Gates Foundation HQ Mangagement Specials Post 5

"The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in a person's determination." (Tommy Lasorda)

Is your group determined to do a great job? Can you keep your team motivated? Those are two things you need to make sure you do to keep your team going.

How was today? What were some things that got done? Next week, I will have the cameras for those who are doing a video, so be ready to shoot. Have a great weekend.

my group is determined to make this project fun and do a good job. the thing that is keeping my team motivated is the fact that we're going to make a video and have our own talk show, everyone is looking forward to having fun with that and the other thing is even though it doesn't look like much now we are working hard and in the end our project's gonna rock. the the two important factors to keep my team on task are have fun with it and keep your eye on your goal. today i got alot done i got all 6 facts as well as 3 pics and i got the web address for all of them. micheala and sidney are helping with the wiki pg although i have not seen it yet...i've been very busy working on my own part

I have been trying to keep the team motivated, and it seems to be working. Today we got some of our project done, nothing is wrong. All goes well!

I really liked the quote today. Its so true. If you want to do something then you should set your mind to it. You shouldn't think of the impossible b/c then most likely you wont succeed . If you do set your mind to it then you will succeed. I believe that my group is determined to do a good job. We all want to do well on this project and earn a good grade. I also believe i can keep my team motivated, it's kind of hard however, b/c Emily has been sick so much and she'll be here and then not here, and Jacob isn't here today. Its not there fault and i know that, it just slows our group down, b/c we don't have as many people to help out. But i believe we can do it. Today we're going to work on questions, we have 6 so we split them up among Jillian, Emily and I. Since Jacob isn't here. Also we were looking for some pictures for our power point and the slides. Well thats about it! Cya on Monday! =] you have a good weekend too!

For the third day in a row the resercher is doing un-productive things with the computers. We would like to know if you could make sure all the computers were charged because we went through two computers that shut down.thanks.

The quote means that if we want to do good, we can do whatever is possible. We are very determined, infact, we plan on getting a 100%. I try my best to keep my team motivated, and i guess its working. We are flying by, in fact, we're almost done with our wiki. We're doing great!

My group is determind to do a good job and I keep them motivated by telling them that they can do anything that they put their mind to. My group did great today. Crystal and Danielle worked on the wiki page, while I finished typing the answers to the questions in the way that we are going to display them on our poster and cut them out with the sissors that have the designs. I also printed pictures of France in color and cut them out with the sissors that have the designs. I already have the poster board and this weekend I am going to start the final poster. So far, we have had no problems and I hope that we won't in the future, either.

I think that most of my group is determined to do a great job. Some of us are goofing off a little to much, but others are working very hard. Today was good. My group and I found all of the answers to the six questions that we had! Karissa Hornberger
