...300). The team exercise was a simulated climb of Mt. Everest, with each member having a unique role during the simulation. According to Psychologist Bruce Tuckman, there are five stages in group development including forming, storming, norming, performing, and a later added adjourning (Kreitner & Kinicki, 2013). Not only was the Harvard Publishing Leadership and Team Simulation: Everest V2 a simulation in climbing Mt Everest, it was a lesson in executing a group challenge. The formation of the team began with the team assignments from the professor. There was some confusion as to who was on what team but after a few days; one after the other was present for the forming processes. It took a few days for everyone to collaborate and get their schedules all to work out to complete this task. Communication between team members was initially challenging trying to figure out the best method of communication between group members. Some members communicated more than others in the discussion board. A slower method of communication was utilized when two members, Terry and Jackie, had technical issues accessing the Chat room. In the process of developing the team charter, behavioral characteristics such as procrastination became apparent, which made it difficult to write portions of the team charter for everyone’s review. The lack of communication made the final product miss some key elements. The team analysis paper was not...

...person that Swaminathan Iyer is It has taken 19 years. 19 long years of writing useless answers to useless questions (Not accounting for the three years I was unable to hold a pen/pencil properly. Make no mistake, I’m 22), of filling bundles of valuable paper with non-sense, for me to place my lazy bum on this chair to answer the most pertinent of questions (and here I am, not wasting paper anymore. Oh! The irony!), who is Swaminathan Iyer? Disclaimer : To make things easy for me for the rest of my Iliad, Swaminathan Iyer will be shortened to Swami. Its short, and to tell you the truth, I prefer it that way. And then, when I think about it once the initial surprise of not thinking about this question wears off, isn’t it obvious for me to actually know myself before I pen this? Ok, type this. That is something which takes time, even years perhaps. One has to wait for the right time. But then, how does one know when the right time has come? There, I came up with this philosophical gem! The right time is when you decide its the right time. To tell you the truth, this is harder than it first seemed, but necessary. So, without further ado, let me just get down to it. As preparation for this article, I decided to do some research, I watched some interviews on YouTube to see what exactly interviewers asked the interviewees, to broadcast their life to a wider audience, but then I stumbled upon the Arnab Goswami-Rahul Gandhi interview and decided that I had had enough. I felt as though...

...MBA Admissions Essay Powerful Tips for Improving Your Odds of Gaining Admission to the MBA Program of Your Choice Admissions essays are easily the most challenging part of the MBA application process, and it’s no wonder. Most people don’t like to write, and even those of us who do enjoy writing can come up blank when called upon to write about ourselves, especially when so much is at stake. The fact remains: If you want to go to business school, you have to be able to generate one or two thousand carefully chosen words that sum up your background and experience, your career goals, your reasons for seeking the MBA, and why you’ve chosen the program to which you’re applying. Step one: Relax. Writing admissions essays is stressful—it’s supposed to be stressful— but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible. Everyone who has ever applied to business school has written admissions essays, and so can you. All you have to do is submit essays that are a little bit better than most of the others, and if you follow the advice we’ll cover in the following pages, it will be a lot less painful. How to Write a Successful Most MBA essays are mediocre The good news is that most MBA admissions essays are mediocre at best.

This guide is designed to help you get started (the hardest...

...Debunking the Goal Setting Theory Presented to Trudy Dunson, Instructor MGMT 2125, Performance Management By Andrea Smith 10/13/2014 Often times in the business world, organizations become so fixated on the goals they set, that when they begin to go wrong, an organization will invest more into that goal instead of looking for a different path. Oliver Burkeman’s book, “The Antidote: Happiness for People Who Can’t Stand Positive Thinking” devotes a whole chapter to the importance or lack thereof of setting goals. In his book, he tells a story of Chris Kayes who was on the foothills of Mt. Everest at the same time the tragedy that took the lives of eight climbers depicted in the book, “In Thin Air.” Kayes observed even through this tragedy, that the climbers did everything correct based on the goal setting theory; they had a clear goal and worked to achieve it above all else however the results were devastating still. In this example, the climbers ignored the evidence that told them that they should turn away from their goal an instead invested more time and energy which led to their deaths. According to Locke and Latham (2006) as long as a person is committed to their goal and does not have any other conflicting goals, there is a positive relationship between the goal and performance. Unfortunately though, goal setting has been prescribed and not monitored. Therefore, like all prescription abuse, organizations fail to recognize the harm that goals can caused due to creating...

...MBA532 Leadership Unit 8 Manning suggests that while women tend to be hypercritical of themselves, men are often more confident of their abilities than they ought to be. Briefly agree or disagree. Then, address how you, as a leader of an increasingly androgynous workforce, would remedy such varying self-perceptions. In other words, how would you formulate an effective strategy to lead those two groups while maintaining consistency of approach to treating all equally? Be specific in how would you get men to have a more realistic assessment of their abilities and convince women to focus less on perceived imperfections. I agree that women are more hypercritical of themselves and some probably think less of themselves because of social expectations. Society expects women to carry all of burdens of raising a family, cooking, cleaning, and being a good wife. That is a lot of pressure for women to deal with on a daily basis. Women in the workplace do not make the same money as men that are doing the same job. Women are defined by their appearance first and their abilities last by society. Men for the most part have been the bread winner of the family, and the head of the family. Men made all of the decisions about how the money would be spent, while women held their hand out for their allowance. Some men on the other hand are more confident in themselves because women allow them to be confident in themselves even when they are wrong. When I first became a Team Leader, I was...

Cultural Analysis • II. Economic Analysis • III. Market Audit and Competitive Market Analysis • IV. Preliminary Marketing Plan I. Cultural Analysis writing guide Guideline I. Introduction writing guide A significant aspect of China is its long cultural and national history. The Chinese people have shared a common culture longer than any other group on Earth. The Chinese writing system, for example, dates back almost 4,000 years. The imperial dynastic system of government, which continued for centuries, was established as early as 221 BC. Although specific dynasties were overturned, the dynastic system survived. China was even ruled at times by foreign invaders, such as the Mongols during the Yuan Dynasty, from AD 1279 to 1368, and the Manchus during the Ch'ing Dynasty, from AD 1644 to 1911, but the foreigners were largely absorbed into the culture they governed. It is as if the Roman Empire had lasted from the time of the Caesars to the 20th century, and during that time had evolved a cultural system and written language shared by all the peoples of Europe. The dynastic system was overturned in 1911, and a weak republican form of government existed until 1949. In that year, after a long civil war, the People's Republic of China, with a Communist government, was proclaimed...
