THE POEM TO END IT ALL



Management can make you and management can break you
Turn a boy into a man, or a girl into a woman with an Iron hand
It helps you discover yourself, and learn about everybody else
Forces you to make a decision in a moment’s notice
Make the right one, and the office on the top floor is within your focus
Say the wrong thing to your assistant
And If her name isn’t Monica, you’re out of luck in an instant
You need an open mind with a heart full sole
But manage yourself differently in every role
Autocratic, democratic, or laissez faire
Nothing will ever be evidently clear
Management will give you experiences in life
Some probably harder to deal with than having 2 wife’s
A woman is lazy and wants to start work at one
Do you accept or decline?
Or ask Kurpis, the mighty divine
Management is difficult to conquer and learn
But once you do, the victory will be mighty earned.

its 2011 ppl : BLOG!

I have not had a class where I got the chance to blog; being able to express my opinion about the various things going on in our class and our world. I believe that it is a great idea and that it is an extremely easy way to allow yourself to earn 20% of your grade. The problem was that many people did not manage it properly, with the blogs going to end up hurting them rather than helping them out.It was really fun, discussing our activities that we did and writing our opinion about our class. The blog gave a chance for people to get to know one another in the class, learn from one another, and see how different people really think. This is great practice for us as managers in the real world because we will always be surrounded by different types of people who all think differently and come from different backgrounds, our goal is to adapt and be able to understand all of them. Overall, I got to read others peoples blog, understand all our activities in depth which further allowed me to understand the general management concepts that we were trying to learn I will continue to post on this blog after the class is over and I believe that this should definitely be a component of this course.
