Henley: MPP - Managing People and Performance

The second journey was related to managing people and performance, one of the hottest but very lovely topics inside organisations. On the other side, I was very happy to see again my buddies, to discuss interesting things and to make some team exercises with my learning team. I got to meet my tutor also. A nice person, we had a discussion and she provided us good tips how to succeed and how to approach learning for an MBA. 
Dr Ann P. - Workshop professor- presented us a very structured material, with a lot of interaction and very actual cases during the 2 days workshop. It could be easy seen, she knows what it means dealing with people and performance every day. During the lunch, I had a very interesting discussion with her about performance in different organisations and the role of HR in promoting it. She made me proud when she told me that my company (she worked with) is very open and concerned in engaging people and promoting processes in improving performance.
I got back home with a lot of thoughts how to deal with the assignment. Because of a large context and many theories, I have to think wisely how to approach the work. I think I will take the first step to read the material and structure the knowledge on a separate paper, maybe commenting the main theories, afterwards taking care to draft the ideas for assignment. As elective, I have chosen the "Highly Effective Teams" because during my normal work I lead teams and I am interesting how can I exceed the expectations. About the idea of the assignment, I have some thoughts about it and I think I will deal with motivation, HR development strategy and globalization to one of my clients, all three factors that brought the company on the wrong track for further development in dealing with economical competitiveness (a fundamental problem for which I will propose drastical solutions). 

It is a lot of work but I need to plan it wisely to finish it in time and to bring it to the required quality. I feel I can do a good work here for which I can be proud also because the material and the very good explanations from inside can not invite you very much to do it wrong. I have just to give some attention and impose me some discipline, especially that the current MBA work has to find some place (besides normal business) among so nice winter holidays that are approaching. 

P.S. I have decided to prefix all titles with Henley, where are articles about my current MBA.
