My name is Alexandra Shaffer, and I've been asked to create this blog by my Management professor at Baruch College this semester. Hopefully I'll be able to add something of value to the topic, and fellow managers out there.
A little bit about me... I'm currently attending Baruch College for a BBA in Industrial & Organizational Psychology, while working full time for a Human Resource Consulting firm. I like to challenge myself and strive to be innovative in the process. I enjoy creating new things, as well as taking old products or concepts and updating or improving them. I like planning out projects and carrying them through to completion.
I'm interested in theories of management, leadership, human behavior, goal setting and accomplishment. My short term career goals are not particularly fascinating, but ultimately, I would love to own and operate my own high end restaurants one day. I'm a foodie above most things - and I think I would thoroughly enjoy combining that with business experience and creativity... I also don't mind the long hours if I'm enjoying it.
If you were wondering, I came up with the title for my blog while reading what I found to be a timely quote:
"The best way to predict the future is to create it. " - Peter F. Drucker
