TCU’22 Comunications Major

@dylarnette I think using drones for delivering is super innovative and ground breaking but there also can be a lot of downsides. The drones themselves definitely cost a lot and it might not even be worth the cost if they can only deliver one package at a time.

[Cooper Bates @CooperBates13]

@becker_reece Even though the article mentioned a lot of downsides to using technology in the workplace, I think the effects on the workplace as a whole have been met positive. Technology has made it so easier to do business and operate at large scales for organizations.

@OrgCommChat I think my strengths for leading diverse groups is my ability to be open minded and respectful of peoples’ different opinions/beliefs. I would like to learn more about what to takes to lead in these kinds of diverse settings.

[Cooper Bates @CooperBates13]

@becker_reece I agree, Bill Gates definitely has a special kind of ability when it comes to creating success and impacting the behaviors of employees.

[Cooper Bates @CooperBates13]

#COMM10A Chapter 11 talked about Transformational Leadership and how it brings about change in the behavior of employees and the overall culture of the organization.

[Cooper Bates @CooperBates13]

@JackBre61456863 I feel like Bill Gates is one of the first people we think about in regards to successful individuals. His leadership qualities definitely play a huge contributing role in his company’s success.

[Cooper Bates @CooperBates13]

@RyanCor96110221 I completely agree, Ryan. Being able to create a standard that causes employees to aspire to be the best they can be is a great quality to have as a leader.

[Cooper Bates @CooperBates13]

@OrgCommChat I think focusing on image can be really helpful for ones future. A key aspect of my personal brand is that I’m kind and respectful of others. I feel like this simple kind of values like these stand out the most to people.

[Cooper Bates @CooperBates13]

@AnnaOBr09449307 Companies work to create a brand by creating products and services that provide a mainstream appeal to all kinds of people. Big corporations like McDonald’s and Coke are popular all over the globe because they provide something that everybody wants.

[Cooper Bates @CooperBates13]

@BriGonzalez23 Diversity, equity, and inclusion are important in shaping a company’s culture because it creates a culture and environment where people feel comfortable and included. I think Committing to these kinds of values can really increase performance and the overall quality of a company.

[Cooper Bates @CooperBates13]

@tabifranco @OrgCommChat I think there’s so little women firefighters because it’s a occupation that many people think is only suitable for men. Assumptions that women are incompetent and not capable of these kinds of jobs are the reason why it’s 96% male. This stigma needs to end in order to change it.

[Cooper Bates @CooperBates13]

@OrgCommChat The first Jurassic park is always a great watch. This is a tough decision but I’d have to say my favorite movie of all time is Forrest Gump.

[Cooper Bates @CooperBates13]

@JackBre61456863 Resistance is inevitable in these kinds of situations. The best way to to handle it in my opinion would be to convince employees that the pros outweigh the cons regarding to whatever change is taking place. This way the employees can understand why this change is so necessary.

[Cooper Bates @CooperBates13]

@OgrenAnnie Although I’ve never been in this situation, I can’t imagine how difficult it might be. I think its important to prioritize the organization over personal emotions which may not be the easiest option, but it will most likely produce the most positive results.

[Cooper Bates @CooperBates13]

@OgrenAnnie I do think it is necessary for employees to maintain surface/deep acting because I think it says a lot about one’s character which stands out to employers. Showing your boss that you can be faced with adversity and still perform as expected is definitely a good quality to have.

[Cooper Bates @CooperBates13]

@drewgonz2 but from the article it seems like Tesla is seeing positive results from their problem solving organizational culture.

[Cooper Bates @CooperBates13]

@drewgonz2 I think Tesla does a pretty exemplary of this since they are so known for their innovation and creativity. Because of this, it’s probably a good idea to have their employees also thinking of new ideas. There are risks in this as it could result in employees becoming less focused

[Cooper Bates @CooperBates13]

@jameson_evie inclusive workplace will help them grow as well.

[Cooper Bates @CooperBates13]

@jameson_evie I think they will succeed because all 5 of the future practices explain how focused they are on growth and group-improvement. With this growth mindset, I think they can be successfully be a functioning post-pandemic organization. I also think them creating a diverse and
