BUS 520-SU10 Organizational Behavior-Reflection: Strengthen Others
Write a blog entry each for the following two scenarios:
1. Think of a time when, as a direct result of something a leader said or did, you felt personally powerful and capable. Write down the actions the leader took that contributed to your feeling powerful, strong, capable, and effective - the master of your own experience. Be as specific as you can.
2. Now think of a time when you felt powerless, weak, and insignificant as a result of something a leader said or did. What specifically did he or she do?

I remember one time when I was working in TW, we got a big project with a large enterprise. Since our company was small and still growing, lots of the time, one needs to do many different jobs. at the time, I was assigned to go over client's locations to set up our system. I was really nervous and scared inside. My boss seemed notice I was freaking out of the sudden assignment, he said to me "I believe you can do the job successfully, don't let me down" and hit lightly on my shoulder. At the moment, i deeply feel that I am Powerfully, strong, capable, and effective. I got full trust from the Boss. This encourage a lot..!!!
There is one time, I was talking to a customer regarding an issue. We were discussing for a while, can't come up a solution. Suddenly, my manager interrupt our conversation and said to me"Jimmy, I will take care from here, you are free to leave". This made me felt bad, I felt I am so powerless, weak, and insignificant. I hope ,my manager can give me a little more time, I know I can do the job.
BUS 528 Project management.-Chapter 9&10
A project manager is the person accountable for accomplishing the stated project objectives.
Key project management responsibilities include
-creating clear and attainable project objectives
-building the project requirements
-managing the triple constraint for projects, which is cost, time, and scope.
It's very difficult sometimes for PM to balance between Quality/time/cost. How to make deliver a quality project, on time and within the budget is the essential of being a PM.
Chapter- 10
Developing a High Performance Project Team
1.Prepare the Project Environment
Publish the project mission statement with clearly expressed terms of quality, quantity, and time
Identify the 3-5 key project-focused tasks for which each member is responsible and also include a team-focused task such as "teamwork"
Clearly define each team member's key task expectations regarding performance toward project goals with a range of measurable performance levels so they can self-monitor their performance progress.
2.Prepare the Project Member
look for people with diverse perspectives with the right combination of skills, knowledge and experience.
3.Prepare the Project Manager
PM need to communication with each of your direct reports on the project team on a regular basis.

BUS 528 Project management.-Chapter 7&8
Chapter 7
How close do we estimate the resource in the project compare with in the realistic is the fact that could cause the project No go/delay/fail.
of course it is nearly impossible to calculate like 100% as in the realistic. but what we can do is to have adjustment during the monthly/quarterly meeting. This is one way to make sure everyone is on the same page, know the project progress.
Chapter 8
How to estimate the time to complete is critical, here are some ideas.
Identify Deliverables
Break It Down
-Project Planning
-Design
-Testing
Add in a buffer
There are of course few uncertain factors. But The more time estimates you do, the more accurate you will be.

BUS 528 Project management.-Chapter 5&6
Risk management is the identification, assessment, and prioritization of risks followed by coordinated and economical application of resources to minimize, monitor, and control the probability and/or impact of unfortunate events[1] or to maximize the realization of opportunities.
1. identify, characterize, and assess threats
2. assess the vulnerability of critical assets to specific threats
3. determine the risk (i.e. the expected consequences of specific types of attacks on specific assets)
4. identify ways to reduce those risks
5. prioritize risk reduction measures based on a strategy
We are actually taking the risk everyday for everything. There are always some uncertain parts for everything tasks. However, to understand and learn how to reduce the risk, minimize the risk by using above methods is very helpful.
Cheapter-6
The Work Breakdown Structure is a tree structure, which shows a subdivision of effort required to achieve an objective; for example a program, project, and contract. [2] In a project or contract, the WBS is developed by starting with the end objective and successively subdividing it into manageable components in terms of size, duration, and responsibility which include all steps necessary to achieve the objective.
WBS gives us an overview of the project structure, tasks assignment and is really helpful for PM to plane the schedule/track the project process, also helps organize and define the total work scope of the project.
