Welcome
This being my first attempt at blogging, I hope I can produce an "appropriate" introductory entry for Management 250's newest assignment. Thus, I find it fitting that this entry predict and outline my goals and aspirations for this semester of human resource education.
I have recently learned that I am an "accommodator", and according to the Learning Styles Inventory, this makes me a difficult person to deal with at times. People of my style are described as leaders and risk takers who enjoy influencing other people, but also waste time on "trivial improvements" and "meaningless activity". Although the results of the Meyers-Briggs Type Indicator are pending, I plan on taking these alleged traits of mine into consideration as the class moves toward the Human Resource Simulation. I plan to make myself as accessible a teammate as possible, and feel that through these self-assessments I will be more aware of my strengths and weaknesses.
I am interested and excited about the Human Resource Simulation because it is an overwhelming amount of information to be absorbed and tested in such a short amount of time. I think this exercise will speak volumes as to the strengths of my peers and will bear strong relationship to the case, "The Strategy That Wouldn't Travel," as I'm sure every team member will come in with some theory carried from another situation. This will truly show which strategies will travel.
I am also looking forward to becoming better acquainted with my classmates and instructors and am looking forward to a busy semester.
Happy blogging!
Libby Robinson

To me, it is fitting that you are an "accommodating" learning style type, since my experience of you has been of someone who is driven to take action. This impression holds for each class comment I have heard you make and for our conversation about study abroad! That's pretty wild for me to consider, in fact.
At any rate, I especially enjoy your comment about tapping into the diversity of experience and perspectives among your teammates. I believe that the HR Simulation is intentionally too elaborate of an exercise to be completed by one person-- hence the teamwork component.
I look forward to your future posts, Libby.
