“a Novice Manager’s Tale of Woe”

As a manager for a large department her job duties are quite extensive. She manages over forty employees. She reinforces compliance of staff with hospital policies, gives informal/formal feedback regarding performance throughout the year, promotes staff development, and uses effective listening, writing, and verbal skills. She promotes satisfaction targets related to patients, employees, and physicians, actively participates in, and leads interdisciplinary teams. Alicia also assist the director in maintain departmental budget, monitors supply utilization and maintains budgeted targets, and responsible for an efficient and accurate payroll.

She does not ask what the employees think before she implements anything. The employees therefore perceive Sally to be a poor manager who does not care about employees’ work condition and who buries herself ‘behind a high desk with her back to the door in an office two levels above’.

After reading this book, I realized that I already use a lot of the things that Focazio focuses on. I decided I would use this assignment to reveal what I do when I’m not being a fulltime student. Since I can remember, I was raised to be a super hero. I was raised in a life where magic wasn’t a myth and extraordinary powers were a common everyday thing. I decided to go through things in the book I liked a lot and relate them to things I’ve learned from becoming the hero that I am today. I’ll begin with Focazio’s first of the three keys to unlock the problem of job dissatisfaction. You have to have fun to become successful. Being a superhero isn’t all the hype it’s made up to be. There is a lot of hard work that goes into training

She had felt all that pressure that was recently put upon her fly away, “That’s literally the best word for it; relieved.” Aldina had gotten hired the three months after she had finished college and began working at Garden Court Retirement in Everett. Five years was the amount of time she spent at her very first job after college. “When you realize how good you get at your job and how awesome it is once you’re actually doing it, it’s an amazing feeling.

Acquiring a job, whether it be in a doctor’s office or a fast-food restaurant, can transform a person. Jobs tend to educate employees, both about themselves and life in general, either indirectly or directly. In Climbing the Golden Arches, nineteen year-old Marissa Nuñez discusses the work ethics she gained while being employed at her McDonalds. Within her essay, Nuñez mentioned how she faced both pleasant and unpleasant circumstances at her work, all which prepared her for her future career. As an individual who worked at McDonald’s, Nuñez learned how to fulfill her role of being an employee by becoming an expert at all the placed stations, dealing with the various types of customers she encountered on a daily basis, and by acting as an efficient team member. When Marissa Nuñez, who was a high schooler at the time, first applied for this job at McDonald’s, she probably did not apply with the intent of becoming a more responsible and efficient individual. However, as time went on and she utilized the skills she obtained from working long and hard at McDonald’s, Marissa Nuñez found herself transitioning from a high school student to a

This may sound like I’m trying to earn points with my boss, but it’s really true. Trish Cox has had a great impact on me as a leader. As most of you know, I followed her here to Anthem after 19 years at Schwab. She was the primary reason for me making this change.

She has taught me that we are all people first and also while things can be mission critical, we can work together to address them in a calm and thoughtful manner, without running around with our hair on

She had a more gradual progression into her position as manager. Knowing from an early start in her career, she wanted to be a manger. She stated that in one interview for a potential job position when asked why she wanted the job she responded with “one day I want your job,” (Bowen, D., 2015).
