I've finished my
research paper and presentation on Friday! In retrospect I think it was a long but
dense process of reading articles and analyses of Jeffrey Bezos and the route
he took in conducting Amazon. Other than learning about Bezos and Amazon, it
taught me a lot about the most up-to-date business management methods he put
into practice. I personally admire Bezos’ avant garde and unconventional
approach to his businesses which were very distinctive from other leaders of
enormous corporations. Perhaps his pro-innovation and optimistic character has
made him a huge figure in the field of business management. I've always thought
that as a leader with heavy responsibility and authority, being too optimistic may
deprive his/her trust from the entire group. But apparently, Bezos has proved
that relentless optimism also has positive effects by making it act as a
prompter of motivation within his organization. Moving back to the
presentation, I was really nervous because it was first presentation this term
and I forgot to mention a couple of important information that I was initially
planning to share. However, while presenting I decided to rather appear like I’m
enjoying and forget about the mistakes I made. I wasn't really confident
throughout the presentation but my friends told me I didn't look like I was
anxious so maybe having a smile is vital to have a positive feedback from the
audience. I think it makes people appear more passionate about their
presentation as well.
Before the whole
RW course started I had some interests in business management so I am sure the
contents we learned in class and the new facts I learned through my research
paper would be very helpful in my ensuing studies. We all have different topics
but they all have the common theme of leadership, which is a big concern of
business management, so I’m looking forward to the coming presentations!
