JUST A MOVIE

Hello world,

The rain wouldn’t stop along the day. The meeting was canceled, it’s was surprisingly only half day office hour. I hadn’t made any plan before, so I was thinking to go shopping, circling the town, have a dinner in Hanamasa until our stomach can’t load even a tiny piece of pudding.

At 10 PM we got home, as usual he (my hubby) go straight to the living room and turn on the  TV, at this time we decide to watch starmovie channel. The film already run for a quarter time, yet we consider to watch it.

It’s not a “must watch” movie, maybe you guys will underestimating my movie taste. However, I always love a simple yet light movie that will raise your smile a bit in every segment of their story. What’s so special is (I think) the movie was full of  valuable meaning which can be learned by us (especially a management student)

Here’s a brief synopsis of the movie:

New in town

“A high-powered consultant (Renée Zellweger) in love with her upscale Miami lifestyle is sent to New Ulm, Minnesota, to oversee the restructuring of a blue collar manufacturing plant. After enduring a frosty reception from the locals, icy roads and freezing weather, she warms up to the small town's charm, and eventually finds herself being accepted by the community. When she's ordered to close down the plant and put the entire community out of work, she's forced to reconsider her goals and priorities, and finds a way to save the town. After tasting her secretary's secret recipe of tapioca pudding, she decides to adapt a former yogurt production line to produce this special recipe of tapioca “

Perhaps, this is the 5 things resume (my version) of the movie, (this is really helpful if you are the management student, or at least you ate attending my entrepreneurship class)

1. The first thing to do when you lead an organization is knowing and learning their culture and behavior then adapt. Furthermore, you should adopt it into your new kind “way of leading”

2. To change one’s culture and behavior moreover to such an organization or community is not an easy way to do, all you need is to be patient and persistent until you get the result. Find the right side to do some approaches, find the most influential person at the community then make friends with them until you can communicate.

3. To be the true leader, you only need 40% of you brain and 60% of your heart, meaning that you need to prioritize the humanity, indeed your worker prosperity, family and future.

4. When something is happen not as what you expected, never give up, find the best solution to recover it or find a new idea

5. Every business has their own lifecycle, they must be mature yet declined at very undetermined time period. What to do afterwards? Do some vertical integration and horizontal integration to your product/company.

OK, enjoy your holiday class (ups, we’re not in the class?) haha sorry.

Ps: please, don’t be too serious, it just a movie ;))
