I grew up training horses, and it was neat to see how the trainers attitude was reflected in the performance of the horse. Very interesting article and eye opening how our pets can pick up on our attitude and feelings so easily. ]]> 2021-05-26 02:33:08 UTC https://padlet.com/suke123/r682o8ia4k0ffzcc/wish/1559982423 https://padlet.com/suke123/r682o8ia4k0ffzcc/wish/1560057487 I feel this relates to the material covered this week because although we all have different personalities, we all can make the effort to be extra kind! Especially with all the chaos that COVID-19 has brought, going the extra mile to be kind makes a huge difference in the workplace.

Forbes suggests using a team charter to have the best possible communication with virtual meetings. This relates very well with COVID causing many work places to change to remote working. I think that this article might have been more effective if it came out more towards the beginning of the pandemic as opposed to a year after the pandemic hit the United States. Overall, I think this is a beneficial article because it is what we are starting to introduce in this class and it allows a good ice breaking assignments for all groups that are made up of strangers.

It is scary to think that not only can you feel burned out for your own personal reasons but your co-workers struggling at work with burnout can also pass it on to you! This is a good article worth reading. -Cinthia Espinoza]]> 2021-06-02 03:22:02 UTC https://padlet.com/suke123/r682o8ia4k0ffzcc/wish/1578359950 https://padlet.com/suke123/r682o8ia4k0ffzcc/wish/1580540392 8 Reasons to Consider a Team Charter
Team charters have a number of benefits, including increased productivity, helping people become more equipped to be successful and serving as a team checklist.  They hold everyone accountable and encourage togetherness.

With almost every company being shut down due to the pandemic, there are now more people looking for jobs than ever before that are straight from college. There are many job seekers stating their frustration with companies that are focusing on the gap in employment rather than their actual ability to do the job, their social skills, or their ambition. As a student that is going to be done with college in the next few years, I am making sure I do everything I can to address this shift in thinking, hoping people will go back to focusing on the individual's fit for the job rather than their lack of work within the last year or so.

I do think that have the power of information is a very helpful thing when trying to run a business because it gives you an advantage. Like the article says, knowing about different advances early and being persuasive enough to implement these new actions really will benefit a company. The risk-taking aspect of this really related to the reading from this week and how as leaders with power we are more likely to take risks. I believe this article proves that statement.

This article does point out that Maslow's Hierarchy may not be all-inclusive though because different cultures have different views on which basic needs are most important.

It provides a slightly different perspective on this practice than the textbook. One thing that I find very informational is that it provides tips as to how to accomplish each different step of the goal making process.

A person with a fixed mindset will avoid any challenges and give up when faced with obstacles, a growth mindset likes to develop new skills and knowledge. This articles gives great information on how to develop a growth mindset in the work place.

Success comes from: candid observations, there are a variety of respondents, and there is follow-up for accountability.

With being able to have remote learning access by many different people, it allows smaller companies to expand to greater extents. It also helps larger corporations that have locations all over the world be able to communicate easier than traveling to face-to-face meetings.

For me the biggest take-aways are to delegate when I can, and not to be afraid to ask for help.  Those two things have always been a struggle.  I hate asking for help when I know I will get to the task "eventually".  Another suggestion they have is to pick a hobby.  It settles the mind and gives a much needed break.

The unknown can be scary and lead to employee resistance.  Fear of change is especially true from staff members when there isn't clear directives on why the changes or occurring or if management hasn't built a solid foundation of trust within the team.
