Nobody had the authority to buy a new horse when one broke a leg, so the entire factory had to be shut down. This led Fayol to develop organization along the lines of management.]]> 2022-05-16 02:19:24 UTC https://padlet.com/s3512302/Bookmarks/wish/2184996347 s3512302 https://padlet.com/s3512302/Bookmarks/wish/2185009082 Robert Katz published academic theses on management theory.

Rural people gain work training and education through good CSR programs and the threat of terrorism decreases. People have less incentive to engage in violent, hateful activities when they can learn to enrich their lives.

Overemphasizing globalization reduces the perceived necessity to increase globalization efforts. Ghemawat wrote an article criticizing Friedman's book with little data, and Friedman responded by calling his findings narrow. Friedman's own book cites no data at all!]]> 2022-05-27 01:28:33 UTC https://padlet.com/s3512302/Bookmarks/wish/2201557890 s3512302 https://padlet.com/s3512302/Bookmarks/wish/2209659712 Peter Drucker advises creating policies, rules, or principles for solutions that are generic to handle them pragmatically. Exceptional solutions must be handled individually, since they cannot be predicted. Drucker also advises outlining specifications that must be met as a result of the decision to be made.

Too much fluff is a waste of time. Some other points I'd like to remember are to avoid being too personal with coworkers, refrain from gossip, and handle conflicts immediately. We need to communicate because some people are so neurotic that a small misunderstanding can manifest into a year long existential crisis. 
This is especially something that I need to tackle because I'm gullible and when people say things about me I believe them, while I don't believe myself. I think if I question people as soon as I hear something contradictory to what I believe, then I can understand where they're coming from better instead of creating a narrative that doesn't exist in my head.]]> 2022-06-15 15:45:22 UTC https://padlet.com/s3512302/Bookmarks/wish/2222116488 s3512302 https://padlet.com/s3512302/Bookmarks/wish/2222136708 Using ums and likes has a stigma that the speaker has bad communication skills, but there have been studies that prove that a word spoken after an "um" is more memorable than the word spoken alone.
