My Mind

Early in the night
management is in my mind
I stayed in the computer lab
just waiting for that class
wait for hours until five
but the elevator was tight
spot is not for me to get
so I was a little upset
And think it is time to manage my time

Dropped the egg is a fun exercise
Teamwork is always required in the class
We talked, We discussed, and we decided
Step by step
Leadership role and Visions are in my mind
Class is fun and it is the best
But when it comes to test dizziness is in my mind
Class is still fun and it is still the best
Because future manager will be mine

Communicating via Blog

Reading other people's blogs is fun!

We have chances to meet people via blog, and get to know what others' results for the class exercises are, and what they think of the excercise. It also gives me the chances to express my mind through the blogs that I did not have chances to speak out in the class. I think it is really helpful for students like me who are shy to speak up in the class.

The blog definitely helps me to learn the materials of management better. While writing the blog, I will also relate the materials that we learn in class to my blog entry. This helps me to learn management more efficiently, and in more interesting way. We can also learn management from classmates' blogs, since each one of us has different perceptions toward the materials.

Blog also gives us the opportunity to minimize test percentage, so if we do not do well on the test, then it can help our score to go up a little.

Overall, I think blog is a great way for students to learn management, as well as to meet other classmates that we do not have chances to meet in class. I also appreciate those classmates who came to my blog, and wrote many great comments toward my opinions. Those comments are really great encouragements for me to achieve my "vision", as well as helping me to gain more confidence in life. :)

DISC

We had a class exercise about D(Dominance) I(Influence) S(Steadiness) C(Conscientiousness). I was a C high D. My "type" of people will "concentrate on key details, think analytically on pros and cons, being diplomatic with people, use subtle and indirect approaches to conflict, check for accuracy..etc".

I think that is true for my case, because I do concentrate on details, and I talked in indirect way when dealing with something I dont really agree on. Even though I think I like to check for accuracy, I am a careless person. Sometimes I made stupid simple mistakes on the test..or something that no one would really made, so on that part, I dont really agree with the result.

When I looked at the description of each category, I wish I can be in "Influence" section. Person with influence will be able to make favorable impression, verbalize articulateness, generating enthusiasm, and create a motivation environment. I think all the characteristics that "influence" has are great for manager and my future goal "marketing manager". I think at some points, I can be that kind of person, but not all the time. I hope I can be both Influential and Conscientiousness.

Even though I think the result is kind of accurate, I dont agree to use it for determine person's management skills or abilities based on that. The reasons i said that are because people may just made something up, and pretend they're someone else. Also, I think just one test cannot see through how good the person really is.

I think the exercise is fun, because it tells you what kind of person you really are. I probably will have my friends to try it. However, I wouldnt just judge them based on this.
