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!
