Leadership or Management. But why Conform/Follow?

There are a lot of people who think they are leaders, but manage to only patronize, or act contentiously in prevocative practices that is not effective at all. These people may live their entire life without truely knowing to what capability and dynamic he or she can lead. I have possibly the best examples (All of them took place on my boat). I was on a 13ft Boston Whaler (My Own boat). I was 15 and without telling anyone, took my best buddy a road map, and a spare tank of gas and travelled to manhattan, around the south shore of Long Island. I had lights, but no radio... life jackets, but not enough gas..at one point our engine was flooded in Hell's Gate, and we had one oar between the two of us, We waited a few moments and then the 50 HP 4 stroke started right back up again. The ride home used more energy due to travelling against the current, and we decided to pull over in Venice Canal to an abandoned marina. I got out of the boat, brought my spare tanks to a gas station down the road and we were set. We were home 8 hours after due because of that ride against the current, and the helicopters in the sky we jokingly questioned in our minds if they were looking for us. They were, (That's besides the point.) What that story was an example of me managing to the dynamic of how I've handled all my previous situations. My other situation is 7 years ago (I was 19) and it was after hurricane Isabelle. and the water looked so calm like glass in the bay. I got two buddies and we went on the boat, looking for some adventurous excitement. We filled the boat up and brought an inflatable tube and headed to the ocean. I drove my first friend for the best ride of his life, the second friend the best ride of his life. They were so happy and at the same time couldn't move their arms because they wanted to hold on so tight so the ride would never end. their faces were priceless and I querried if one of them would mind driving me for a ride. Needless to say one friend agreed, but before the ride even began the friend who was driving had me on the tube behind the boat but decided to reverse and turn , while doing this ate/ caught the rope up in the propeller. The boats in the ocean, the swells are picking up, and I'm trying to pull myself into the boat. I make (Covered in lacerations from the twisting and winding rope in fused in the oceans white cap current.) My friends and I try to untangle the rope. but within moments the boston whaler (The Unsinkable boat) fills up with water and capsizes. My 2 friends panick. One is sick, and well heaves.. and the other one was no better. I'm an experienced swimmer, I've even been in situations where I've been stranded from boats in the sea before, so It was my job to assert, organize, and compose ourselves for a combined effort to attain safety. So I swim underneath the upside down boat and retrieve life jackets for everyone. The shore is a few hundred yards away and i tell them to stick together, and we swim together back to shore. My poor friends were already so exhausted from the tubing rides, and I was feeling really deprived now; not only didn't I get a great tube, but now I was out of my boat. I already expressed to the friend what he had done wrong. We sat and waited for the boat to get taken to shore. When the boat comes up shore that friend goes to the boat and finds his wallet and is very happy. Me and my other friend are baffled. We know what the true ellements/valuables which were at stake. Our lives, and safety, not our identity safety. :-( The leadership undoubtedly was egalitarian, we didn't obstruct anyone elses effort to reach safety. There were vastly contrasting dynamics of leadership with how I was loss my boat, but safe. And my friend who was responsible for the incident and didn't even become, because he wasn't aware of common sense (Like more people than I care to admit). He knew we were in trouble though, and put pride/ego in the back of his mind, and it was more of an effortless task to swim that immense distance there after the boat was totalled. He lead his anatomy and physiolog all by hisself. I had nothing to do with that leadership part. The philosphy is to live and act with the best, or greatest of intentions. This commits you to being a sucesful manager and leader in this universe.

Focus, Without Discipline, One Can't Assert let alone Focus

Here's a big deal. (OR missed deal in disastrous respect) In 1987 Lamborghini presented the vehicle the "Lamborghini LM002. It was a V12 SUV. This vehicle had minimal produced, because it was a small market for them (Mind you gas was a little less than $1.00 a Gallon back in 1987). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamborghini_LM002 .(By the way Chrysler was the owner of Lamborghini at the time, and developed this new replacement to the hummer in military and civilian markets. Then 10 years later a company whose finally marketing its eco-friendly brand for a profit "Saturn" reverses in terms of technology, and isn't organized with their horizontal divisions with matrix what Chrysler did, and ..well I don't need to say anything else . (Single tear rolls down my cheek)

Egalitarian Control Mechanism

Ok, The matrix is definitely a large company tool for delineating management responsibilities to corresponding division/branches on a level of ultimate V.(*) efficiency. You illustrated very well Priya how small company's utilize their focus on specific goals to achieve; smaller companies are more functional (Horizontal), while large company's are more matrix, both, respectful of their egalitarian measures to manifest awareness more universally cohesive manner. The effort's energy put into every action followed by though, (What came first the chicken or the egg, Reiman Hypothesis Theory) the energy isn't conserved without an altered efficiency.

Powerful Universe

Individuals have to take responsibility for their actions. I believe in Feng Shui, (As well as karma) The universe may seem coarse at times, but when entities act unvirtuously the universe swallows them in. The universe is more delicate than most assert. The universe that day was Wallmart and it returned its karma to those unefficient participants in that Black Friday situation.

horiztonal structure

I guess that's assuring that ToysRus took incentive to organize in a horizontal structure with the authorities to delegate the line situations and the security. It's also a matrix structure using the particular divisions authoritie's jurisdiction and fusing that authority with the controlling element of the tickets.

Organizational Structures

The organization structure types that several of my organizations utilize are both horizontal and vertical structures. I'm in a non profit organization and I'm absolutely volunteering, and raising money with any bit of advantage I'm capable, and prospective. I am utilizing all of my horizontal organizational structure skills. In Artfully Aware I have already received a stockpile of artwork from Uganda. These stockpiles require fund raisers, vendors, and every other possible medium formed from a divisional resource (Like a local band that lets us set up a table in their venue). The functional service is what comes last in this enterprise. We organize with other non profit organizations for providing artists with accommodations when they reach villages in Uganda so that's part of using function, and divisions to produce our matrix aspect. Network is finding some conventions through other similarly oriented Non Profit organizations.
I also am training for my blue belt to instruct in BUDOKON. That is a vertical structure. The instructor, aka Sensei, is very hierarchal.
My farmers market managing job was completely vertical structure, but I would converse with my vendors and other managers and we could read each others thoughts so effortlessly. We were so impassioned that our enjoyable experiences almost showed up how well we also were organized in our vertical structure.
My relationship with my girlfriend. . haha. was horizontal, and . now looks like it's being manipulated to be vertical with her as the ambitious manager :-/

corruption of Black Friday

First of all what are stores doing opening at 5AM in the morning, or some at Midnight (That was a conversation point at my thanksgiving dinner)? Having a store open dramatically earlier is not evolving. Management is going to be EXTRA Tired, and that means MORE unmanaged. The CEO's and presidents who come up with this store opening policy, let alone the disclosure, fine print, and 1 deal per soul item in stock (Referring to the display item) are off their hierarchal rockers. Sharon what local electric store did you go to exactly? it wasn't a big one like P.C. Richards, best Buy, or anything like that I'm guessing. That's what gets to me, the lack of concentration on innovation, and the excessive value of just the demeanor to "Have the Stones to do something so Ridiculously unmanaged, and un-beneficial." When the soul argument for the company is that it might get a customer in hooking them with an add, while they're tired and making them spend money on something that they didn't want in the first place is a profit. Well that's not providing a product or a service that benefits a customer through the exchange, that's profiting off of the lack of disciplined will, and overall ignorance of the customer through an exchange. It's not sustaining the customer which should immediately blow the whistle of ethics to the CEO that the customer is being manipulated to their disadvantage unethically, ultimately reducing the integrity of the capitalized business. The energy to wake up early enough, commute to the store, etc. is corruptible. Black Friday isn't even "IT", Black Friday is only the beginning... until Christmas is finally over. And my hatred to how unregulated Management has become is that the unsustainable practices of all Private citizens, as well as corporations are exceeding the moderate restriction of this holiday's length. All decorating, marketing, outdoing one another from years before have exerted energy 12 days of the year Minimaly. Christmas isn't 12 days, Christmas is 42 days when you just start on Nov 27th ending the last day of christmas.. and I know some start even earlier :-( . I hope you and your friend never put yourself at harms reach with this devolved management of Black Fridays.

Oppressive Universities for lack or assertion!

Mark I appreciated the direction of this class when we took the route to discuss the evolution of management. I discussed this at home as well as in class.When I raised the point of FEMA, and how it use to manage the 3 main necessities of human emergencies and it's devolution (As observed in the aftermath of Hurricane's Katrina & Rita) My girlfriend agreed, but was adamant that her (Being a teacher) is an evolving form of management. This startled me because of al of the bureaucracies she comes home complaining about daily. So I confronted on her, I said "I understand that you wish to be perceived as optimistic, but in reality you can't even make photo-copies without one administrator who is required to be present to do so." I know all teachers, and all employees WISH to be optimistic on the evolution of their management, but there's no perfectly evolving field when there are bureaucratic conflicts in every field. My specific complaint is that University of Phoenix is bureaucratic for corrupt reasons. U O P resists all formats from being uploaded except Microsoft Word. The 2 U O P's Information Systems classes I've taken the Professor as well as the curriculum ignored, and somewhat rejected my call to promote Google Wave as the "Efficient, Real, Effortless" evolution that emailing, social networking, blogging, etc all are going to fuse together seamlessly as well as evolve. The reasons I think U O P isn't taking a productive and un-bureaucratic position is because it's valuing its profits from it's contract with Microsoft more than the education preparation for its own students. I also think the reason the curriculum avoids and ignores Google Wave is because it will expose how inferior the UOP operational format is. Lets face it, if there was a perfect field everyone would be in it. But we have to make compromises, and when we ask ourselves; "What are we NOT Compromising on?" we'll see what's actually evolving, because the adaptation has been so seamless.

Management is not evolving Disputer part 3 (Rusty)

Is that it? Restaurants are going to be the staple of management in our country. This excessively obese country is having is genetically altered, hormone injected food rejected from starving nations in Africa, while we are praising the businesses who cook food for us, I don't find that virtually optimistic in a management perspective Rusty. How can you rate a restaurant's management in terms of evolution?My best friend owns a resturaunt, and I take this personally, because I'm striving to promote his malaysian resturaunt at all times in this chaotic environment. Please don't think I'm condescending. I have passionate ideals since I work in a green market, I have worked in restaurants before. The green market interoperates with an organization that donates all the unsold Goods (THE DAY OF THE BUSINESS DAY) to LOCAL soup kitchens (This is completely used as a tax write off.) When I solicit this service to local restaurants who don't always (And sometimes don't at all) purchase locally grown food I try and explain how integral environmentally evolutionary it is to conserve energy from hauling off that sustenance to land fills miles away, rather than someone can still eat it while it's fresh locally, AND GET A Tax Write Off. Your example of information flowing up and down is as un original as the "Trickle Down" theory. The company that takes food from us and delivers it to soup kitchens is called Rock & Wrap It Up. They also go to huge Sport and Music Venues (Arena's, and Stadiums) because it would be extremely foolish for those huge conglomerates to waste all of there already overpriced sustenance without excessively getting more tax incentives on it. :-/ Here's an article on Rock and Wrap it Up if you're interested. And please I'd like to know how to rate a restaurant's management in terms of evolution.

'Rock and Wrap It Up' program brings leftovers to needy after concerts, games at U.S. venues

By Judy Peet

September 27, 2009, 7:17AM

NEWARK -- When nothing is left of this afternoon’s Jets-Titans game except the lingering smell of grease and spilled beer, the stadium will have one more thing to give.

Its leftovers.

Every hot dog and burger still on the grill at the end of the game will fill a hungry belly in Newark tonight. It’s not just today but every game day at Giants Stadium, the Izod Center and the Prudential Center when unsold food that once went into the Dumpster now gets handed out at either of two soup kitchens in Newark.

And it’s not just in New Jersey but across the country, where some 100,000 meals are provided every week to the hungry solely from the leftovers from sporting events, rock concerts, political gatherings, film shoots and television tapings.

What started as an inventive way to get donations for a shelter in Queens has blossomed into a wave that will harvest 150 million pounds of food this year, according to Syd Mandelbaum, founder of Rock and Wrap It Up, an anti-poverty think tank he runs out of his Long Island home. Nobody at all familiar with his operation would argue with his numbers.

“Food should not go to a landfill if there’s one hungry person,” said Mandelbaum, 59, a self-described former hippie who is also a businessman, scientist, networking genius and mensch. “We’re saving agencies tens of thousands of dollars they would have spent on food. We expect the savings to be passed on to other services.”

Mandelbaum is a numbers guy: 45 million food-deprived people in America ... 6,000 volunteers working for Rock and Wrap ... 160 rock bands stipulating in their stadium contracts that uneaten catering food must be donated ... 31 professional sports franchises on board, including the Jets and Giants, Yankees and Mets, Nets and Knicks, Devils and Rangers.

It is a leftovers empire that provided 5 million free meals to the needy across America last year, Mandelbaum said.

That is why Rock and Wrap It Up has been endorsed by Congress, the U.S. Conference of Mayors, and the federal Department of Agriculture and Environmental Protection Agency.

The EPA citation came because reclaiming scraps isn’t just humanitarian, it’s green. The federal government estimates Americans waste 95 billion pounds of food per year.

GETTING THE BALL ROLLING

It all started at Jones Beach back in 1990. Mandelbaum, then on the board of a local soup kitchen, approached a promoter for a donation. “The guy said, ‘Forget it, but we have a lot of leftover food you can take.’”

Rock and Wrap It Up was born. The next year, an encounter with the Rolling Stones ended with the rock icons stipulating in their tour contracts that extra food be donated to charities. Other bands joined the fold.

Mandelbaum contacted venues all over the country, always insisting that unused food be sent to local shelters, food banks and pantries. By 2000, when both the Republican and Democratic national conventions came on board, the venture was so timeconsuming he quit his day job as a genetics consultant.

Rock and Wrap expanded into school and college cafeterias, with students wrapping up unused food. Sports venues opened up in 2003 after a Tigers pitcher, Mike Maroth, and his wife, Brooke, wrote asking how they could help. The Meadowlands, home of Giants Stadium and the Izod Center, got into the act in 2005.

The entire Rock and Wrap operation exists on a vast network of volunteers and an annual budget of about $450,000, according to its annual report.

Mandelbaum approaches poverty from a business model. “We don’t think outside the box; we just think of a bigger box,” he says.

That means he never stops looking for angles. When he realized government agencies were an untapped source of leftovers, Mandelbaum co-wrote the federal Food Donation Act of 2008. He launched a college program to reclaim all the furniture, clothes and books left behind by graduating students.

Now he’s courting hotels for their “gently used toiletries and half-used rolls of toilet paper.” The group also has a deal with NBC/ Universal to scoop up the surplus food from television studios and film locations.

The ultimate goal is “to eliminate poverty,” but right now, said Mandelbaum — the son of two concentration camp survivors — it is about filling one hungry mouth at a time.

Dana Dozier agrees. For nine years, he has worked as a supervisor at the Goal Line Grill at Gate C, 1st Tier at Giants Stadium. He learned to ignore the freight-train roar of the crowd echoing through the cement vendor corridor and to humor the drunks in line at halftime. But he never got used to the waste.

“I grew up in Newark. I’ve lived 19 years within a few blocks of three homeless shelters. I know what it’s like to struggle,” said Dozier, 43. “It always bothered me to throw out food that wasn’t spoiled, just not sold.”

With about five minutes left in the fourth quarter today, Dozier and his crew will begin what he describes as “my favorite part of the day.”

They will clean off the grills and carefully pack leftover sausage, peppers, onions and rolls into foil bins. Throughout the stadium, the ritual will be repeated at 40 sites. There will be foot-longs one place, knishes at another, chicken nuggets somewhere else.

The food is technically courtesy of the Jets (and, on other game days, the Giants), but it is really compliments of Aramark, concessionaire at the Meadowlands and hundreds of other arenas, stadiums and schools across the country.

It is Aramark that hires the vendors and supplies the food, said Peter Matra, Aramark general manager at the Meadowlands.

“It’s really very little extra work, and we were delighted to help,” Matra said. “It’s great that something headed for the garbage instead helps someone else.”

Aramark knows its business, which means only about 5 percent of the food prepared for Meadowlands games is wasted, Matra said. But that still means that after any game, more than 1,000 hot dogs, burgers, sausages and soft pretzels go begging, according to company figures.

The Jets’ and Giants’ home is an old-fashioned stadium, with classic junk food. At new venues, such as the Prudential Center in Newark and Citi Field in Queens, the scraps have more cachet and nutritional value. They include leftover steak, salad and sushi.

At Madison Square Garden, Mandelbaum remembers, an MTV affair yielded a hundred large pizza boxes full of leftover sushi that went to a soup kitchen on the Lower East Side.

"They made it into enough fish stew to feed the entire Bowery,” Mandelbaum said.

At the Meadowlands, Aramark workers take the food down to a loading dock, where it is picked up by church volunteers. The two Newark soup kitchens were chosen by Rock and Wrap because they both “were organized and had a strong history” of food programs for the poor, Mandelbaum said.

Mt. Vernon Missionary Baptist Church on Clinton Avenue and St. Rocco’s Outreach Center on Springfield Avenue alternate as Rock and Wrap recipients. St. Rocco’s will be receiving today. Both shared the additional bounty from the U2 concerts at Giants Stadium earlier this week.

GULLS’ FEAST

When the Jets beat the Patriots last week, it was Mt. Vernon’s turn. A quiet man named Raymond Roberts drove the loaded church van past the Mad Max landscape of postgame tailgate parties in the parking lot. Grills belched greasy smoke over acres of trash.

Already the gulls were swooping down on piles of ribs, steaks and turkey dumped by departing fans. “I wish there was a way we could reclaim that mess, but I’d be afraid to touch it,” said Mt. Vernon pastor Milton Biggham.

The church is located in a massive, Mediterranean-style villa that had been a catering hall back in the 1950s, when the Clinton Hill section of Newark was home to upper-middle-class Jewish families. The facade is crumbling, but the original chandeliers still grace the front hallway.

Two homeless shelters are within a block of the church.

The church is a “manna ministry,” Biggham said. “When Jesus fed the multitudes and he told him to take up the fragments and they took them home. That’s what we do.”

For years the church offered a food pantry but never had enough money to do more, Biggham said. It jumped at the chance to receive the Rock and Wrap food because “Jesus never threw anything away.”

Given the erratic nature of concerts and sporting events, Biggham said, the church waits until the weekend it receives the food to put a large “Free Food” sign out front. Lately, “more and more people are showing up hours ahead just to stand in line. They’re not starving, but they may not be sure where their next meal is coming from.”

He admitted that nitrate- and salt-heavy stadium scraps are not the ideal food for an inner-city population plagued by high blood pressure, but he added the church supplements the Rock and Wrap largess with such staples as rice, beans and canned vegetables.

“Nutrition is good,” Biggham said. “But a full belly is better.”

Rock and Wrap It Up is a registered nonprofit organization. Its website recently crashed, but it may be reached by calling (877) 691-FOOD.

Dispute on Management is not evolving section 2

We have to take risks to fail as well as succeed. I read an article about the poor management, and virtual deceitfulness emposed by retailers during Black Friday. I'm posting a link, and pasting it here for you if you'd like to read it. (An employee was trampled in a Wallmart 30 minutes from my house last Black Friday, and I am guessing that with this economy the management has done minimum, if anything, to correct it.)http://money.cnn.com/2009/11/20/news/economy/black_friday_doorbuster_secrets/ : Dirty secrets of Black Friday 'doorbusters' Here are a few things bargain-hungry consumers need to know before they hit stores before dawn the day after Thanksgiving. NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Here's a Black Friday reality check: Of the hordes of pre-dawn shoppers who line up for hours outside stores on the day after Thanksgiving, most will not bag the best bargains that appear in merchants' circulars. Look at the fine print that appears next to an advertised "doorbuster deal" at the bottom of the page in this year's circulars. It will either say "While supplies last," "Minimum 2 per store," "No rainchecks" or "All items are available in limited quantities." A quick scan through a few of this year's Black Friday circulars show quantities as low as a "minimum of 5 per store" on some models of large plasma and HDTVs and popular brands of home appliances such as a washer-dryer pair. Should Black Friday deal hunters feel cheated? Yes they should, say some retail experts. "It's a sleazy practice," said Craig Johnson, retailing expert and president of retail consulting group Customer Growth Partners. "I am old school," said Johnson. "If a retailer is advertising a juicy deal and they are not prepared to have in sufficient quantity, don't advertise it. Or give consumers a raincheck." Johnson said it's not enough for retailers to mention that they'll have such limited quantities of a product on one of themost-hyped shopping days of the year. "Retailers aren't winning any customers. They are just pissing off people," he said. "It's poor retailing practice." Unfortunately for consumers, more examples abound. CNNMoney.com spoke to industry experts to uncover a few dirty secrets of Black Friday deals. Limited quantities. Advertising a Black Friday deal as "limited quantities" is bogus, said Johnson. "The only time it makes sense to have only two or three [items] in stock is if the deal is on a $2 million gift product that appears in the Neiman Marcus holiday catalog," he said. Edgar Dworsky, a consumer advocate and editor of Consumer World, agreed with Johnson. "C'mon guys. Give me a break," said Dworsky. "How can you be the size of a retailer like Sears and only get a minimum of five per store, yet devote big space in your circular to advertise that deal? Sears (SHLD, Fortune 500) has not officially revealed its Black Friday sales. However, the company confirmed to CNNMoney.com that two of its post-Thanksgiving deals include a Samsung 40-inch 1080p LCD HDTV for $599.99, "Only while quantities last, minimum three per store, no rainchecks." The other is a Kenmore 3.5-cubic-foot high-efficiency washer and 5.8-cubic foot dryer pair for $579.98, "Limit four per store, no rainchecks." "Sure, you probably have more, but how do you put out a circular to millions of households and only have three?," Dworsky asked. When asked for a comment, Sears spokesman Tom Aiello said he was "not comfortable" addressing the issue of limited quantities for some Black Friday deals. Such short supply on deals are not only annoying but can also be dangerous to Black Friday shoppers. "We saw the stampede at a Wal-Mart (WMT, Fortune 500) store in New York last year on Black Friday that led to an employee's death," said Burt Flickinger, managing director of consulting firm Strategic Resource Group. "The stampede happened because so many of the deals were advertised as limited supply." One retailer, while not explaining why its advertised deals are in such limited supplies, said it is taking measures to better handle the Black Friday rush. "From going down the line and handing out doorbuster tickets that guarantee a purchase in advance of the store opening, to printing the minimum quantities in the circular, we go to great lengths to ensure that the Black Friday consumer knows exactly how many items will be at the store and whether or not they will be able to purchase one prior to entering the store," Best Buy (BBY, Fortune 500) wrote in an e-mail. What do you mean this HDTV is a "derivative?" Some of the holiday electronics with those low sale prices are derivatives, models that have a few less features than a standard model in that product line, said Dworsky. The difference can be subtle. "The image contrast ratio might be 20,000 in a derivative model versus 30,000 in a standard model," he said. "Most consumers probably won't even notice the difference." A report earlier this month in Consumer Reports called attention to HDTV models from Samsung and Sony advertised in Black Friday deals that appear to be "derivatives." The report said these one-off TVs "with unfamiliar model numbers" are usually cheaper than the standard model in their class. Dworsky cautions that retailers usually don't advertise these models as derivatives. "There's no way the average consumer will know that the TV model they are buying is not the standard one unless they are savvy enough to compare their model numbers," he said. Which Black Friday deals are online? "Many retailers will say that their Black Friday deals are available online," said Dworsky. "But they're not nice enough to tell you which ones." "How about telling me which exact ones so I can shop online from home and I'm not in my pajamas at 5 a.m. in front of your store," he said. Online deals that never get shipped. Case in point: Sears. Last year, one of Sears' hottest Black Friday doorbuster deal was on a Kenmore washer-dryer pair for $600. Even though the retailer advertised that deal to be in "limited quantities," the company decided to honor every customer order made on that deal last Black Friday. Big mistake. The manufacturer could not ramp up production fast enough. Some customers waited months before their order was shipped. Others were sold a substitute model, that was "comparable or even better" for the same deal price, said Sears' Aiello. Lesson learned. "We will not be doing that again this year," he said. Be careful if you're shopping online on Black Friday, said Dworsky. "Since retailers don't have a live inventory online you run the risk of getting an e-mail weeks later that your order had been delayed or worse, cancelled, because the product is out of stock," he said. About those rainchecks. Finally, if a retailer does offer you a raincheck on a deal, it could still turn out to be an empty promise, Flickinger warned. "A raincheck doesn't guarantee that you will eventually get that elusive Black Friday deal," he said. "Consumers can go weeks waiting and hoping, and the retailer may never get more of the product shipped to its stores."

Disputing with (H) on Evolution of Management

Heather, I will absolutely dispute you that management is evolving, for the purpose that I am passionate about the world I'm living in, and even though the only thing that remains constant is the sun rising and setting everyday, Human being believe they're superior and arrogantly control far more entities in our society than just the economy. I have one word for you FEMA. (I am not going to go down the environmental path at this moment,) I will be frank and say that all the examples of enterprises going bankrupt are not core management issues. If a company is putting forth a truly integral product, service management plan; Their core responsibility is to proceed sustainable. When an enterprise bets that innovation isn't worth an investment, and acts arrogantly that they're products or services are providing a virtuous effect, they begin to corrupt their enterprise internally. When an enterprise acts courageously, and strives for innovation, that's powerful capital (History) That company is going to be more prepared for the future conflicts it will be confronted with. Enterprises shouldn't be oblivious that people are watching the pennies they spend, and design products, services that assist them beneficially. The management should be composed to think outside of the box on every systematic element in the enterprise. The economy is independent of 90% of the 4 functions of management. The obstacles that you believe are new, are not new. Sure you can spin them to dramatize each one of them. But Depressions aren't new, innovations aren't new. People, The ones who should study and prepare themselves from the previous experiences of our trials with the effects of natural disasters, wars, depressions, and health epidemics are being fooled by bureaucracies and are uneducated on these lessons. Heather, you mention organic and the appeal for people, but what certain politicians did was "MANAGE" to redefine the word "ORGANIC" because they're spouses who own agricultural corporations like DOLE, Chikita, etc. were losing "Profits," so that's an example of how Management has Devolved. Back to the example of FEMA, they were able to respond to momentary alerts after its inception by Bill Clinton in the after effects of Hurricanes

• TROPICAL STORM ALBERTO 1994
• OPAL 1995
• MITCH 1998
• FLOYD 1999
• KEITH 2000
• TROPICAL STORM ALLISON 2001
• IRIS 2001

It doesn't take a scientist to see the horrendous devolution that took place in the management of this historic agency when it re-staffed its leadership positions and we all know what happened during these hurricanes

• ISABEL 2003
• CHARLEY 2004
• FRANCES 2004
• IVAN 2004
• JEANNE 2004
• DENNIS 2005
• KATRINA 2005
• RITA 2005

I mentioned FEMA Because this agency provided services and products that were intended to not even enhance the well being of people's lives, but only to sustain their basic necessities, and they failed on many real alarming aspects of preserving how to manage the 3 life necessities (Food shelter and clothing).

first week

Management essentially is Planning, Organizing, Leading, Controlling, & Performing all four of those management functions. Management must make every process and operation run as composed as possible. The more sustainable management is based on the merits of chemistry, morals, ethics, and innovation then the more productive the management process is becoming. Management has evolved through many leading entities. Anthropologically Management has evolved from just managing horticulutral crops to expanding society to requiring agriculture (Incoorporating the hunting aspect into a managed form of producing sustenance). Management as we know it today is not that complicated, it is presently at a mid point of sustaining our society egalitarianly, and making our lives easier (Like managing jokes). Comedy (Like other confrontational criticizm) is a reason management evolves. Without the desire to confront the status quo (With all our phyiscal awareness, our knowledge, and emotion) and boost the innovation above the ego; management would never evolve.

I very much agree with both of you how measuring the homeostasis of a managerial entity is through physical, financial dynamics. I also think that social networking dynamics are huge elements to progressing and sustaining an organization as effortlessly possible.

regulation is a beneficial aspect of progression.
I feel that the most ideal way to resist tunnel vision is to have an outside the box exercise. I practice contralateral movements with Budokon (Martial arts fused with yoga) I don't even get tunnel vision when I drive for 8 hours because i'm constantly having analytically productive thoughts and ideas.

All four functions of management impact an organization's ability for success. The functions form the composition of how management is performed, and without composition, there is confusion, there is animosity, there is procrastination. The function I know is the most important in my organization, or any organization is Leadership. The planning organizing could be done on an overwhelming dynamic or an underwhelming dynamic but for getting across social, technical, philosophical barriers the ideal function is virtuous leadership. I say this because managing and leading ethically requires courage, moderation, and justice; All three virtues. The virtue I value the most is courage. Point in case an infomercial with an organized religious leader on channel 2, and an infomercial with a diferrent organized religious leader on channel 3. The 2 entities are out to capitalize on you through donations through the same composition, but if one leader is more courageously dynamic while observing a graceful respect then the other, that one will start to gain your attention more.

germinating, propagating, cultivating through fruition. I'm a biodynamic gardener and my garden principally is effected by the astrological changes in forces of nutrients and energy. Planning is a big deal when it comes to every distinquished and characterized plant and astrology cycle.
