The manager who couldn't manage

A manager without vision

Is a manager without a goal.

It’s like his brain is in prison

And it’s still not whole.

He needs to learn how to effectively communicate

And that’s only half the job.

He most definitely needs to delegate

And I like to call him Bob.

Maybe he should have a McGangbang or two,

He’ll manage like Jackie Chan

And bust out the business kung-fu.

He needs to learn from Professor Kurpis,

He’ll have as much fun,

As he can have at a circus.

Blog You!

When I first learned about the blog assignments we would be given for class, my first thought was, ah crap.  I thought they would be annoying since I’m not a huge fan of writing but I was wrong.  I believe the blog has been a great tool for this class because everyone was able to apply what was learned in class to their own lives.  I found it interesting to read about others’ opinions and views about the week’s blog topic.  What made it even better was being able to write on others’ blogs.  You can disagree, agree and add on to whatever idea another person had.  This way, both people can learn something either about themselves or about the topic.  

Another benefit of the blog was getting to know other people in class.  After writing something on someone’s blog, you can bring it up next time you see the person.  Who knows, that person might become your best friend one day and you wouldn’t have known them if it weren’t for the blog.  

One of the best things about the blog is that it’s worth 20% of the grade.  You are completely in control of whether you receive the full 20% or not.  This is very beneficial because it relieves a lot of pressure from all the students.  Most classes rely solely on test grades, meanwhile this one does not.  It’s less to worry about; something that every college student wishes for more of.

The blog is great to keep working on because it’s an excellent way to keep in touch with others from the class and even the professor.  You can learn a lot and ask a lot by keeping the blog active.  Your next interview might come from someone you know through the blog or you can even use the blog as an example during an interview. 

I now see that there are countless benefits to this blog that I couldn’t notice in the very beginning.
