Managers

Managers do more than just sit around
and command others,
They assist, supervise
and maintain the order

Acting as the middle man between executives and workers,
their job can be far mosre stressful than those of stock brokers
By taking on four different roles,
managers can plan, lead, organize and control
This is known as the management process,
that is established  to minimize a company's losses

While the leader is who establish a vision;
managers are the one who plans and budgets the resources to support and deliver
They aren't only focus on a company's success,
they also have the ability to manage emotion in relationships with their employees
and the rest
Emotional intelligence is what thats called,
this is one of the many hats that managers hold

So before you say that a managers job is a piece of cake,
you should take some time and get your facts straight

Communicating via Blog

When the professor told us at the beginning of the semester that we were going to be writing blog entries I was kind of interested but also curious as to how it was going to tie in with the lectures because this was going to be my first class in which blogs were going to be used. Now looking back, I can say that this method was an interesting, and an effective way to learn about the ideas and thoughts of my classmates. Normally one goes to class and rarely interact much with the people around them. But I feel that through the use of the blog getting to know people became a bit easier because you were able to relate to them more. One aspect that I enjoyed about this class were the different activites we did that put into practice several topics that we learned. Blogging about these activities furthered my learning and understanding of them since I had to actually think and tie the activities back to the lecture and notes making it more likely that I would rememeber the key points. The blog did provide an easy link to outside readings. From the few times I checked, there were interesting topics that are always good to have in the back of your head. The fact that I had the power to control a portion of my grade through the use of the blog did give me some sense of security. I do believe this was an fair 20% portion to manage although I admit there were times where I forgot that I had a blog to write. I enjoyed posting my thoughts and feelings on the blog and I hope that I do continue to do so, if time permits or if I rememeber to do so.
Overall,I think the blogs were useful and should remain as a component of this mamagement course. It should stay as it is because it wasn't necessarly hard to do the thing is sometimes it was easy to forget to do it but that responsibility falls on us.
