Discussion Week 3

So, this week is all about how to manage the most precious resource in business: people. And, as you can probably imagine, this is a HUGE area with a variety of topics that we touch on: management, leadership, motivation, human resource management. Here are some SUGGESTED (but by no means exhaustive) discussion topics:

Do you know a leader? What makes him or her a leader? Do you think YOU can be a leader? Why, why not? What gets you up in the morning? What motivates you to do the things you do? Are you dependent on external factors or are you driven by internal forces? What do you think about "equal opportunity" employment practices? Are they always fair? Finally, companies have mission statements. Do you have a mission statement? How do you think a mission statement can help you to live a more focused and ultimately a more fulfilled life?
