The Vibe of the Day - July 18th

Today we had two double period lectures. One called Politics of Enterprise, and the other Management Theory in Practice. I probably don't speak for the whole class when I say this, but I quite enjoyed them!

Politics of Enterprise is all about ethics and law in business - at least for the first half of the course. On the other hand, Management Theory in Practice is all about the different kinds of management styles and has three sections: organisational metaphors, organisational effectiveness, and leadership.

I'm pretty psyched about the MTIP section on leadership. I find that whole topic fascinating as there is often a very deep and personal journey of development that has to occur before one can step into their full potential as a leader. I heard a quote once that put it quite nicely: "before you can lead others, you must first lead yourself". And that's why I'm here in a way.... Yippee!

Then we watched an old but awesome documentary on Isaac Newton... Did you know that he was a absolute beast? I mean, this guy pretty much did 80% of the breakthroughs and discoveries that took us to where we are today, and was super famous... But had few friends. However, it was all compensated for by his love and passion for learning.

Quite an inspirational way to start the week, and I'm hoping the rest of the semester unfolds along the same tune.
