Week Ten on CSR 309 or 11th

So someplace, I lost track of what week my blogs are to be in. Oh well.

Some person came into an office of some sort and asked, "if I had the secret to success, would you give me 25k to find out what it is?"


The secret to success the stranger had written on the envelope was
1. List things what you need to do.
2. Do them.

The stranger received 25,000.


another lesson from Dr. Feinberg are his tips to leadership!


1. Tell them what you expect
2. Make it doable
3. Reward them
4. Give them feedback
5. When it is done reward again


Be sure to train them over and over to "condition" them for opportunities with your wonderful leadership skills


EXPECTATION LEADS TO BEHAVIOR.

Rule 1
Customer is always right

Rule 2
If wrong, read rule 1 again.

I cannot stand that rule sometimes. The customer is not always right.

How do you not know what week you are in? What type of leadership are you to provide when you don’t know what is going on yourself? These are the first two things that pop into my mind in reading this entry. Leadership is something that you give to others, but in order to do that you must have it first yourself. Caring is one thing that you must do as a leader, and you don’t care. That is evident in here by the big “Oh well” at the top of this entry. That doesn’t leave a great first impression.

After reading this I have no idea of what you learned from this class. Expand upon your thoughts. You say that you cannot stand the rules you have at the bottom, why not? Tell your readers what makes you feel the way you do. Retelling stories from class, and Feinberg’s tips to leadership does nothing towards what you learned in the class. That just shows that you can regurgitate information from lectures.

Kenny,

I thought I was strict.. yikes. I understand your message and agree with it to an extent. However, a blog is an open jouranl where someone can express whatever he or she feels. Whether they are uncertain of it being week 9 or 10 doesn't show a lack of care, instead it is a justifiable trivialization of a trivial piece of information.

Jesse, I generally like your blog a lot (not justthis entry). I think you took it more seriously than many others and in a year if you look back at your entries, they will breath into you a glimpse of valuable introspection.
Keep it up.

-Daniel
