Organization is Key

-

As the semester is coming to an end and I am about to enter the workforce with an internship I thought it would be great to do some prep work on important actions to take while at work. One key trait is to keep organized. This will help myself achieve the highest efficiency level, but also will be beneficial to my relationships with fellow coworkers. As an intern, I will most likely be asked to do small projects for multiple people and if I can’t keep everything inline and easily understood, my managers and co-workers might not ask for my help again. This is crucial, because the more projects given, the more ways I will be able to prove my worth in the organization.
Later on in my career, I will hopefully achieve some level of a management position. In this role, organization is even more crucial due to more responsibilities with higher importance. After practicing organization for so many years, it will just become a good habit and I won’t have to think twice about it. This will be great because I can improve efficiency and really value all the time I put into work hours. If I do achieve a management role, hopefully I can be a good role model to others and help them realize the importance of organization as well.

    Hi Molly,
    Often I struggle with organization but can see how much it easier it is to have everything organized rather than all over the place. I try to write out what I hope to accomplish each week and check it off as I complete it. I often will write everything done even if it is as simple as sending an email because it is nice to see completed tasks as you move throughout the week.

    I really related to this post because as you know, we both struggle with organization skills and are huge procrastinators. I agree that we both need to work on being more organized this summer as we enter our internships. Hopefully, when we come back in the fall we will be a little more organized.

Thoughts on emotional intelligence

-
On Monday afternoon during my management class, I was educated on emotional intelligence. This was once again a subject I have not reflected on much at all, so a lot of self knowledge was learned. Prior to this class we were instructed to take a quiz which rated the four parts of emotional intelligence: 1. self-awareness 2. self-management 3. social-awareness 4. relationship management, these scores were out of ten and I scored three on all of them except social-awareness which was only a four. These are extremely low but, I think it's not completely accurate because there were only two options to choose from for each question, but it does say something about myself. I guess since I never thought much about emotional intelligence, it resulted in me lacking it. But, after their presentation I realized I can grow and improve myself. Specifically in relationship management, I have been trying to work on the components that make it effective. One of the big parts of it that effect my...

Company Culture

-
I have been reading many of my peers blogs recently and a lot of them have written about company culture. There was a class presentation on this topic and I think it really changed people’s mindsets when applying to jobs. For myself, it was not really something I had thought about, but after learning about it, it makes a lot of sense. Everybody likes to work in different environments, and this can make or break the ability to enjoy work and be able to make progress while at work. When you go into an interview it is very important to take note of the “vibe” of the place. I took this vey seriously this past week when I had two interviews a day after each other.             These two interviews were both in healthcare, however I got complete different feelings from the two. In the first interview, things were taken more seriously. I was led into an office and was asked typical interview questions. It was more forma...

Crisis Management

-
A crisis can happen at anytime and anywhere. This is why I think one of the most beneficial classes we had in management two was on crisis management. While a crisis is terrible no matter what the case, in a healthcare setting there should be even more caution. I am a big fan of the show Greys Anatomy, and in this show while it is fiction, they depict crisis’s very well. They have shown on site shooters, a computer hack, a fire in the building, and so much more. Of course the point of these are to create drama within the television show, it also does highlight some accurate steps that would have to be taken when such casualties occur. One basic rule of thumb shown in Greys Anatomy, but also applies in real life is to act early. This is very crucial in handling the media, because news reporters will be on site sooner then expected, and the earlier someone within the organization can put a statement out, the better things will be handled. Nothing is worse then lettin...
