There are certain steps in the decision-making process to be completed when deciding how to go about the choice made.

    In my previous position I was responsible for managing a small team of 8 in a high volume retail store. Due to the small team and high work volume, many of the team members had established a close friendship. This team comprised of a combination of new and original team members. This team brought both a combination of youth and enthusiasm, and maturity and professionalism to the team. Due mainly to the retail environment, the store has always had a high turnover of team members, but the store has always comprised a combination of both new and training team members and experienced team members.…

    To communicate the information effectively from the Vice President of Communications to the team, an appropriate channel would be a face-to-face conversation. The client is new to the company and in a meeting the team will be able to discuss the parameters, deadlines, and the client. The meeting ensures the team is aware of the client’s criteria. “Face to face conversation scores the highest in channel richness because it transmits the most information” (Robbins & Judge, 2011). The appropriate channel to communicate back to the vice president can be an electronic email. The e-mail can use bullet points to sum up the team meeting, direction and goals. The vice president will be able to send check in emails at different points during the follow-up on the strategy. “E-mail messages can be quickly written, edited and stored” (Robbins & Judge, 2011). Due to a one week timeline, time spent arranging a face to face meeting would take precious time out of the short deadline.…

    I decided to return to school for personal reasons. Returning to school is something that I have thought of doing for a very long time. I guess you could just say that I have been very lazy and procrastinated for a long time. I tried to go to college right out of high school but it did not work out. I don’t think I was quite prepared to make that big step. I was headed down the wrong path and decided it was time to do something with my life. I knew it would help me to grow as a person. I now find myself in sort of the same situation. I’ve been a cashier for 18yr and now I work hard every day loading a Goodwill trailer to support my kids I know that without a collage education that most likely will not happen. I also want to be a positive influence to my children and show him how important education is. I want to be a good influence to my son and daughter but most of all I want to better myself as a person. Plus most of all I know in 4 to 5 yr. my fibromyalgia will not be getting any better. By that time my R.A. in my back will be getting bad, I still have 8 yrs. left to support my little girl. I know I can’t do it working on…

    This is a decision that I regret to this day. My grandmother did not raise me to be to a “quitter” and I disappointed not only my family who was so proud and happy for me to get out of the neighborhood but also disappointed myself. I feel that by going back to school will increase my financial situation in two ways. The first way is by having a degree in business I can obtain various positions in the workforce that require my expertise, rather than be confined to just one particular job. By obtaining my degree I feel that it will place me in a situation to have a career rather than just a job.…

    After careful thought and consideration, I made the desire to return to school into a realistic goal. I had finally come to the conclusion, that it was time to take control of my circumstances, rather than continue to let my circumstances control me. For the first time in twenty years, I have a window of opportunity to fit a degree program into my daily schedule. Returning to school had always been a desire of mine, but in the past, I did not think I had the time or the money to pursue a degree. I was a single mother, I was working all of the time, my children were very young, and half of my wages went to daycare expenses.…

My best friend recommended Syracuse University (SU), and I decided to applied. Getting accepted to Syracuse University was a blessing – it was my second chance to freedom.

    By the age of 25 years I was a mother of three children. I attempted to enroll to a few vocational colleges to be either a respiratory therapist or to work in the administrative area within the healthcare organization; it just did not work out with the kid’s schedules. At the time I was not ready to change my lifestyle in order to pursue my degree. Over the years I have learned so much about parenting and early adulthood responsibilities. Today, I have grown into an independent and a much wiser adult. Here I am 20 years later, mother of three children, after a few attempts to going back to school to get a better education to increase the possibilities of getting a better high paying job to help financially support my family.

    My decision on returning to school was based on numerous reasons. I am currently working at a convenient store in my hometown, where I do not have any medical insurance or retirement plan. I got to thinking real hard about my future, what I wanted for my life. Where I work now there is an older woman that work’s with me, is in her seventies and still has to work because she made the decision not to have an education to fall back on. Many people doubted my decision to go back to school, because they thought at 32 I was too old and would not be able to manage the responsibility. After a lot of thought about returning to school, online college was my only option since I have 2 children and a fulltime job. I did extensive research and found many online schools that had good credentials and fit the career path I was interested in; eventually I chose Ashford University.…
