Blog Topic # 7: Management Lessons!

I am not a poet but I was asked to write a poem about management

So I get a managed to do it no matter what because it’s a 5 last extra credit opportunity man

This poem suppose to conceal things that we learned in this class

Well that’s not a problem because I learned a lot in this class compare to my other class

This class happened to be my favorite class of the semester

Along with all sorts of amusing activities where we played the role as stars

I really enjoyed the activity in which our team won was to create an egg protection device

Where all teams’ mechanism failed, ours stays round off and nice

After the first exam in class we were challenged to apply our managerial skill outside

Mcgangbang was the whole purpose of that in which I ate only a bite.

Lego was given as a last activity of the semester in which we all went so crazy

Because the price is open book final that we all would love to take

Since we work so hard through the entire semester finally we all get so lazy.

Motivation

Throughout this semester professor Edward B Kurpis has used various motivation tools to motivate us in learning and appreciating the subject of management. These tools are class (Job) design which includes five core class (Job) characteristic such as Skill variety, task identity, task significance, autonomy and feedback,  rewards ( intrinsic and extrinsic) and Maslow's five level of hierarchy needs. Using these tools throughout the semester really motivated us to keep engage in the class and helped us learn the subject of management in easy and simple way.

I was motivated by "The power of vision" documentary in this class. This documentary really motivates me to find my own "star fish" meaning find my vision for future. It says action without vision is time passing and vision without action is just a dream, never come true. So now I am on the process of taking right action to have my vision come true.

This class motivates me to change who I am now in terms of dealing with people from the management prospective. I learned a lot of management principles form this class that I now apply to my daily activities at home as well in public. I was surprised to find some of the management characteristics that exist in me that was unaware of. Now that I know so can take proud by exercising them more.

All in all, this is one of my favorite class this semester. It is my pleasure to have professor Edward B Kurpis for this course.
