I most admire person is Mandela, the leader of South Africa. South Africa team just won the game competing with France yesterday in Soccer World Cup. It was great game. And coincidently, I just watched a movie about Mandela on my way flying back from China last month, and I love that movie too. It talked about how Mandela led the South Africa Soccor team defeated England team and gained their Championship in world cup after a long time down. He is an amazing leader. He is courageous first, secondly because of his strengths, and thirdly becuase he had a vision.
Leaders were seen to be courageous in terms of saying and doing what they believed in despite the consequnses and the opionion of the crowd. They chanllenge the stautus quo. Because of Mandela's strength, not physcially, but mentally, he led the country going through the governing transition smoothier. It looked like one of his natural charactors. This strength manifested itself in his belief and valuses, vision and determination to carry out this vision, also influence and reassure his followers. In other words, the good leader has making decision skills. Mandela were described as vsionaries with a passion and determination to follow a vision that they could articulate clearly. He showed strength and was far ranging.

Project Management Week 1

The spring program was over, and now i am back for summer section. Still with so much interests, I would like to learn more about MBA. However, it will be tougher, so many courses registered in summer, I hope I have enough time and energy to handle it. Project management is the discipline of planning, organizing and managing resources to bring about the successful completion of specific project goals and objectives. It is sometimes conflated with program management, however technically a program is actrually a higher level construct: a group of related and somehow interdependent projects.
Once you have planned your project, turn your attention to developing severals that will enable you to be successful. Goals should be SMART- specific, measurable, agreed upon, realistic and time based. Specific-well defined, clear to anyone that has a basic knowledge of the project. Measurable-know if the goal is obtainable and how far away completion is, know when it has been achieved. Agree Upon-agreement with all th stakeholders what the goals should be. Ralistic-within the availability of resources, knowledge and time. Time based-enough time to achieve the goal, not too much time, which can affect project performance. I think my goal is very SMART.
