I'm in Charge

Management is about leadership

It's about taking charge and holding a firm grip

People look at you with a great deal of respect

They know that you are the one that has the power to select

Yes people look at me like I am the man

But the huge responsibility I hold, sometimes I doubt I can

I have to look deep within and realize I am in charge

If I show fear they will feel small not large

So I look deep within and find my strength

And as long as I am in charge my company will go the extra length

The Next Perez Hiltons

Day 1 of the class, Professor Kurpis talked about blogging for the class. I thought it would be rather annoying and time consuming, however, it didn’t turn out as bad as I expected. One of the most effective traits about these assignments was that I was able to remember what we actually did in class because I technically reviewed the material after class and wrote an evaluation on it. I loved the fact that it did not have to be too formal so there was freedom to really speak my mind. I also loved that it was easier to get 20% without studying or researching about dead people.

Honestly, I probably don’t even know who the people are that I commented on, but maybe that’s just me. I did enjoy the first and second assignment the most because I learned about other cultures and their experiences. I am an intended international marketing major so this stuff is really interesting to me.

I wished I read the Professor’s blog earlier than the last minute though because he has written some really relevant and interesting stuff, especially about time management and failure.

As much as I would love to keep blogging, I think it would be pointless if there weren’t people to comment on it because then I would feel as though I am talking to myself! I definitely think this should remain as a component of this course. It is perfect the way it is, if there were any more assignments, it’d become annoying, if there were any less, no one would pay attention to it. Thank you Professor for this opportunity!

"I"

The day our class was doing the DISC diagnostic, I was stuck in the elevator. When I came into class, everyone had already finished the test. My friend explained to later what had happened and after took the diagnostic; my result was that I am an I. I think to some extent it is true because I can be emotional, trusting, and convincing. But at the same time, I can become very demanding, egocentric, and aggressive, which is a D. I think with help and determination, you probably can become another type, people are always learning new things and changing; if you are the same person you were 10 years ago, that is a waste of the last 10 years. I think this test would help in understanding people because it gives you an insight on how they think and function.
