answers to help promote self and professional growth. It is always interesting to see how a personality test can change how you view yourself and enact change. I am a very logic based personality and I have trouble with my emotional IQ. Learning these things in a personality test has shown me which areas I can focus on for improvement. ]]> 2019-04-23 22:39:50 UTC https://padlet.com/lips_colleen/Man2021_Lips/wish/353559937 lips_colleen https://padlet.com/lips_colleen/Man2021_Lips/wish/353562466 This is a short but informative video describing how important interpersonal skills are. It details the short tenure of an employee named Fred who is unable to demonstrate any of the interpersonal skills necessary to be a good employee. It was a great look at examples of why all of these skills are invaluable to businesses. ]]> 2019-04-23 22:59:02 UTC https://padlet.com/lips_colleen/Man2021_Lips/wish/353562466 lips_colleen https://padlet.com/lips_colleen/Man2021_Lips/wish/353563269 Grapevines in a company are unavoidable, but steering them away from the negative side can greatly benefit the business. As a leader, I send memos and emails all day but we still also have an informal meeting with all our employees every Monday to go over any important business in person. It helps to ensure the information is being passed from direct supervisor to employee so that they can ask any questions directly or air any grievances in an open forum kind of grapevine. ]]> 2019-04-23 23:04:10 UTC https://padlet.com/lips_colleen/Man2021_Lips/wish/353563269 lips_colleen https://padlet.com/lips_colleen/Man2021_Lips/wish/353564271 Not only is this one of my favorite movies, but seeing it broken down in this way just makes it that much better. I have always considered this a great leadership movie, but I never thought of it in the 5 stages of team development. This is a really great motivational movie and now I know how to incorporate this into the business world!]]> 2019-04-23 23:11:50 UTC https://padlet.com/lips_colleen/Man2021_Lips/wish/353564271 lips_colleen https://padlet.com/lips_colleen/Man2021_Lips/wish/353567654 This video truly demonstrates the difference between a leader and a manager. He states at the end 'you manage things, you lead people' and that is really going to stick with me. He went through the history of managers and why we are growing from that to strictly leaders. The speaker noted that we as people don't like to be managed and I think everyone can agree that's true. This video took an in depth look at why leaders are so important. ]]> 2019-04-23 23:37:55 UTC https://padlet.com/lips_colleen/Man2021_Lips/wish/353567654 lips_colleen https://padlet.com/lips_colleen/Man2021_Lips/wish/353568620 The Path-Goal Theory of leadership is the closest to what we have at my company. Our job is completely goal based as we have to complete as many orders as our clients place. It is a monotonous job at times and our employees get stressed out when we are busy. As a team lead, my responsibility is to directly coach and support our processors to help them obtain their goals. We must exhibit all of these types of behavior to properly motivate and help our team succeed.]]> 2019-04-23 23:43:01 UTC https://padlet.com/lips_colleen/Man2021_Lips/wish/353568620 lips_colleen https://padlet.com/lips_colleen/Man2021_Lips/wish/353570467 This is one of my favorite motivational theories. It is basic, but it is true in so many situations. Most people work to get something out of it and we work harder because we think it will benefit us more. A good example used in the video was school, we are not going to study harder if we don't think it will change the outcome of our grade. So in it's most basic principle, we can apply this to many situations in life and in the work place. ]]> 2019-04-23 23:56:45 UTC https://padlet.com/lips_colleen/Man2021_Lips/wish/353570467 lips_colleen https://padlet.com/lips_colleen/Man2021_Lips/wish/353571539 I really enjoy the psychological side of business management and Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs is one that I feel will always hold true. Human's change but human nature does not. This theory states that there are basic needs that every human possesses. This article dove a little deeper than the book and gave additional examples for the modern era. I strive to provide these basic's to my employees and try to teach others these methods as well. ]]> 2019-04-24 00:04:36 UTC https://padlet.com/lips_colleen/Man2021_Lips/wish/353571539 lips_colleen https://padlet.com/lips_colleen/Man2021_Lips/wish/353574717 The job I have now is my first leadership position so it is a whole new world for me. I have to change my entire mindset as I am no longer just an employee, I am a leader. Modifying my learned behavior to grow as a leader has been really difficult. This video took a really good approach to behavior modification by just basically taking it one step at a time. Behavior change doesn't happen at once, but after concentrating on small things, it will happen. ]]> 2019-04-24 00:23:28 UTC https://padlet.com/lips_colleen/Man2021_Lips/wish/353574717 lips_colleen https://padlet.com/lips_colleen/Man2021_Lips/wish/353575908 I liked this article because it builds upon the tips in chapter 17 and gives a few other ways to increase your power as a leader. It adds a more personal touch of what a singular person can do to increase their power like requiring more of yourself and harnessing your influence over others positively. ]]> 2019-04-24 00:30:18 UTC https://padlet.com/lips_colleen/Man2021_Lips/wish/353575908 lips_colleen https://padlet.com/lips_colleen/Man2021_Lips/wish/353579410 This article shows how important transforming data into information is. All jobs are surround by loads of data in which you don't always know what to do with it. A lot of my job is looking at data from processes and procedures and using it to come up with better ways to do everyday tasks. This article shows to only collect useful data and then use analytical tools, like excel, to convert that data into information which you can use to make decisions. ]]> 2019-04-24 00:49:38 UTC https://padlet.com/lips_colleen/Man2021_Lips/wish/353579410 lips_colleen https://padlet.com/lips_colleen/Man2021_Lips/wish/353581880 Improving productivity will always be an ongoing process. My job is a completely production based job so being at the optimum level of productivity is key. This video showed a lot of good ideas on how to be productive like setting to do lists and learning on your own but there were a few things I didn't completely agree with. Our job is based around multitasking so we are required to do that to perform at the highest capacity and this video stated to stop doing that. I couldn't imagine being able to do my job without the use of multitasking. ]]> 2019-04-24 01:03:31 UTC https://padlet.com/lips_colleen/Man2021_Lips/wish/353581880 lips_colleen https://padlet.com/lips_colleen/Man2021_Lips/wish/353584188 This article is a really good look at what happens when you implement the wrong business strategies. From Blockbuster to Holland Sweetner, all of these business made key errors in strategy which cost the greatly. In my life, I worked at a popular bar that had to change locations suddenly so the owner purchased a building on a busy road, but when the business opened, the city just started a 2 year road widening project. This left the parking lot almost unable to be found and in turn destroyed the business and we had to close within a year. If the owner had a better strategy, the business might still be open today.]]> 2019-04-24 01:17:33 UTC https://padlet.com/lips_colleen/Man2021_Lips/wish/353584188 lips_colleen https://padlet.com/lips_colleen/Man2021_Lips/wish/353585661 I am really interested in the financial aspect of business and would like to develop that further. The process of using ratio analysis to see where a business stands based on more than just gross cash earner is fascinating. I enjoyed how this video showed a brief synopsis but also made it really easy to follow. My favorite part of this class was chapter 18 and learning about these and other calculations like the different types break-even analysis.]]> 2019-04-24 01:26:05 UTC https://padlet.com/lips_colleen/Man2021_Lips/wish/353585661
