I cant believe we are at week 10!! That went fast and now its 1 to go and I am done with my MBA. It truly cant come at a better time. I am currently living change management with my own company, with organizational changed currently in the process. They are doing all the things we are learning about, and it was ironic to read about it and then listen to the President say it. We have big corporate meetings with updates via the intranet weekly by the President, monthly one on ones with management and quarterly updates.
The skills I learned will assist me in moving through this change management, but it also makes me skeptical. I dont know if there are changes or a different approach I could have taken, I am communicating and expressing myself, but my own manager never listened. I am in a holding pattern just working and doing a wait and see.
I will be applying for supervisor positions once these are posted as part of the change, I will use the communication skills outlined in the course.

Hello everyone,
Congrats on our last discussion board! The company I am the CEO for was just bought out by an investor I found in order for everyone to stay put and keep their jobs. It went very smooth accept for some bumps in the road that happened because the new owner wanted to be a hands-on but not present owner. It is very hard to have an owner who wants to make all the decisions but is only here for 15 minutes a week. I tried my best to make decisions when they had to be made and he was unreachable. However, some things he told me, he would change his mind after the fact and make things very difficult. Everything I learned in this course has been enlightening in regards to the change. I think the only thing I could have done differently was made him put his decisions in writing However, he doesnt like to give me much of his time so that would have been hard but I think I would have made him answer some of the employees questions and be more present if he wanted to be so hands-on.
I have already took pride in being a very honest and upfront person. I was happy to see that was important in a leader and in change management, to be transparent. I will apply all I learned in my future when it comes to managing others and leading change of any sort. Kotters 8 steps for change will stick in my mind as a useful tool when facing a major change.
