Class: Mon. Feb. 16

Today in class, we talked more about leadership styles during interviews. We watched videos that showed different interview styles. Most of these were obviously meant to be funny, but there was still some truth behind them. We need to make ourselves interesting to our employers, and stand out in the best light. We talked today about how we can benefit our companies. These topics made me think about my interviewing skills. What traits do I posses that would make a company want to hire me? How can I be beneficial to an organization? These are important leadership questions that I wonder as I begin to apply for post-college jobs.

Today was also the day that our groups were supposed to be finalized by the end of class, or group members would get -50 points. I don’t really understand this concept. I mean, if I’m in a group that is complete and other slackers in the class can’t get it together, why should I be punished? I guess this goes along with the concept of any organization. If the class is supposed to represent a company, then each part needs to run in order to function properly. HR, finance, product development, sales, upper management, etc.—these parts all need to run efficiently together in order to be successful.
