Brandie J- Management Summer 2014 by Brandie Jenkins https://padlet.com/brandiej66/l6i76mvwx373 en-us 2014-06-02 13:10:51 UTC 2026-03-16 13:46:15 UTC hello@padlet.com It is important to remember that as a manager I am responsibly for meeting corporate goals . Chpt 1 brandiej66 https://padlet.com/brandiej66/l6i76mvwx373/wish/30203345 2014-06-27 16:53:50 UTC https://padlet.com/brandiej66/l6i76mvwx373/wish/30203345 Women have a different role in corporate America given that typically they are responsible not only to their jobs, but also all the responsibilities at home.  Over the last few years, however, women have became more predominant in manager roles - Chpt 1.  I am currently in a management position and find it a struggle being a woman to gain "pull" within the corporation.  Good to know that the tides may be changing. brandiej66 https://padlet.com/brandiej66/l6i76mvwx373/wish/30203538 2014-06-27 17:00:12 UTC https://padlet.com/brandiej66/l6i76mvwx373/wish/30203538 While being one of the most talented, great minded innovators in the world, Steve Jobs lacked managerial people skills.  It is important that we realize that the people part of a job is just as important as the job itself. brandiej66 https://padlet.com/brandiej66/l6i76mvwx373/wish/30203661 2014-06-27 17:06:21 UTC https://padlet.com/brandiej66/l6i76mvwx373/wish/30203661 Women are becoming more prevalent in corporate America these days.  These women have lead the way for women like myself who aspire to be more than a paper pusher.  Thank you to the women who have gone before.  brandiej66 https://padlet.com/brandiej66/l6i76mvwx373/wish/30203707 2014-06-27 17:08:10 UTC https://padlet.com/brandiej66/l6i76mvwx373/wish/30203707 I didn't realize how valuable cultural diversity was within the workplace.  Different perspectives on projects and processes can be acquired from people of different cultural backgrounds.  It can play a key role in the success of a department and company. brandiej66 https://padlet.com/brandiej66/l6i76mvwx373/wish/30203764 2014-06-27 17:10:05 UTC https://padlet.com/brandiej66/l6i76mvwx373/wish/30203764 The respect of the employee and community outreach played a key role in Marriott's success over the years.  This was a true story of hard work.  This one was an inspiration to me as I love to hear success stories of people who basically started out with nothing. brandiej66 https://padlet.com/brandiej66/l6i76mvwx373/wish/30203796 2014-06-27 17:12:24 UTC https://padlet.com/brandiej66/l6i76mvwx373/wish/30203796 The demise of former Hewlitt Packard CEO made me realize one very important thing.  Despite the power that you may think you have, you must rely on your coworkers as well. Their thoughts and opinions are just as important as yours.  Ask.  brandiej66 https://padlet.com/brandiej66/l6i76mvwx373/wish/30203899 2014-06-27 17:15:00 UTC https://padlet.com/brandiej66/l6i76mvwx373/wish/30203899 The debacle that was the Toyota recall/lawsuits showed me one thing......quality assurance.  I do not currently work in a production industry, but if life ever takes me there I know that quality assurance should be at the top of every company's list of importance.  It can end up costing millions of dollars.  brandiej66 https://padlet.com/brandiej66/l6i76mvwx373/wish/30203941 2014-06-27 17:16:51 UTC https://padlet.com/brandiej66/l6i76mvwx373/wish/30203941 Corporate headhunters are becoming a thing of the past.  Companies have found it to be more cost effective to hire recruiters rather than paying the extreme high prices headhunters charge to find quality employees. brandiej66 https://padlet.com/brandiej66/l6i76mvwx373/wish/30203988 2014-06-27 17:19:24 UTC https://padlet.com/brandiej66/l6i76mvwx373/wish/30203988 As a social responsibility companies should partake in philanthropy were possible.  I am fortunate in that the company that I work for is very much involved in the United Way.  I have always participated in giving, but I will continue as a responsibility to my community brandiej66 https://padlet.com/brandiej66/l6i76mvwx373/wish/30205881 2014-06-27 19:13:33 UTC https://padlet.com/brandiej66/l6i76mvwx373/wish/30205881 I need to think more about how to enforce my company's code of ethics.  It is very important so that we are all on the same page in our actions and decisions brandiej66 https://padlet.com/brandiej66/l6i76mvwx373/wish/30205920 2014-06-27 19:15:40 UTC https://padlet.com/brandiej66/l6i76mvwx373/wish/30205920 Enterprise Rent-a-Car has an interesting take on promoting within.  I actually will mention this to my manager during my annual review in January and will site their theory as a basis to promoting/training within our department. brandiej66 https://padlet.com/brandiej66/l6i76mvwx373/wish/30220764 2014-06-28 22:14:21 UTC https://padlet.com/brandiej66/l6i76mvwx373/wish/30220764
