Damien talks about Indigenous Business Month which is a legacy of the Murra Program which Melbourne Business School runs. Damien in his role as Relationship Manager with Kinaway Victorian Indigenous Chamber of Commerce and the video he is working on. He discusses his interaction with another student on the Social Responsibility and Ethics assignment and his finding another resource from Brown University.

The Managing People class was an information overload lecture. Damien found the class information intensive in the slides and content. There were class exercises around how we use past experience and knowledge/ heuristics to solve problems (one of the exercise problems was on Die Hard With a Vengeance in the park).

The takeaway from the class were the modern Motivation Theories which are Goals Theory, Consequence Theory, Justice Theory and Self Determination Theory. These now supercede the old Motivation theories as Maslows Heirarchy of Needs. He learns what Negative Reinforcement is where it is about taking away a negative impact on performance.

The Self Reflection was how in the workplace we ourselves or another employee performed poorly and how that was approached around feedback. The most notable reasoning most went to was it being the result of extrinsic reasons as to intrinsic reasons.

The Syndicate work has a Project due on the 26 November but we need to have our topic in as soon as possible, but then also have a mid term assignment due in week 6. We also discussed what technology we will be using as a team for the assignment. It was agreed by the Syndicate we use Slack for communications and Google Docs for document control.
