Climb Every Mountain. A Personal SWOT Analysis

Climb Every Mountain. A Personal SWOT Analysis will help you in identifying your own Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats. Once you know all of them you have to climb your own mountains to improve your strengths, reduce your weaknesses, maximize your opportunities and minimize your threats. All mountains are important as they provide valuable lessons to continue to re-evaluate your personal SWOT and climb your next mountains. Life is a continues adventure going up and down. Enjoy the journey and the views.

Focus and Re-focus. Team and personal projects.

This is an updated color version of our old “Focus, focus!” drawing. It is still relevant when forming teams or working on personal projects.

Teamwork is vital in any organization and productive meetings are very important in team dynamics. Meetings provide the ground to move from one stage to another. In the forming stage we have to brainstorm and find the proper direction to fulfill our team objectives. It is time to focus and find the lighthouse to ensure a safe navigation. This was our first meeting to find the focus to bring more underrepresented high school students to the computing disciplines programs offered by our college. This picture fits in any forming team. Focus, focus! (Feb 2009 – http://www.managementadventures.org)

Our Next White House Manager. 2016 Color Update

Presidential Primaries in Florida 2016. Eight years after the original drawing about our White House’s next manager. A new President will be elected and we still have storms. An updated color version shows the shades of stormy seas and cloudy days. I voted in the primaries and I will do it again in November. I voted for the first time in 2008 and I know my responsibility as “American by choice”. Let’s vote!

The second part of our fall term starts during the last two weeks of the presidential campaign. After several weeks of financial storms, our nation is getting ready to elect our next president. We normally say that great captains are tested during the storms and that great leaders are tested during a crisis or emergency. Our next White House manager has to be a great captain and leader to be able to bring our nation to safer waters. Remember to vote. This is one of the best rights in the USA.

It is time to vote in the general elections on November 4th. It is a huge responsibility to participate and elect our next president, other public functionaries, and to decide on several amendments. Our decisions are important and the weight of those decisions are heavy. The “I voted” sticker represents the weight of our decisions. It marks us for doing both our duty and our right to vote. The “Early Voting Site’ sign shows us that we believe in our electoral system. We can vote before and know that our vote will be counted. Please remember to vote. It is heavy but you will feel lighter after voting. My wife and I voted for the first time in a US presidential election and we feel great and grateful.

Undercover Professor 2.0

Undercover Boss TV programs widely discussed in the Capstone course were the inspiration to create the Undercover Professor series. You can watch first videos in www.drjosechannel.com in Undercover Professor playlist.  Several managers in FSCJ and other organizations were interviewed in a casual, impromptu and almost “undercover” way to know their biggest management challenge.

Now we are starting a new series of interviews with same question plus extra “undercover” questions. A new color version of our classic cartoon will open our 2.0 series. New videos will be feature in our Global Learning News channel (www.globallearningnews.tv)
