Strategic business decisions

DQ Response As a management graduate, you will be an integral part of several strategic business decisions. But before you start exploring these aspects of organization and management, it's time to introduce yourself to your instructor and peers. In your initial post, address the following: • Introduce yourself, including some information about your educational or professional background and what you hope to gain from this course. • Have you ever developed or helped develop a growth plan for a company, team, or yourself? For example, you may have charted a plan for where you want to be five years from now in your career. If so, how did it go? What did you learn from that experience? • Identify your personal measures of success and explain why each of them is important. In response to two peers on their growth plans, address the following: • Compare your experiences with developing a growth plan. Identify one aspect of their growth plan that you liked. • How might you measure success differently than they did? Why? Chelsey Bentz Hi all- My name is Chelsey and I am from a small town in Ohio. I obtained my Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from SNHU and this will be my first class for my MBA. I currently work for an assisted living company as the director of financial services. I am also a certified executive in assisted living and certified dementia practitioner. I hope to gain skills and knowledge from this course that I can apply to my current position and future career goals. I have created a personal growth plan. I’ve found that setting realistic goals for personal growth are key to accomplishing goals. When I started my growth plan, I had goals that had unrealistic timelines and trying to accomplish these goals were frustrating. With some adjustments, my personal growth plan is running and is on course. I’m currently working on my MBA, and I want to be completed before I get married in fall of next year. Another goal I have is to start an AIT internship (administrator in training) to become a Licensed Nursing Home Administrator. I would like to start that goal in 2022. My personal measures of success include achieving goals I’ve set for myself, impacting others in a positive way, and maintaining a healthy work life balance. My father passed away in November of 2020. Every single day, I say to myself, would my words and actions make my father proud? I continue to try to improve myself and my career everyday with my father in mind.
