My Management Flow

Management, oh management
What can i say?
For five points on the final
I'll recite poems all day!

My Blog experience

First off I want to say that this was my first experience with blogging, so the whole thing was kind of new to me. At first I found it to be a little annoying kind of like busy work. Having to remember the deadlines and then remembering to respond to other classmates proved to be a little tedious.
However, after doing a few assignments I realized the blog wasn't all that bad. First of all, it forced me to reflect on class and even sometimes life and put those thoughts down on paper. Although this may seem trivial we often don't take the time to just reflect on things and look back on our accomplishments and more importantly into the future. Putting these thought in text though blogging was also very helpful because their is a big difference from having thoughts in your head to seeing them in front of you.

Another thing the blog brought to the table was being able to read the thoughts of our peers. Reading others post often gave me another outlook on situations. I wouldn't mind continuing my blog or being involved in a blog for this same reason. That is, I like seeing others perspectives on given situations after that fact because quite frankly, it gives me something to compare myself to. I think the blog can help a person realize things about themselves they might not have been aware of before the fact.

Professor Kurpis should definitely keep the bog in his curriculum. My only advice to him would be to incorporate more assignments that have to do with individual goals and visions. I say this because I enjoyed reading my peers visions and it gave me a sense of security as to where I am in my life. Since all of us are for the most part at the same stage in life, it helps to hear what others are going through and where they see themselves.

DiSC Behavior

I have to admit, when I was taking this test I was a little skeptical that the test wouldn't be able to accurately judge my personality based on some trivial questions...But when it was all said and done I think the test described me somewhat accurately.

I was diagnosed to be D high C (Dominance with high conscientiousness). Actually, the overall difference for the two personalities came out to be the same number. Anyway, that means I want to shape the environment by overcoming the opposition to accomplish results while working conscientiously within existing circumstances to ensure quality and accuracy.

Now, I believe this did a good job describing me because I would describe myself as someone who likes to be in control of my density and ultimately my surroundings...And I also consider myself to be a rational person who likes to make every move a calculated one.

I have no problem with being in the dominance and conscientious group, and i didn't really need a test to tell me this because I always knew I like to be in control of situations. Although, I think the test is helpful in that I can try to keep in mind being an influential and steady person in order to become a more well rounded person.

Lastly, I think it's hard to become another type because that involves changing a persons thought process, which is usually embedded in them. I also think the professor was right in that this test could help people with their personal relationships. However, I think he was wrong in saying that two people of the same type are most likely compatible. I say this because I couldn't see how two dominant people could coexist in a relationship.
