DANIELLE:

My name is Danielle Jammer and I am currently pursuing a degree in Occupational Safety and Health Administration because I wanted to work in a field that focused on helping people and keeping them safe in the workplace.  I feel that this course will help me in achieving both my personal and professional goals in life because it will instill the knowledge to administer a plan that I need in order to work with employees and the company by obtaining resources needed to get the job done(Principles of Management. p. 2). 

Strategy is a plan that is used when a company faces a certain situation, for example when competing with other companies so they can achieve it’s objectives and have long term success.  I was privy to a manager at a previous job who used good strategy when we were faced with having to pass a very importan state audit.  The manager set up a set of guidelines for our team to follow on a daily basis and ensured all the resources we needed were available which enable us to achieve our goals and pass the audit.
