Trying to Reach An Agreement

Class on the 15th was crazy because of how we were trying to come to agreement with our grades. Basically I used the "compete to win approach", because I wanted to get a higher grade on my exam. But in way I also followed the accommodation approach since a lot of people did horrible, I felt that there were a lot of people pushing to get their points. So I kind of saw this issue more important to them. The class also followed the colloration apprroach in which everyone was negiotating for certain things in order to implement a policy that would help everyone. Basically wasting a tremdous amount of time, we all had to compromise for the points, the grade policy and the layout of the test. Since we ran out of time we all had to agree on the final proposal which we were lucky to get.

An Eggs-cellent Way to Plan

For one my group had great chemistry, we all were open to diferent ideas. We all decided that we each come up with something and see what worked best basically we used the Step 4 and we made a plan. And we all agreed on the egg spaceship. Basically we knew that we only had 10 minutes so we had to think fast, so by the time we got the supplies we had our spaceship idea ready. All that was left was to put it together and we all worked together to make it perfect. Then we chose the shortest person to drop the egg, but it didnt work out. Even though our plan didn't work, we still had an effective team that got along. The only thing that we could have done was be a little more creative and that we should have questioned the professor more in order to figure out exactly what drop kind was okay.

Example of a Management Issue

An issue I am having at work is that we recently had a change of management and a new manager has taken over. And I feel that she is being a little too bossy, commanding and pushy with the other managers and my co-workers. She has really changed the work environment for me and I don't feel comfortable within this environment. I am worried that many people will quit and that I would quit because of the change in management. And I am also worried that the company will not benefit with a manager like her.
