Kerry has an area of opportunity of improving her performance at work by enhancing her organizational skills.

Although Karen has made great strides in the business world she also faces some struggles. Her first major problem is that she is a woman with no international connections. Being a woman is hard enough to gain respect and work your way up in the business world, having connections are very important in businesses like Merrill Lynch because a lot of people making big accounts are international client. Her next big problem is hiring people. She has to meet with them many times before she decides if they are good enough to work for this company. She has a big responsibility to make the company successful and if she hires a bad worker it is costing the company mega bucks. Another problem she has is Chung. He is her first Taiwanese worker and she is very unfamiliar of these different cultures and how to incorporate them in her sales. Along with the unfamiliarity of Chung and his

This project could have been kicked off with a bang. Amber Briggs could have focused on five areas to improve her kick-off meeting.

In the 45 minutes conversation Ms. Rebecca and I had, I learned a lot. The first thing we discussed is to not pressure yourself to making sure you have everything figured out. She said by her going to Emory University everyone knew exactly what they wanted to be from the start, but she said not to stress about it, because life can take you many places and stressing about things far in the future is not productive. She also said if you are to stress, stress about short-term things, thing you can control, and to focus on your day-to-day goals. Also we discussed how to sell oneself in an internship, she told me to focus on my values and what I will bring to the table and will get out of the internship, like the experience, the opportunity to grow.

Well if that is Michelle attitude then I’m glad we didn’t get her. I’m very happy with who we have. You are correct that part of the plan is to mode her and get her for around four years(longer if possible). If all goes well she might be promoted as I am or if I take an opportunity elsewhere.

I predicted that Nancy Carlos would be an active group member that is very outgoing. I thought that she would actively contribute to the group’s product and would always be ready to work. I inferred this because she was always clarifying and asking questions about activities we were doing as a team. She seemed motivated and as though she sincerely cared about her grade and the outcome of the group. My predictions proved correct, yet I was unable to predict how essential she would be to the team. She was a hardworking member that was always talking, always working hard, and even took on the roles of opinion provider, questioner, and clarifier. She would involve herself in conversations and would rarely wait for someone to ask her for her opinion.

Week four at Wild Dunes began on Sunday with three evening shifts 3-11PM. Sunday, the 31st was extremely slow with very few arrivals. I was able to concentrate on one of my goals – mastering the complex computer system. Being the perfectionist that I am, it is frustrating when I feel as though I haven’t mastered a skill so I’m working on that aspect of my personality. Since the shift was so slow, I was released early on this Sunday as there were no arrivals due in at the late hours.
