Team Leader and workers can be its own category making there four levels. ]]> 2022-07-12 21:38:40 UTC https://padlet.com/ashtonabeaver/olw74z9mwm8yb5oi/wish/2242089620 ashtonabeaver https://padlet.com/ashtonabeaver/olw74z9mwm8yb5oi/wish/2242090540 I like this list of core values for a manger or management team to have as goals. I think it would be great for a team leader or manager to focus or highlight one of these values each week or month and have the whole team work on achieving or becoming stronger in that area.]]> 2022-07-12 21:41:21 UTC https://padlet.com/ashtonabeaver/olw74z9mwm8yb5oi/wish/2242090540 ashtonabeaver https://padlet.com/ashtonabeaver/olw74z9mwm8yb5oi/wish/2242094259 I love this article and how it talks about managers discovering what is unique about each employee and using that trait to strengthen the business. It stresses the importance "to identify exactly how each employee is different and then to figure out how best to incorporate those enduring idiosyncrasies into the overall plan." It uses several Walgreens employee examples.]]> 2022-07-12 21:51:56 UTC https://padlet.com/ashtonabeaver/olw74z9mwm8yb5oi/wish/2242094259 ashtonabeaver https://padlet.com/ashtonabeaver/olw74z9mwm8yb5oi/wish/2244283936 The details and step-by-step advice on this poster are very valuable. Important points about CSR are not just listed- they are explained very well.]]> 2022-07-15 19:28:43 UTC https://padlet.com/ashtonabeaver/olw74z9mwm8yb5oi/wish/2244283936 ashtonabeaver https://padlet.com/ashtonabeaver/olw74z9mwm8yb5oi/wish/2244284096 I just think this image is simple but impactful. CSR incorporates people, the planet, and profit. I like how these three subjects work together to make a successful business and a better world. ]]> 2022-07-15 19:29:28 UTC https://padlet.com/ashtonabeaver/olw74z9mwm8yb5oi/wish/2244284096 ashtonabeaver https://padlet.com/ashtonabeaver/olw74z9mwm8yb5oi/wish/2244284755 While diversity can create challenges in the workplace due to different opinions, ideas, or cultures, overall, it is very beneficial and actually brings a broader scope of ideas to the business. I like these Top 10 Diversity Benefits.]]> 2022-07-15 19:32:28 UTC https://padlet.com/ashtonabeaver/olw74z9mwm8yb5oi/wish/2244284755 ashtonabeaver https://padlet.com/ashtonabeaver/olw74z9mwm8yb5oi/wish/2244285273 Positive culture in a workplace keeps employees from leaving and the clients actually feel the positivity. I like how these recommendations create a positive feeling and stress not only communication with the employees, but also physical and mental health initiatives. ]]> 2022-07-15 19:34:38 UTC https://padlet.com/ashtonabeaver/olw74z9mwm8yb5oi/wish/2244285273 ashtonabeaver https://padlet.com/ashtonabeaver/olw74z9mwm8yb5oi/wish/2246387226 I love this image of Global Business showing different countries trading with each other all around the world. Our businesses would be so much more limited if we were not able to trade outside of the United States. ]]> 2022-07-19 20:14:00 UTC https://padlet.com/ashtonabeaver/olw74z9mwm8yb5oi/wish/2246387226 ashtonabeaver https://padlet.com/ashtonabeaver/olw74z9mwm8yb5oi/wish/2246395653 This image shows how global businesses have certain advantages and local businesses have other advantages.

We won't always make good decisions, but if we take our time in making the decision with the proper research and steps, we will have a much better chance of making the right decision for our company. ]]> 2022-07-29 20:53:57 UTC https://padlet.com/ashtonabeaver/olw74z9mwm8yb5oi/wish/2251893103 ashtonabeaver https://padlet.com/ashtonabeaver/olw74z9mwm8yb5oi/wish/2253601859 This article reinforces Module 5 discussing different organizational structures along with the pros and cons of each.

Just as the Grandmother and Grandfather have or had authority and made the major decisions for their children who now are the managers or directors over their own children, the CEO is head of a company over the managers who is over the decision-making for the team leaders and employees.]]> 2022-08-02 19:05:51 UTC https://padlet.com/ashtonabeaver/olw74z9mwm8yb5oi/wish/2253617513 ashtonabeaver https://padlet.com/ashtonabeaver/olw74z9mwm8yb5oi/wish/2257788535 This cartoon makes me laugh. Clearly, there is no leader among these goofballs. They need a leader who inspires, challenges, and encourages them. A leader motivates others to WANT to achieve goals.]]> 2022-08-10 00:33:29 UTC https://padlet.com/ashtonabeaver/olw74z9mwm8yb5oi/wish/2257788535 ashtonabeaver https://padlet.com/ashtonabeaver/olw74z9mwm8yb5oi/wish/2257792066 "Any person willing to trade their labor, knowledge, or time for compensation in an effort to improve the organization is a human resource." This is a great, short article defining the role of HR and emphasizes how the people, the workers, are the actual human resource. I always just though of HR as a department, but it's actually the people who work in the company. ]]> 2022-08-10 00:40:04 UTC https://padlet.com/ashtonabeaver/olw74z9mwm8yb5oi/wish/2257792066 ashtonabeaver https://padlet.com/ashtonabeaver/olw74z9mwm8yb5oi/wish/2257793802 This is a great image describing most of the functions of Human Resources. I would add Safety to the list (workplace safety) and HR compliance (following the policies and procedures), but this list is a great representation of the importance of a Human Resources department in a company.]]> 2022-08-10 00:43:21 UTC https://padlet.com/ashtonabeaver/olw74z9mwm8yb5oi/wish/2257793802 ashtonabeaver https://padlet.com/ashtonabeaver/olw74z9mwm8yb5oi/wish/2258431559 In addition to Module 7, this article sums up some important characteristics a leader must have to be an effective leader.

The ultimate goal of the WTO is to assist exporters, importers, and producers of good and services to successfully conduct their businesses. ]]> 2022-08-19 23:28:31 UTC https://padlet.com/ashtonabeaver/olw74z9mwm8yb5oi/wish/2265915350 ashtonabeaver https://padlet.com/ashtonabeaver/olw74z9mwm8yb5oi/wish/2265921792 Module 8 taught us about performance reports of employees and organizations.
