Jobs (ch.16-35)
After finishing off Jobs, I decided to link our reading this week to Steve Jobs and his personality. Steve Jobs was a known perfectionist. He rejected the an IPod prototype because in his opinion it was too heavy and he wanted it smaller. When the engineers told him there was no more room to make […]

The three behaviors that serve as a roadblock are inability to delay gratification, procrastination, and emotional self-absorption. I most relate to procrastination and emotional self-absorption. With procrastination, I tend to […]

Steve Jobs (ch. 1-16)
Reading this book has reminded me of one of the videos we watched in week one- Why by Simon Sinek. I found Walter Isaacson’s portrayal of Steve Jobs inspiring. To be honest, I am inspired by many of our top and famous CEO’s. They prove that it is not always how well you do in […]

Humphrey (ch. 7)
I really enjoyed reading about Tony Hsieh’s story and how Zappo’s came to be. I can personally attest to how working with friends and people that you enjoy working with helps shape your experience in the work space. My first job out of high school was a server position at a small, family owned coffee […]
The Prince
I found this reading to be more difficult than the other reading assignments. I tried to think of what Machiavelli was talking about from a political standpoint and apply it to HRM, because HRM is my major and my internship this summer is in HRM at the Navy Yard. In chapter one, Machiavelli talks about […]
