Threshold

If we are able to "expect the unexpected"(-SideKicks Movie) we wont feel over burden. Of course there will be sometimes that the unexpected and expected challenges can happen. At that time we could feel like we can't take on those challenges alone, it is okay to ask for help. And that is okay. Sometimes, when darkness falls and there is no light, a little help and a smile is all that is needed. It is important too to manage ourselves and the issues that arise in which we need to face. Of, course I am not an expert about this. But I know that if all things are structured in a organized manner, then there can be less stress everyday. Each choice we make and each chapter in which we finish could help us push the threshold of dysfunction higher and higher. Let see how high we can push it up.

Mission Statements

As we started to discuss what each group mission statements should be. I started to think what would be the core of the statement. What would we stand for, how would we implement those beliefs and values into the consulting work we would do.
I feel that we should be honest in our dealings with the clients. A mission statement is just more then words it is the backbone of any company, firm, group or team. It is the cornerstone of a group. After the mission statement is formed then the group can build up upon that mission statement and establish the foundation of that certain team.

Stakeholders

In our last class we discussed how stakeholders can affect work performance. Through out the class we brainstormed and found out there are many stakeholders in our lives. Whether it is a religious affiliation someone belong to. Or if it was the accountant in the accounting office that makes sure that the company did not go over their budget.
There are a lot of different areas of life that helps us determine what and whom our stakeholders are; at work, at home and with friends. I think if we learn to know what stakeholders are important to us in those areas, then we could assert ourselves to be effective and active in those roles. This is how we can optimize each sub groups in our lives.
