Blog Posting #6

In Reference to the article posted on Blackboard "Simulation Shows What It's Like to Be Boss".

This article posted some interesting ideas that tend to not be evaluated in most workplaces. While the CEO of the company overseas many tasks, he misses out on a lot of the more important ones that people below him take care of. He Might get a briefing of sorts, but it certainly wouldn't be like actual meetings. Placing Mr. Tabloski in a role of a top executive corporation give him a chance to see a different point of view. An experiment was conducted, running a fictitious company for one day, using projections to be sought out for 3 years. With boardroom conferences, meetings, etc, the NetApp company (run by Mr. Tabloski) gives managers a better understanding and trains them appropriately for the company.

  1. I think that putting yourself in their shoes as they say it, is a great way of also teaching students if the opportunity was available. I don't think that one day is sufficient enough for an individual to real feel the pain and write a comparable piece on being a CEO. I am sure the CEO task are many and may change from day to day requiring you to have very flexible skills and dedication to your company. Maybe University's should focus on CEO's positions and not entry level internships for students.
