...Management Behavior Memo Memorandum To: Sales Supervisory Staff Subject: Management Behavior The news is out InterClean has now acquired EnviroTech one of our closest competitors in this market. This exciting news will help propel us as a company to the top. It will also help us achieve the transition to a solutions-based company with a full range of products and services with the ability to meet any cleaning needs. This is the start of a new and exciting chapter in our company’s future. We will be welcoming many new employees in the coming months so I have decided this would be a good time to discuss how we as managers and supervisors can help in making all of our employees as productive and comfortable as possible. I also think it would be prudent to discuss employment laws as they relate to our company. Our workforce is about to become much more diverse. This is an exciting prospect but we should discuss this to make sure we all understand what is appropriate in such an atmosphere. As supervisors it your job to help create an environment in which employees feel needed, motivated and satisfied with the job they are doing. I have always believed that the best way to motivate employees is to be motivated your self. You will be surprised how much this works. Another way to keep employees motivated is to create an atmosphere in which people are empowered and feel they are part of something important. Help them to realize their potential let them know that the company...

...will be very applicable in other classes and in the professional world. One of the major writing-related knowledge I have developed through this course is my approach to writing, more specifically how I design the text. Prior to the course, if I was given a writing assignment, I simply organized the information based on how I perceived it would be best organized rather than how it would be perceived by the reader. Now, before even starting to write the assignment, I think to myself whom is this paper intended for and then cater my writing to that particular audience or reader. The assignment on the Reader Expectation Theory served as a pivotal moment in my development of this skill. Over the course of the semester, I have begun to apply the theory to many other writing assignments. For example, when constructing the Memo, it was crucial to organize and write the memo in a format that...

...responsibilities upon me. One of the main challenges was the bulletin since I had to start it on Monday and submit it for printing on Wednesday. It was a duty I had every week. Serving several purposes, it consisted of sections made up of short paragraphs for each topic, announcement, upcoming activities, and prayer list. Occasionally, I had to submit letters within the bulletin for the parishioners of a detailed message I wanted to portray. The bulletin provided communion between the church and the parishioners. It was also an important way to present the church to new visitors. That is why making the bulletin required several steps that were necessary to help me along the composing process. My writing process started by gathering all letters, memos, announcements, and scheduled appointments for that week. By doing so I gathered information that I would later use to compose my work. I discussed with the pastor and wrote down everything he wanted to make reference to in the bulletin. These notes usually gave me a foundation to know how and where I should begin. The bulletin was done in a chronological order. This made it easier for me to organize my topics and themes according to upcoming events. Each topic was covered briefly and in simple paragraphs. On the back of the bulletin I provided a full page of Reflection. My writings varied depending on the season and feasts of the church and often included a scripture. This was a way that would prepare the parishioners and help them...

...ETM 500 İletişim Presentation of Ertuğrul Koç Yiğit Ömer Altıntaş 2013712330 Communication and Writing Skills For many years, in the masses of people there has been made a stereotype of the working engineer. This is a person who spends ten hours straight in front of his computer, making some strange graphs and calculations. He is afraid of sunlight and spends his free time inventing the time machine. When people try to start a conversation he says that he has a lot of work to do and tries to run away as fast as possible. This picture may be a little exaggerated, but it is how media and television draw it. But today, engineers need communication and writing skills even more than actual engineering. Any engineering career starts from the resume writing. Usually a resume consists of two parts: the list of things that you have done well in your life and the cover letter. Dr. Craig Gunn, a professor of mechanical engineering, clearly explains, “Many big companies do not require the cover letter, but it will be much better for you to write one, because if a manager will read it for some reason, your chances to get a job will be a lot higher.” A person that is going to give you a job will not see you directly, so you have to convince him or her not to throw your resume in the basket by presenting all of your best qualities in the resume...

...writing. In fact, the three universities that I have attended in the past have all required me to use the APA style of writing. As I recall my high school years, the APA style of writing also seemed to be a favorite amongst my high school teachers. They all required that term papers be written in APA style as well. This type of writing actually does not differ much from the ones included in the text reading. The text mentioned the APA style of writing several times. In my opinion, it appears to be the most popular style of writing, especially amongst college students. Based on the results of the quizzes, my grammar skills were actually a little better than average. I actually had expected to do better, but I guess my grammar skills are not as good as I thought they were. In any event I feel very confident when it comes to spelling, as I have always been a great speller. Even in grade school, I was a good speller. I learned at a very young age to challenge myself when it comes to spelling. Challenging my-self in that area really paid off as I became older, as I’ve never had a problem with spelling. However, I feel that I need more help with run on sentences and with thought patterns. Though I proof read my paper several times, it’s hard for me to see that I have several run on sentences until after I get my grade back. In general, I feel that my writing is just mediocre. However, I also believe that when it comes to writing, I am my own worst critic. Reason being, I am never...
