TEN MANAGEMENT COMMANDMENTS

One two three four five six seven eight nine"

it's the ten manangement commandments
What, uhh, uhh
Brother you can't tell me nothin bout this leadership, uh-huh
Can't tell me nothin bout this decision making, this planning
To my hustlers
Street managers on the corner I ain't forget you guys
My triple beam leaders, word up

One two three four five six seven eight nine"
"TEN"

I been in this game for years, it made me a animal
It's rules to this, I wrote me a manual
A step by step booklet for you to get
your game on track, not your future pushed back
Rule nombre uno: never let no one know
how much, dough you hold, cause you know
The cheddar breed jealousy 'specially
if that man messed up, get your bonus taken out.
Number two: never let em know your next move
Don't you know competitors move in silence or violence
Take it from your highness (uh-huh)
Number three: Manage your employees morally
If you got that authority, make sure they follow you thoroughly
Number four: know you heard this before
Never get high, on your own supply
Number five: never sell your idea where you rest at
I don't care if they want a ounce, tell em bounce
Number six: that god damn credit, dead it
You think with a 9 percent unemployment rate they payin you back, forget it
Seven: this rule is so underrated
Keep your business completely integrated
Number eight: Always keep your team informed of objectives
Them cats that make your copies can be of use too
Number nine just follow Kurpis’s slides
Number ten: a strong word called communication.
Strictly for all men, not just executives
Follow these rules you'll have mad bread to break up
If not, ask for a curve to get your grade up.

Communicating Feedback

Writing this blog for me every week, or every other week throughout this semester has been quite pleasant. The blog topics often had us reflect on our class activities in a way that really allows students to take a minute, and think deeply about what happened during these activities. My personal experience with the blogs made me think about how I felt during the activities, and how the curriculum applies to the activities. I have noticed a repeating theme throughout the course. All the activities take us through the decision making process, where there is a leader and a task at hand. I believe what Professor Kurpis is attempting to do with these activities, is to teach the students to use the lessons learned about these processes and apply them during in class activities and also throughout life.
The blogs also have enabled me to interact with students, and comment on their ideas which whom I would not have been able to in class because they sit on the other side of the room. Also those I did work with, one girl in particular who was always in my group, we would often tease each other in class with the threat of retaliation on the blogs after disagreements during class activities.
I most likely will not blog in the near future, although this class did open my eyes to blogging and the benefits of it. One day, when I become an executive, I may have my employees’ blog and possibly open their eyes to the benefits of it, while receiving beneficial feedback about work being done.
