On one hand she can loose her job and jeopardize her future goals in becoming a student manager, in the other hand she can keep quiet and allow his coworkers continuing stealing from the snack bar. Her coworkers are dishonest; students are allow to get food while they are working but they are taking large amount of food when there shifts are over, which is not allowed, and they are also allowing their friends to do the same. Her job has a poor management team, managers do not do a good training, they are inexperience and do not pay attention of what is happening in the snack bar. There is lacks of rules and discipline, employee do what they want and management does not supervise them well. Management team has the responsibility of guide the employees and if there is a problem they are in charge of solving that problem and keep the company going. Since there is a weak management team, employees are not scared of loosing their job and they continue working in the same unethical behavior. There is a culture of indifference, if employees get caught management does not do anything, students managers allow their friends to take free food, and employee take money from cash register. Those actions are not a threat for them since management give the bad example on the first place. It influenced her perceptions and behavior, is hard for her to work in...

...Name____________ Time Management Stage one: Knowledge Time management - the analysis of how working hours are spent and the prioritization of tasks in order to maximize personal efficiency in the workplace Procrastination The discipline of time management is an important skill that needs to be learned early on. One of the biggest obstacles to overcome is procrastination. Procrastination is the problem of putting things off. We all seem to procrastinate on certain levels by making up excuses not to do something. The bad thing is that procrastination can be displayed in an every day lifestyle, which can effect us in achieving our goals. Procrastination can be the reason behind our failures Proverbs 10: 4 - 5 “Lazy hands make a man poor, but diligent hands bring wealth. He who gathers crops in summer is a wise son, but he who sleeps during harvest is a disgraceful son.” This verse contrasts being lazy with hard work. We need to live our lives for God by not being lazy but by working hard to serve Him. An unproductive lifestyle comes from procrastination Procrastination can lead to a bad lifestyle. It can result in getting bad grades, not showing your best work, and being unproductive. It is important to avoid making excuses and as you head towards your goal, you should pray that God gives you the persistence to achieve it without getting lazy. Underlying problems can be revealed by procrastination If we continue putting things off it can mean we...

...else for something you have done. In school, this means doing your own work, turning in assignments on time and working successfully with team members on team assignments. Personal responsibility and college success go hand in hand because it’s up to us as students to do what is necessary to succeed in school. Practicing self-discipline For anyone that has ever served in the military, you would know from personal experience that you are taught self-discipline from day one. One main thing that you learn is that you should always do what’s right legally and morally regardless if someone is watching or not. That’s what self-discipline truly is. When you have self-discipline, you know how to make a plan to succeed at whatever you plan on doing. If you have a plan, there’s usually no way that something could go wrong. Setting short and long term goals give you something to look forward to and push you to do your absolute best to achieve them. Time Management Skills Time management skills are extremely important in college as well as in life. In college, we use time management to get meet deadlines and complete tasks on time. That’s why it’s always good to set aside a time frame to do the things that you have to do. Take college assignments for instance, setting aside a time frame gives you the opportunity to do your assignments without being disturbed. Always try to set goals for yourself for completing your assignments. When you do all of these things, time management isn’t that...

...that it would fall in the median level compared to others. I don’t see myself as using or wanting much power at my job. I don’t see that power is manifested much while I am working, but I do see it manifested in other things outside of my job. I currently dislike my job and have no desire to be a part of the company; therefore, power is not anything that is manifested through my job. While I am working, I am more of a laid back person and I don’t feel the need to contribute any ideas. When I am working with others, I try to ensure that we are all at the same level, making others feel welcome and not make others feel as if they are inferior. When working with my peers, I try to establish equality. On the other hand, when dealing with management, I tend to exercise my own power in that aspect. Unfortunately, I am working for a company that demonstrates bad management practices. Management at my job tends to try and intimidate others, and most staff members are afraid to speak up and are very timid. I was like that when I first started, but I realized how my company operates. The management team likes to exercise power, control and authority over all the staff members. They take advantage of those that don’t speak up. For the employees that do speak up, the management tends to test them...

...Perhaps the greatest single problem that people have today is “time poverty.” Working people have too much to do and too little time for their personal lives. Most people feel overwhelmed with responsibilities and activities, and the harder they work, the further behind they feel. This sense of being on a never-ending treadmill can cause you to fall into the reactive/responsive mode of living. Instead of clearly deciding what you want to do, you continually react to what is happening around you. Pretty soon you lose all sense of control. You feel that your life is running you, rather than you running your life. On a regular basis, you have to stand back and take stock of yourself and what you’re doing. You have to stop the clock and do some serious thinking about who you are and where you are going. You have to evaluate your activities in the light of what is really important to you. You must master your time rather than becoming a slave to the constant flow of events and demands on your time. And you must organize your life to achieve balance, harmony, and inner peace. Taking action without thinking is the cause of every failure. Your ability to think is the most valuable trait that you possess. If you improve the quality of your thinking, you improve the quality of your life, sometimes immediately. Time is your most precious resource. It is the most valuable thing you have. It is perishable, it is irreplaceable, and it cannot be saved. It can only be reallocated from activities...

Well I am here to let you know how stress is formed and the disadvantages of stress. I will inform you on how you can manage your stress and keep yourself healthy. Stress is the response of the body to the demands of daily living. Think about the demands you have on your everyday living. There are sources or causes which are called stressors that give demands that cause changes in the body. A stressor can be physical, mental, emotional, social, and even environmental. Stressor responses can be negative or positive. The positive stressor is Eustress, this is a healthy response. Eustress only means that you are not hurting yourself but being active and getting and adequate amount of sleep when you are trying to accomplish something. Distress is the negative response; it is harmful and produces negative results when you are trying to accomplish a goal. There are three stages of stress. The General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS), which is a series of changes that occur in the body when stress occurs. The first stage is the alarm stage of GAS in which the body gets ready for action. During this stage adrenaline starts to rush, in which the hormones that help your body get ready for emergency.

Lonnie Pacelli: I have over 20 years of experience, which I gained while managing projects at both Accenture and Microsoft.

...a good vision and strategic in management. He knew that values are very important in management. It is not about only about achieving goal through people but also about how people and organization has good values. He is a risk taker and creative thinker; he changed the system in organization so that he can control the performance of every division easily. He was respected because he had respected people first. From the text we know that he was not only demanding, but he was a good listener too. As a good listener, I’m sure that George David has always tried to listen to his employee’s story and feeling. It makes people really respected him. He also respected anyone who worked hard as what Sandy Weill said “when somebody can’t do the job, he’ll try to help; but if that person is not going to make it work, that person won’t be on the job forever and with all over George is not only had managing skill but also good on character. 2. How does George David get things done through people? I think in this case there are 2 objects, ‘the things’ and ‘the people’. To make something done through people, he must have ‘the things’, a goal, what the organization want to do, something clear and realistic. Even a great manager and employee can’t take that all if the goal is not clear and absurd. Another one is he must do something properly with ‘the people’. George David has done it very well; he was placing right man in the right place. The last, something that is really important is the...

...word project management what is the first thing that come to mind. Would it be the guy you see with a hard hat and a clipboard on site? Or would it be the person that sits behind a desk and employees coming to ask what to do next? Being in project management doesn’t have a certain look. In the world of project management there are so many opportunities that you can explore, and it isn’t limited to a certain industry. Some people get project management experience through their employer and apply it to school. Some people decide to go straight into school with project management being their degree of choice. If I had to choice which field of project management I wanted to purse the profession I would want to be in project scheduling. In project scheduling your main focus is the development and maintenance of the project schedule and elements on the schedule closely relate to the work breakdown structure (WBS). This position can be a team effort or can be just an individual, depending on the size of the project. The schedule is mainly an estimate and the project scheduler has to update it constantly. The estimation of completion value has to equal to the baseline value. One of the biggest concern of any project scheduler are the team members. Everyone has a life and unexpected events that happen to everyone in life. As the scheduler effort has to be placed into the employees when the schedule is formed. I chose this profession because I having a schedule is something that I have...

Project Management is so much more complex than one would initially think, but with clear understanding of what the job truly is, it is far more fascinating at each and every intricacy that really is involved in running a successful project from start to finish. Over the course of my professional years, I have found myself falling into this role more and more. I am naturally a very thorough and detailed person so much of what project management entails I applied to my everyday work, and for a long time never realize what I was doing was really Project Management. Along with that, my current position as a Production Manager carries a great deal of Project Management responsibilities; the two positions are very much one in the same so I am able to implement what I know of Project Management currently and what I am in the process of learning and apply it to my everyday work experience; no better way to learn than to actually do it. As I have learned about the process of Project Management, I have learned just how thorough and strategic every step needs to be; the very careful planning that must go into an entire scope of work, the steps involved at each level, the stakeholders that make the project happen in the first place, the transparent communication...

...resistance is. I will use Kraft as an example of complete resistance due to lack of commitment from management. When people are asked to change there is resistance, which is a natural reaction because change is uncomfortable and requires new and different types of thinking and operating. Most people would rather stick to the known instead of reaching out and taking a risk with the unknown, even if the known has proven not to work or is detrimental to the health of the organization (Heathfield). In Kraft there is a resistance to change from the management side of the equation, most employees there are all for a change, there just in not a consensus on what change is needed, in most employees eyes it is the management team, or more precisely the plant manager that needs to be changed. It is a normal reaction to be resistant to change; even employees that are cooperative may experience resistance just because that is part of human nature. When implementing change it needs to be communicated in such a way that everyone in the organization is aware that you support and are behind the change 100%, by using this approach you will get more people to buy into the concept and be willing to be supportive of the changes, if your organization believes that you do not believe in the change or back the change, there will be few in the organization that will support it. In Lewins’ change management...

...to tackle numerous difficult problems starting the moment she assumed office. For example, she had to help hire a new management team. She had to do something about what the outside world viewed as a culture of questionable ethics at her company. And she had to do something about the company’s top management compensation plan, which many felt contributed to the allegations by some that the company’s former CEO had used the company as a sort of private ATM. Siegel came to Tyco after a very impressive career. For example, she had been head of executive compensation at Allied Signal, and was a graduate of the Harvard Business School. But, as strong as her background was, she obviously had her work cut out for her when she took the senior vice president of HR position at Tyco. Working in groups, use your mobile phones to conduct an Internet search to answer the following questions: What human resource management-related steps did Siegel take to help get Tyco back on the right track? Do you think she took the appropriate steps? Why or why not? What, if anything do you suggest she do now? Discussion Questions 1. Explain what HR management is and how it relates to the management process. 2. Give examples of how HR management concepts and techniques can be of use to all managers. 3.
