Vision- Read the quote above, in the middle and below. Read them again. Reflect on it. Act on it. Live it. Successful organizations and people are best defined by continuous, sustained success at all levels; not periodic acts of individual greatness and understanding what they do, no matter how small they think it is, is immensely important. Everyone has a part to play in the organization and intrinsically want to do the right thing. Sustain that conviction with those “right” thoughts,…

Susan Plyte once said, “Money is not everything. Happiness and the fulfilling that came from staying true to you are the only measures of wealth.” Many people believe that money is the most effective things to inspire people to do work well, but it is not always true. Throughout history, we can see that people who are outstanding in their own field all show the great interest in their jobs. Therefore, from my perspective, it is much more important to do work that one finds fulfilling. Salman…

The past week I kept a journal, recording how I felt at different times and different places throughout the day. This is the first time that I have written down and paid attention to how my energy level changed during the course of the day. I occasionally would think about how much energy I had or how drained I felt at different times in my life, but I never took the time to write it down and observe, so this was a new experience for me. I started my geography of energy journal on Sunday…

Charles Spurgeon one said “It is not how much we have, but how much we enjoy, that makes happiness.” Happiness is not something that just happens to you. It either comes from you being a giver or a taker. Either way you find happiness by giving things to others or taking things for yourself. The article “There’s More to Life Than Being Happy” uses ethos to tell us how we make ourselves happy. The article also uses pathos by telling us stories from a book written by a Holocaust prisoner. Lastly…

HBR's 10 must reads on leadership. (2011). Boston, Mass.: Harvard Business Review Press. Article 4: Why Should Anyone be Led by You? Central Theme: Authors Robert Goffee and Gareth Jones reveal, towards the end of their article, that an inspirational leader is himself but with “more skill” (p.94). One has to be able to reveal weakness selectively, be a sensor, practice empathy, and dare to be different. As a leader, the person must be able to connect with those they lead but also be able…

Alan Thompson proclaims himself as a sheep herder of sorts; he described it where his employees were his sheep, and he was there where to guide them when they strayed off the correct path. Through our interview, our group has found an individual that embodies the leadership qualities that this course has taught us. Alan’s time as Director of Operations of Texaco Canada, a major lubricant manufacturer that services Heavy Equipment, Truck and Coach, and the Automotive industry as whole, enabled…

choose to do what is just. In doing what is just, a leader is avoiding the age old positon of Thrasymachus from Plato’s Republic, “might makes right.” Many people say that it is the leader’s duty to make decisions that will affect their follows in a positive way. One of America’s greatest leaders, Abraham Lincoln, said in his Gettysburg Address “Our father brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.”…

I have two ideas of movies with a cohesive group, both of which I have watched recently and know pretty well. Idea #1: The Hunger Games Catching Fire Small group: Katniss Everdeen, Peeta Mellark, Haymitch Abernathy, and Effie Trinket. I think that these four characters are a good choice because they all have to work together throughout most of the movie. They begin working together as a group for the victory tour, and then continue working together when they are preparing for the Quarter Quell…

Integrity, service, and growth. Those are three very important values to exemplify. In myself, I see integrity. I see myself as a remodel for others out there. I am sincere when interacting with other people. I truly care and I am honest in every way possible. There is always a smile of my face that others can’t seem to help but notice. I believe I deserve good and set my standards very high. I have goals set for myself, and day by day I work to reach them. I love God, and follow him because I…
