MAN2021 by Sherron Brown https://padlet.com/shbrown71/y60wrfd8cm1o Graduate with honors! en-us 2018-11-03 00:51:14 UTC 2023-05-18 23:35:24 UTC hello@padlet.com Welcome Week - Module One shbrown71 https://padlet.com/shbrown71/y60wrfd8cm1o/wish/300018770 I love being alive! I am of the Mandinke tribe of long ago and my roots remain strong. When I was younger, I use to be as skinny as sticks. I am a true leader, and I can command the attention of an audience. I have thick skin and at times can have many different styles. I have a lot of bass in my voice when I speak, so that I can be loud at times. There are times when I genuinely feel like a queen on her throne. I can be very challenging to those who want to get to know me better. I am accepting of all people, and I stand for human rights.

I’m really looking forward to finishing this semester, so I can treat myself to a tambourine, and really shake things up!

(What am I? A drummer!)

Steve job speaks about his management method, which I found interesting. He continues to operate his organization as a startup business, which explains his company's success in providing products in constant demand. Successful management consists of hiring quality employees, encourage them to lead, and trust their judgment. ]]> 2018-11-03 17:42:37 UTC https://padlet.com/shbrown71/y60wrfd8cm1o/wish/300090555 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TeZtII7maM shbrown71 https://padlet.com/shbrown71/y60wrfd8cm1o/wish/300100805 Listening to that last words before they die may be a little creepy, but I like hearing it. I think at that very moment you are at your most honest, loving, and forgiving as you'll ever be. It is then that we hear what a persons life lesson was all about and the reality of pain of realizing it that it's to late to do anything about it. It may be a few people who genuinely have ever died in peace.]]> 2018-11-03 19:15:24 UTC https://padlet.com/shbrown71/y60wrfd8cm1o/wish/300100805 The Monkey and the Banana Story shbrown71 https://padlet.com/shbrown71/y60wrfd8cm1o/wish/300106416 The cute little video below is about the effects of management. When I first watched it, I thought it was too long, but after reading additional articles on Steve Jobs, I realize just what he did for Apple, and it's employees, which will have a similar lasting effect as to the monkeys in this video. Even after his death, I believe Apple will remain a leader in technology and challenge his competitors.]]> 2018-11-03 20:09:15 UTC https://padlet.com/shbrown71/y60wrfd8cm1o/wish/300106416 Rod Adkins Retirement Highlights 2014 - Module Two shbrown71 https://padlet.com/shbrown71/y60wrfd8cm1o/wish/300817448 I wanted to share this video to view in contrast to the personality and managerial style to that of Steve Jobs. I don't think Adkins will regret living life to the fullest. This video was fun to watch and a reminder to work hard towards your goals, make a difference, and remember to enjoy the ride along the way!]]> 2018-11-06 04:34:01 UTC https://padlet.com/shbrown71/y60wrfd8cm1o/wish/300817448 Change is a scary thing! shbrown71 https://padlet.com/shbrown71/y60wrfd8cm1o/wish/302490637 Especially in the workplace. When I bought my first home two years ago, and I was so excited. I could do whatever I wanted in my new home. I could paint the wall neon green if I wanted, play my drums as loud as I wanted, and I could entertain as long as I wanted. I was proud to be a new homeowner, but then rumors starting circulating within my organization about possible layoffs. Shortly after that, the organization conducted layoffs. Fortunately, my department was a central part of the organization, and we remained. I dealt with so many emotions during that period of transition, and I was grateful for it. It taught me to invest in my education, take advantage of the various company training to improve my skills and continue to save for a rainy day because you never know. ]]> 2018-11-09 10:30:19 UTC https://padlet.com/shbrown71/y60wrfd8cm1o/wish/302490637 Ethics at the office - Fan Post! shbrown71 https://padlet.com/shbrown71/y60wrfd8cm1o/wish/304119835 Superfan here! How many of us would survive a day at "the office"? I loved binge watching this show once I discovered it on Netflix. I loved this episode in particular because the character Meredith admitted to her co-workers in a ethics seminar hosted by Human Resources to sleeping with a certain salesperson to get a discount on supplies and coupons for Outback Steakhouse. The Human Resource specialist states that Meredith's actions are serious, a conflict of interest, and an exchange of goods. Or steak as Meredith reminds us. Spoiler alert. The company decides to ignore her confession, so then they can continue to get a discount for their supplies. In the real world, Meredith would have been fired, and the salesman would have been fired money and time invested in new ethics training, and a possible lawsuit filed against the salesman as a result of her actions. I would have loved to work at "the office."

If you're a business major, you should check out "the office' and thank your lucky stars for the people you work with.]]> 2018-11-14 03:33:09 UTC https://padlet.com/shbrown71/y60wrfd8cm1o/wish/304119835 Video on Good Corporate Governance shbrown71 https://padlet.com/shbrown71/y60wrfd8cm1o/wish/304124592 This video is fantastic and provides the viewer with a quick blueprint on how a company should work for it run effectively and prosperously. The only thing that could ruin this model is human beings themselves. ]]> 2018-11-14 04:02:27 UTC https://padlet.com/shbrown71/y60wrfd8cm1o/wish/304124592 As easy as 1, 2 , and 3! - Module Three shbrown71 https://padlet.com/shbrown71/y60wrfd8cm1o/wish/305501373 In the spirit of "Thanksgiving," I want to remember the business transaction between the Pilgrims and Native American. According to chapter five and this video the Pilgrims had no understanding for the Native's culture, they had a motive when establishing trust with the Natives, and the impact they had on the Natives and America was devastating. Imagine if the Colonizers, I mean Pilgrims came in peace. What would America look like now? ]]> 2018-11-17 04:20:58 UTC https://padlet.com/shbrown71/y60wrfd8cm1o/wish/305501373 Risks Faced by Multinational Companies and Rule of Law Issues shbrown71 https://padlet.com/shbrown71/y60wrfd8cm1o/wish/305549293 I can see why this company exist. There is too much for a company to lose if they are not informed of verbal and non-verbal communication cues that could potentially effect your company's business relations.]]> 2018-11-17 15:26:31 UTC https://padlet.com/shbrown71/y60wrfd8cm1o/wish/305549293 Managing Multinational shbrown71 https://padlet.com/shbrown71/y60wrfd8cm1o/wish/305550020 This sum it all up. To manage within global organizations mean learning about, respecting, appreciating, and welcoming another's culture to conduct business. I remember when I took an African American History class, and I asked the professor, who was from Niger if they had a McDonald's. He looked at me puzzled and said, "Of course!" McDonald's has taken every opportunity to open up as many restaurants around the world where they are accepted culturally. ]]> 2018-11-17 15:32:51 UTC https://padlet.com/shbrown71/y60wrfd8cm1o/wish/305550020 Diversity in Comics Makes Bigots Mad shbrown71 https://padlet.com/shbrown71/y60wrfd8cm1o/wish/305711050 Resistance is what happens when an organization embraces diversity and how a specific demographics who supported this culture faithfully for years reject it. Comic books don't discriminate against who buys them, but it does limit the diversity of characters portrayed in them. With the success of movies like the Black Panther character originally a comic books character inspired by Malcolm X, is turning off a specific demographic who do not appreciate this culture change. You win some and lose some. ]]> 2018-11-18 20:39:59 UTC https://padlet.com/shbrown71/y60wrfd8cm1o/wish/305711050 Quality Service & Management - Module four shbrown71 https://padlet.com/shbrown71/y60wrfd8cm1o/wish/307126376 2018-11-22 22:22:01 UTC https://padlet.com/shbrown71/y60wrfd8cm1o/wish/307126376 Bill Burr destroyed Steve Jobs shbrown71 https://padlet.com/shbrown71/y60wrfd8cm1o/wish/307558102 Who really gets credit for the hard work you do at work.

It takes confidence. If an organization make the wrong decision the company stands to lose everything. It's important to recognize what's at stake. Management needs to have the knowledge, skills, and ability to make effective decision making.]]> 2018-11-25 20:27:08 UTC https://padlet.com/shbrown71/y60wrfd8cm1o/wish/307559949 Strategic Planning shbrown71 https://padlet.com/shbrown71/y60wrfd8cm1o/wish/307562383 You must have a plenty of patients and a large sense of humor when it comes to work. ]]> 2018-11-25 20:44:32 UTC https://padlet.com/shbrown71/y60wrfd8cm1o/wish/307562383 That's the truth! shbrown71 https://padlet.com/shbrown71/y60wrfd8cm1o/wish/307563363 I had a boss that approached the team with her "visions" for the department, which meant we were left to figure out how to make her "visions" a reality. She was so excited about the upcoming projects without doing any of the work. She also volunteered the department up for company fundraisers and receive all the credit. If we made a mistake, she could blame us and claim we didn't comprehend her "vision." ]]> 2018-11-25 20:51:42 UTC https://padlet.com/shbrown71/y60wrfd8cm1o/wish/307563363 Fundamentals of Organizing - Module Five shbrown71 https://padlet.com/shbrown71/y60wrfd8cm1o/wish/309246193 “If you pick the right people and give them the opportunity to spread their wings—and put compensation as a carrier behind it—you almost don’t have to manage them.” – Jack Welch

After reading this article I realized managing people is just hard work! You're managing personalities. or shall I say controlling people at work to do the things you need them to do. Being a manager is like being a master manipulator.

In the beginning of my experience as a new parent, I found that most of the responsibility was on me. I slowly began delegating some of the daily duties with my children's father after realizing that I was doing too much on my own. When the children got older, I got wiser and started delegating lite responsibilities to them to help me. As a family, we are a team, and we all have our parts to play.]]> 2018-11-29 13:11:48 UTC https://padlet.com/shbrown71/y60wrfd8cm1o/wish/309251156 Something is wrong here... shbrown71 https://padlet.com/shbrown71/y60wrfd8cm1o/wish/309258477 As I searched the web for articles on this subject, I noticed that the images shared had a common theme. The manager image is males, while the subordinate are females. Look at this picture and the body language of the individuals in the picture. ]]> 2018-11-29 13:27:30 UTC https://padlet.com/shbrown71/y60wrfd8cm1o/wish/309258477 Who told you that? You're not my boss. shbrown71 https://padlet.com/shbrown71/y60wrfd8cm1o/wish/309261944 My fearless leaders decided to remove the student computers out of the lab and place those computers out front and in back of our work area. One of my co-workers walked by and informed the group to direct students to use the computers in the front. As my co-worker began walking away, I asked her, "Who told you that?". She replied in annoyance and named the person. She took responsibility to relay a message, but she forgot to mention who the original messenger was. The problem with that incident was the original messenger didn't know that the computers in the front had a different function than those in the back. So, the person who has the authority to make decisions knew nothing about her own project and was carelessly giving wrong directions.

I once asked a millionaire how he created his success, and he told me to KISS it! He could see that I was confused by his statement and he was quick to explain himself. He said that if I wanted to succeed, I needed to know how to take care of my employees who will do the work for me and to "Keep It Simple Stupid!". It's a formula that seems to have worked for Steve Jobs and the success he created at Apple. Well, with one exception, he didn't take care of the emotional well being of his employees.]]> 2018-12-01 19:31:36 UTC https://padlet.com/shbrown71/y60wrfd8cm1o/wish/310092230 Organizational Efficiency.

I was being bullied and racially discriminated. Once I submitted my claim, it was me against the company, but I wasn’t aware of that. The organization conducts an employee bullying prevention course. However, they did not follow their suggestions per the class. The organization recommended that I seek counseling and my supervisor attend management training. In other words, deal with it. Notice where the author positioned grievances at the end of this video. ]]> 2018-12-02 04:08:34 UTC https://padlet.com/shbrown71/y60wrfd8cm1o/wish/310123050 Leadership and Motivation - Module Seven shbrown71 https://padlet.com/shbrown71/y60wrfd8cm1o/wish/313234458 Check out this great clip!

I feel like I can approach my boss when I know they're in a good mood. I love it when my boss takes a couple of minutes in the day to come and talk with the team about the funny things that happen at work and home. We spend so much time together during the week, so it's only natural to take time for us to get to know one another and keep our culture stress free at work.]]> 2018-12-11 02:52:24 UTC https://padlet.com/shbrown71/y60wrfd8cm1o/wish/313239954 The Flintstones Wacky Inventions - Module Eight shbrown71 https://padlet.com/shbrown71/y60wrfd8cm1o/wish/313242686 The Flintstones was one of my favorite cartoons that I use to watch when I was younger. I use to laugh at their inventions and the technology they used in the show. I was too young to understand inventions or technology, but I assumed that they weren't poor. They had everything! Check out the clip below and enjoy!]]> 2018-12-11 03:10:32 UTC https://padlet.com/shbrown71/y60wrfd8cm1o/wish/313242686 7 Technology From "The Jetsons" That Actually Exist Today shbrown71 https://padlet.com/shbrown71/y60wrfd8cm1o/wish/315015457 I can't help but think the Jetsons inspired boys and girls all over the world to grow up and try to make some of The Jetsons inventions a reality.

I always feel guilty when I need to speak with my manager and ask for anything. He looks like he wants to scream, "please just go away." He's a fantastic manager, and because of the type of service my organization provides, he is always solving customer issues. I don't feel too bad though, and he is paid handsomely for the work he does. You need knowledge, skills, and ability to manage an organization successfully.]]> 2018-12-16 21:37:21 UTC https://padlet.com/shbrown71/y60wrfd8cm1o/wish/315016359 Role of Information System In Business shbrown71 https://padlet.com/shbrown71/y60wrfd8cm1o/wish/315017882 There is so much to consider if you want to start a business.
