I find that if i leave the situation i can reasse what the problem is

Short, module somewhat hard to manage but offers good advice.

Long but really some great ideas.  Very down to earth strategies for managing one's own attitude and energy.

I have utilized some of the strategies discussed with some success...i.e. Breaking students into small group activities, walking to the back of the classroom. I may try to reassign back row to the front to see if this is effective.

Self Assesment is a key mangerial tool which should be used by everyone.  

Very Informative.  Will definitely utilize the tools provided.

I have learned from this exercise that we deal with different personalites and situations. The main goal is the delievery of how we approach the goal. first, analyze the situation. If we don't take this in consideration, we jump too fast and can lead to defensive situations. Second, is the planning of the delievery. Know when and where to approach the individual in a ideal area where no other workers are around 

leadership should be set by example.

We all need to manage our time at work. I know it takes time, practice and patience. We also need to set working patterns.

Visionary managers as  both mangers and leaders should have knowledge, relevant behaviors, passion and vision of a better futiure state of existence to the company they mange and lead. 

It is always a good practice to be aware of how to best approach a supervisor.

The manager sets the tone for the dept. A manager with a strong work ethic shows by example how the employees are expected to also act.

The realisation that people follow what is modelled for them is a fundamental yet often overlooked truth. This makes me catch myself in moments where I may have fallen short of being an example that I would want to follow.

When teaching my nursing students I have implemented a new step in the medication process.  This is for them to compare the allergies of their patient with all medications ordered for the patient.  This allows them to evaluate if the allergen is contained in any of the medications.  For example:  Tylenol # 3 ......... may be ordered but the novice nurse could overlook that that means the medication contains Codiene.  This may seem a little more tedious but it does increase the safety for the patient.  This is a change by adding a step into the medication administration process. 

Slow down and be sure to understand what is being asked of me.  I have noticed on second read, my first impression of the situation was kind of off.  By reading a secondtime I save a lot of time.

There were many tips that I found effective. The most important one is daily looking at your priorities and helping others manage their time to have a better work life balance.

It was also a great time to look at time wasters

and procrastinating on projects you do not like.

Getting to know your boss and what is expected of you is very important and will help you succeed at your job.

This tutorial makes sence in that when evaluating yourself sometimes I will underevaluate myself but when I think about it this practice has probly held me back from ebtter positions in the workplace. But from now on I will stand back and evaluate myself with a new way of thinking.
