Category: Alright, I’ve got to be out in the open about this, to hopefully shame myself into better performance:
I’ve been slacking off since the London residency.
I didn’t really intend it to be this way, it just happened. I didn’t do the pre-reading for Managerial Effectiveness, nor did I do the assignments for Accounting. I did attend the ‘live’ distance classes this past Saturday, and was able to participate in ME. Having thought a lot about my career in the past 2 years, I have a lot of thoughts about performance/motivation issues without needing to read about other companies and their dysfunction! Accounting for leases, capitalization, and whatever else was talked about in Accounting…might as well not have even heard the lecture!
Clearly, this is not something to brag about. Since Saturday, I’ve caught up in ME by listening to both pre-recorded lectures, commenting on the “Folly of incentivizing A while hoping for B” article, and reading the “Butter Beater” Unilever case study. We have the assignment due tonight in ME for the Unilever decision point and to pick temporary teams. This assignment should be in the bag, but I don’t want to get ahead of myself.
As for Accounting? #$!^%#! I read chapter 10, still don’t understand what the heck is going on. Need to do the assigned problems/cases, hopefully that will get me back on track. I’ll probably go back and listen to last week’s lecture as well (glad they are recorded!) And of course, I still have to do this week’s work before Saturday’s lecture, lest I fall behind for another week.
So there it is, some honesty for a gloomy Wednesday.
