...Team B Week Two Reflection MGT 311 Learning Team B Week Two Reflection The first two weeks of this course have had several objectives. Some of the objectives of the first week include: evaluating individual characteristics of employees, determining managerial methods based on individual employee characteristics, and analyzing the influence of individual characteristic on organizational performance. Week one focused on individual characteristics of the employee. The second week of the course has had the following objectives: determining strategies that will increase the motivation of the employees and creating a more efficient organizational communication. One of the discussions we were comfortable with revolves around efficient communication in the organization. Difficulties challenge managers to have an efficient communication system within an organization because of the unpredictable ideas and diversity commonplace today. However, although challenging to design a good communication system; if it succeeds, then the company has more chances of reaching positive employee relationships. A topic that seemed difficult to discuss, refers to determining managerial methods based on individual employee characteristics. The students suggest that managers would not find it easy to calibrate their actions based on employees’ behaviors. From the objectives that were discussed during both Weeks’ readings, we learned that in any type of business there are diverse individuals with...

...Week Two Team A Reflection In week one of class, our objectives were to; Evaluate individual characteristics of employees, analyze the impact of individual employee characteristics on organizational performance, and to determine management methods based on individual employee characteristics. Our week two objectives added to the knowledge we gained in week one, they were to; determine strategies to motivate employees, and to create effective organizational communication. After discussing what we learned, our team found that overall we agreed with one another, though we sometimes had different perspectives. As a group we all thought that much of what we learned could be applicable to both our professional and personal lives. Understanding peoples characteristics is invaluable because both our personal and professional lives can get hectic, and having an understanding about peoples differences, and how that effects their motivation and perception helps in making life easier. This knowledge allows us to determine how to best approach a person or situation that a person or group of people is involved be the focus work related, or not. Specifically pertaining to work, understanding employee characteristics is invaluable toward creating a balanced work environment. Before making any conclusions about how an employee is performing, it is necessary to understand if they had the characteristics and qualities required to perform as required by the position.

In the given scenario, Corporation A is a business that creates marketing programs for the real estate industry. The employees with different job roles that work at Corporation A are demonstrating the five bases of power in different situations. A description of each power with examples from the actions from these employees will be discussed.

Coercive, reward, and legitimate power are listed under formal power and expert and referent power are listed under personal...
