Hey Group #3, here is one last blog post for the road...
I want to thank you all for a really great semester. I just had my final meeting with Feinberg and we went over the comments everyone made. I see a lot of places where I need to improve and I really appreciate your honesty.
I also completed my evaluations of all of you and the grade should be posted within the week, if you have any questions about the grade that I gave you, please feel free to ask me. I feel that I was very fair in my evaluations.
We were one of the highest performing groups and it was all because of your hardwork. Thanks again and if you ever need a helping hand, feel free to call me :-D

Group Memo
Hey Group #3, so here's the scoop...
So as of now, the Group Memo is following the exact criteria on the syllabus. The Group Memo has to be over a recent article, published within the last six months, from a business newspaper or magazine. The Memo has to be an evaluation, again, of leadership.
If you have any articles in mind, let me know. If I don't receive any feedback, I will be sending you an article by no later than sometime Saturday. When you receive this article, you will need to read it and outline key points. You will also need to write a brief summary about why this article displays leadership. All of this needs to be completed and sent to me by class time on Monday the 12th. If you do not send this to me, it will reflect in your participation grade for the project, since I will be asked to give out a participation report for this project.
We will be meeting after class on Monday, when we usually have our Monday meeting. Have ideas formulated at this point, because I will ask everyone to contribute. If you are interested in stepping up and being the one to type the paper while people give ideas, then please let me know.
I realize this is a very tight time frame for completion, but all groups are under this kind of pressure, so let's just control what we can and do the best job possible in the amount of time allotted. You are all expected to be at the meeting on Monday, if you cannot, you have to tell me before Monday and we will work out an individual meeting time with me.
If you have any questions let me know, I will be going home this weekend, but you will still be able to contact me. Have a great weekend and see you all of Monday!

Great Job!
Hey Group 3!
I just want to congratulate everyone on a job well done! Out of the 15 members of our group, 11 members were either mentioned as having a good or great paper or got a quote in the large document he sent out earlier today!
I am so proud of you guys and all of the hard work you did! I would like to recognize these individuals in particular:
Beth
Katie
Jeff
Michelle
Evan
Cassie
Kelsey
Sam
Jenna
Goang-sug
Maggy
Thank you for your hard work and contribution, Feinberg has noticed, I've noticed, and now Rick will also notice.
We all have room to grow, but I wanted you all to know how extremely proud I am of your accomplishments (you can even ask my roommates, I've been over here complimenting you guys out loud)
There are two pieces of business to care of for tomorrow:
1. Please know your grade out of 300 for tomorrow to give to me, so that I am able to get an average for our group
2. Bring me a print out of your schedule for everyday of the week, including any times you are not available, such as work. I will start to work towards finding a time when we can meet. Rick is supposed to give me more detailed information about the group memo after class tomorrow.
Thanks again for all of your hard work! Group #3 is definitely a force to be reckoned with!

-Please read the instructions on the test VERY CAREFULLY. According to Rick, you will put your name NO WHERE on the exam, except a signature on one page.This is just what I have been told, so these aren't official instructions, so make sure that when you get the test you read it very carefully

-I'm going to set up a more effective way of getting everyone's information, so that it is as painless as possible finding a time when we can all meet

Test, I Inc, and Notes
1st and foremost, I would like to address the test.
- the test WILL be on the Wednesday after Spring Break during class time, that's the 24th of March
- there will be NO Study Guide
- the test format will be 10-15 essay questions
- it's going to be over the two books in the syllabus
- you can locate the ship book here: http://www.cfs.purdue.edu/richardfeinberg/csr%20309%20spring%202010/ship/
- of course, standard testing rules stand as follows: no hats (or hats backwards), no sunglasses, and absolutely NO CHEATING
I very briefly wanted to make a note about the I Inc. Brochures. When the team leaders had the meeting after class yesterday we were given our teams average score on the I Inc. Brochure project, our group's average was 84.68%. We were the second lowest scoring group out of Rick's 9 groups. I do believe that our average will be much higher for the Individual Memo, but I want to let you guys know that in addition to being watched by Feinberg, we are also being watched by Rick.
And last, but of course not least, here are the notes from this week of classes:
Monday
- children's book "Stephanie's Ponytail"
- In 30 years from now, you will regret more the things you didn't do than the things you did
- You must be able to constantly change -> to achieve success you need a response of change
- 3 important things: change, principal, and choice
- If you get people to buy into common goals/ principles, then the leadership is already done
- have a vision for this class
- Most people wait to form their vision until they are in a crisis situation or at there lowest point, this is not necessarily the best time to do so
- Have one thing, and that's the only thing that matters
Wednesday
- What would people say about you at your funeral? Teachers? Friends? Family?
- What does this mean about you and your behaviors?
- Pat Carigan, prime example of Auto Labor vs. Management
- Used to be psychologist
- Pat doesn't know about autos/auto parts, she just created an environment where people can make parts
- people select for expertise, not positiveness and then wonder why everything is so gloomy, but it's because they selected for expertise and not positiveness
- supporting, enabling, empowering
- Pat Carigan's "thing" is people
Have a great Spring Break!

The Secrets to Leading Others
Feinberg's 5 Easy Steps
1. Tell them what you expect: If you want to head North, tell the, you want to head North
2. Make it doable: Train people to do what you expect them to do
3. Reward them: important and cheap to do
What do people want? don't assume what they want! National surveys say that people want full appreciation of a job well don, feeling "in" on things, and to feel like you care about them
4. Give them feedback
5. When they have done what you want, reward them again
Other things I wrote down during lecture...
-15% of employees can identify top goals and priorities of the organization
-Front line produces the bottom line
-19% or 1/5 of employees are passionate about organization goals, employees feel no ownership
-51% of employees do not understand what they are supposed to do to execute goals
Info about KIPP...
-students in the KIPP schools spend 70% more time in class than other public school students
-"The Contract" is an agreement between teachers, students, and parents dedicating themselves to the long hours in school and homework that KIPP requires
-Teachers at the KIPP schools make the same amount of money as students a regular schools, but they want to teach motivated students

Welcome Group #3
Hey Group #3! From now on, all communication will take place through this blog. If you need a refresher on due dates or group goals, this is the place to go.
So here are the list of things that we mentioned tonight and please feel free to comment and add your input:
1. Individual memo is due to Feinberg via e-mail on March 10th. If you want me to evaluate your work, you have to have it sent to me by March 7th, or you may choose to have a peer evaluate your work. If you chose the second option, you must CC me on the e-mail so I can give you credit for taking the initiative to have your work evaluated
2. As we also discussed in our group meeting, we are amending the Group Goals to state that your work does not need to be edited by me, that you can choose to have your work peer evaluated, I just need to be informed of this decision
3. We will be meeting every Monday for 10-15 minutes to discuss any topics of interest of future assignments. If you have an issue that you want to discuss in the meetings, feel free to mention that to me and we will address them.
Okay, so I am including the criteria of the Individual memo at the end of this blog.
See you all on Wednesday and Boiler Up!
This is the set up of the Paper, there is no length requirement. You just need to follow Feinberg’s wants as far as the papers structure is concerned and that will put substantial length in the paper. Just make sure you have a good first paragraph that has an introduction with an attention-getter (such as a question, quote, or scene), then essential background information about the topic, and a thesis statement. Also good transitions are necessary along with a concluding last paragraph. Tell your kids DO NOT summarize the movie do an analysis and provide feedback on what you learned. I copied what Feinberg wrote and posted on the internet server.
*VERY IMPORTANT: All work should/must/needs to be submitted by email as an attachment to **xdj1@purdue.edu* * with the correct subject line (unless specified differently). When you submit by email you must put the proper subject heading. You also must include your name(s) on actual paper (not just in body of email message) to insure credit.*
*Individual Memo* Film Analysis. Select a recent (last 12 months) movie. What do you learn about leadership? List of non-acceptable movies to follow. Email with “IM2” in subject line. It is important that you don’t simply provide a summary of the movie but do a leadership analysis. What is the leadership issue in this movie?
1. First paragraph- Have a point that is on target to assignment
2. Last paragraph- concludes the point
3. Transitions between paragraphs- support the point Paragraph structure
4. Spelling
5. Use resources- Have someone who can write and be honest with you read your work before you turn it in. Be prepared to write a paper at least three times. Use the writing lab or someone.
6. Have pride in your work since it is a reflection on you
