Demotivational

OB:
Demotivational is almost how I feel about this class right now. I have so much homework to do. I started on the "Good to Great" book report. I have come to some really shocking realizations about myself. Oh well, I'll leave those to... well, sorry, but not to you. We started off class with a series of Demotivational Posters. I have actually worked at a place that had one of these on their wall. Not many companies want to put these up, but this one was to actually motivate us. And it did. Go to the website to view and purchase your own. or just view the funny things they offer. Despair.com

We then started a powerpoint about motivation. I'll make a link tomorrow for that. There are some really great things int there that are worth rereading.

Then we talked about one of the other many things due this week. Evaluations. We are to evaluate each other. It sounds easy enough. We also went over a few things about how to evaluate:

4 points to evaluate
1) Emphasize strengths – positivity helps improve productivity
2) Avoid suggestions involving the changing of traits, but rather suggest more acceptable ways of acting – blue in the face to change traits, but “doctrine will change people faster”
3) Concentrate on opportunities for growth – not weaknesses
4) Limit plans for growth to a few important items – don’t try to do it all at once

Evaluate – up and down,

That was about as much as I got out of class for today. If you got more, please comment.
