Back and Better For It

Finance (sort of):
Chris Andrews lead us today and made fun of our companies and ideas. He wanted us to describe our company and what we do in 7 words or less and make it so he would be interested in knowing more. Embroidery was a hard one to sell to him. We'll have to work on it. Then he went over this outline thingy that would help us come up with a better business plan. And that was about it.

OB:
Brother Holt talked about what we will be looking forward to in the next coming weeks and how we will present out company ideas. Then he talked to us about the structure for our companies and what advantages/disadvantages leaders have.

We watched Remember the Titans clips to learn about the "Five stages of Group Creation":
1. Forming – High Morale, Low/Zero Productivity
2. Storming – Morale tanks, productivity goes up a bit
3. Norming – Morale up better but plateau, productivity still climbing
4. Performing - Productivity is up and Morale is up.
5. Adjourning - We didn't really go over this one. But I'm guessing it's all about finishing the project or team/group.

Some Definitions:
Norm = finding routine and accepted behaviors, “Social Loafing”,
Norms we want: Dedication, Common Interests, Joy, Friends, Trust, Respect, Punctual
Class seems to go quicker now. We'll see how long that lasts. that's about it for today.
