One the first day of class you said that this class will be the most important class that we would take at the U. You... 2005-12-15T10:25:03-06:00 http://blog.lib.umn.edu/turn0272/blake/034266.html Like Mary-Jane, we all can get into ruts in our lives that appear to have no end result. Obviously she was very unhappy with her job. This is apparent when she says “the toxic energy dump is what you... 2005-12-15T09:17:15-06:00 http://blog.lib.umn.edu/turn0272/blake/032926.html One might argue that i-pods have tipped, but I don’t think that we have seen the least of it. I do realize that the market is huge for i-pods, but I don’t think that they have reached the full... 2005-11-28T20:54:44-06:00 http://blog.lib.umn.edu/turn0272/blake/032924.html In Gladwell’s tipping point I thought that the discussion in Chapter 6 about the importance of innovators was really interesting. It was surprising to me that the trends and such that Airwalk capitalized on were actually decided on a year... 2005-11-28T20:42:11-06:00 http://blog.lib.umn.edu/turn0272/blake/032364.html After completing the group presentation there was a lot that I noticed in this presentation. I think what I took away most from this experience is that I need to always be aware of the group members mannerisms that I’m... 2005-11-16T21:14:58-06:00 http://blog.lib.umn.edu/turn0272/blake/030350.html Working in Virtual teams can be very convenient, because you can do it anywhere you want.

I don't like to cause "waves" so I usually just go on with what the group thinks is best, even if I... 2005-10-19T13:54:50-06:00 http://blog.lib.umn.edu/turn0272/blake/030206.html Goleman’s views on emotional intelligence are good in theory, and fairly obvious in my mind. It is very important that we always have his comments in reserve in the back of our minds because they are useful in evaluating work... 2005-10-19T13:24:15-06:00 http://blog.lib.umn.edu/turn0272/blake/034276.html Goleman's self competencies hit home for me. I would say that I connect more with his personal competences than the social competences. Goleman writes that the personal competences are “competences that determine how we manage ourselvesâ€? (p26) I think this... 2005-10-15T11:07:57-06:00 http://blog.lib.umn.edu/turn0272/blake/034275.html A highly affective team in my field includes what most teams in any field would need for success. There needs to be open fields of communication. For example, my currant field is the restaurant industry. Any given night I’m working... 2005-10-11T11:06:27-06:00 http://blog.lib.umn.edu/turn0272/blake/034274.html Wow, this is actually really hard when someone asks you to describe yourself. So here it goes. I’m a super senior at the U, with a double major. I’m majoring in political science and the rhets. I believe this... 2005-10-06T11:05:41-06:00 http://blog.lib.umn.edu/turn0272/blake/029140.html To live a life that is true to who I am as a person. I have a need for a successful career but an equal need for strong family relationships. The balance of my social and work life needs to... 2005-10-06T00:05:02-06:00 http://blog.lib.umn.edu/turn0272/blake/027678.html In completing the tasks in chapter 2 I realized I’m much more critical than I expected. It was very difficult for me to point out my strengths. It is easy to think in the back of your mind what you... 2005-09-19T19:59:16-06:00 http://blog.lib.umn.edu/turn0272/blake/027268.html Since one day I hope to be an attorney when I grow up, I guess that is the field most appropriate to talk about.
