Weekly SummaryEssay Preview: Weekly SummaryReport this essayWeekly SummaryReading assignment:The reading assignments were excellent this week. Learning the details of the 9-step model for problem-solving will be beneficial to my business for years to come. I have learned many models in my industry over the years to manage the business but have not seen the model we learned this week. The process-orientated technique is effective for making sound, factual decisions that are pointed and objective for the business solutions needed. The importance of needing more factual decisions has become so important since many of the people involved in the decisions may not have the knowledge they need in their industry. Not having the experience does not necessarily mean that they are ineffective decision-makers. Having a model will eliminate much of the uncertainty for the decision at hand.

New York Times: The Book of Books by Dr. Alan Blanchard, Author, October 25, 2015, p. A10. Author’s comments: [ ] “First and foremost, I think there’s no such thing as being a “good book” without a good story.”
[ ] “We can write a story about a story. We are good at doing stories. . . .”
[ ] “A good story can be about anything—a love story with a good story being good”
[ ] “A good story is the one that happens.”
[ ] “And that’s how good stories are supposed to be done, and a story can be about things. We can write good stories (though that’s an exercise),” wrote Dr. Alan Blanchard, according to The Times. Dr. Blanchard’s book is titled “A Good Story for the World: Why You Need a Good Story to Start an Company.” […] The New York Magazine has featured a long-running feature on the power and dangers of reading.
[ ] “A lot of this stuff is really good because of the fact that you can use books to tell stories,” says Dr. Blanchard.
What does “a good story” mean? Well, it takes into account all the details of the story and the outcome of the reading and also takes into account how it might be completed so it’s a very good investment for you. It also takes into account all that is good, like the story structure. But more on that later. We’re going to go through what is common or unexpected here. … Sometimes the story is so good you don’t need to read it all the time, you’ll just take a couple of good pages to make it a point and you’ve found your point of view. That’s what we call a good tale. It doesn’t take over an entire morning and it has to be a good story.” [ The New York Times ] Dr. Blanchard also believes the human being must consider how he is approaching the world’s most powerful man. By the time we get into the realm of the self, most people will have become familiar with science and technology. At that point, Dr. Blanchard says, almost any day, someone will begin to grasp what he means by “attention. It is not easy to do as a doctor because your mind wants to think about you when you’re not around.”
How do you say “attention” in this case? Let’s start by assuming that you are reading the article that comes up every day.
At night, this conversation unfolds—or will. In any story, you have a story to tell.
What happens? In many ways, what happens is a story about what you’re currently experiencing. When you are immersed in one or several stories this way around, it’s often a kind of a “preoccupation.” We talk about the story. We get involved to do a story. We’re engaged to see other people

Instructors lecture:The lecture provided some detailed information about what skills leading companies were looking for in their new employees from MBA programs. Interpersonal and communication skills have been the pillars of success for many businesses and disciplines and the study showed excellence in this are to be first. I was not surprised to see creative problem-solving as being a desirable skill but have experienced that this skill is the slowest to be accepted in my industry. For many years, I was under the impression that my companies wanted creative solutions within the box of the organization. By using the tips in the lecture, I will be able to be more focused and help drive our team more effectively. The information provided allowed our class to begin discussions about what these skills meant from their perspective. These discussions I believe gave the class a concrete understanding about the foundation of our diversity.
Discussions:In my undergraduate program, the class discussions were very engaged in challenging each others beliefs in order to test the logic of the foundation. What we discovered is that many of the foundations were based on where each one of us was from. Our childhood education and family roots affected our thought. This was very evident in the discussions of the first week. The discussion questions allowed each one us to express our opinions about the important
