TOPIC
Part A
Before posting on this Discussion Board, please read through this description of grief from “An old guy” on Reddit. Reflect on what you read.
The “old guy” writes:
As for grief, you’ll find it comes in waves. When the ship is first wrecked, you’re drowning, with wreckage all around you. Everything floating around you reminds you of the beauty and the magnificence of the ship that was, and is no more. And all you can do is float. You find some piece of wreckage and you hang on for a while. Maybe it’s some physical thing. Maybe it’s a happy memory or a photograph. Maybe it’s a person who is also floating. For a while all you can do is float. Stay Alive. In the beginning, the waves are 100 feet tall and crash over you without mercy. They come 10 seconds apart and don’t even give you time to catch your breath. All you can do is hang on and float. After a while, maybe weeks, maybe months, you’ll find the waves are still 100 feet tall, but they come further apart. When they come, they still crash all over you and wipe you out. But in between you can breathe, you can function. You never know what’s going to trigger the grief. It might be a song, a picture, a street intersection, the smell of a cup of coffee. It can be just about anything… and the waves comes crashing. But in between waves, there is life. Somewhere down the line, and its different for everybody, you find the waves are only 80 feet tall. Or 50 feet tall. And while they still come, they come further apart. You can see them coming. An anniversary, a birthday, or Christmas, or landing at O’Hare. You can see it coming, for the most part, and prepare yourself. And when it washes over you, you know that somehow, you will again, come out the other side. Soaking wet, sputtering, still hanging on to some tiny piece of the wreckage, but you’ll come out. Take it from an old guy. The waves never stop coming, and somehow, you don’t really want them to. But you learn that you’ll survive them. And other waves will come. And you’ll survive them too. If you’re lucky, you’ll have lots of scars from lots of loves. And lots of shipwrecks.” (Reddit, 2014)
In your initial post, please address the following questions:
Is this an accurate description of grief, in your experience?
What is an example of a “piece of wreckage” that you have or could hold onto?
How does reading this help someone who is grieving (if at all?)
Part B
In addition, read over the helpful tips in the module. In your initial post, please answer the following questions:
List
Three things you can do to help someone who is grieving
Answer the following question in two or more sentences: What is something on the list that I think would have actually helped me when I was grieving and why? OR, if you have not experienced any significant grief, what is something on the list that you think would actually help and why?
Remember to answer all questions in your post.
GRADING FOR DISCUSSIONS
A portion of your grade is based on participation on Canvas discussions. Much of the course material that you will be tested on is delivered through written lectures. To better understand that material you must regularly read and contribute to Canvas discussions. This process will help you master the course material and prepare for quizzes and exams. In addition to posting your own comments, you must reply to at least two other students’ posts for each discussion. Discussions are worth 20 points: 10 for your initial post and 5 for your first two replies. In order to receive full points, you must follow the instructions above.
CIVILITY IN DISCUSSIONS
Although you are encouraged to share your point of view freely, when posting to any discussion, you must remain civil. We all know how easy it is to say something online that you wouldn’t say in person. Please think twice and don’t post anything hurtful to anyone. Since we will be discussing communication, people may share things that are personal and there is a good chance that you are going to read comments that you don’t agree with. Any sort of hostility, insults and name calling do little to communicate ideas and have strongly negative effects on our efforts to learn. Let’s start with kindness and compassion and treating each other with respect.
Alexis:
After reading the “Old Guy”. I feel his description of grief is accurate. From my experience of grief, I have felt waves of emotions as the years go by and the day of that loved one’s death can be very difficult. An example of a piece of wreckage for me would be photographs. An actual photograph that I can hold in my hand is what I like to return to. I think this article may help someone who is grieving by letting them know grieving is ok and natural. It is a hard thing to go through and there are people around you that love you. PART BThree things I could do to help someone grieving are listen to them, offer supportive things to help with like bringing over food, and let them know I care for them and I am here for them if they need me. What is something on the list that I think would have actually helped me when I was grieving and why? Something that could have helped me in a recent loss of my grandma would have been for my close family to give me time to actually grieve. I felt like they expected me to just move on with life and get back to the normal tasks of life. i.e, cooking, cleaning, etc Although losing my grandma was not a sudden loss, It still is a loss and it would have been nice to take a lil time to grieve without the expectations of family. -

I have provided the requirements below. I already completed Part A: INTRODUCTION
Throughout your career in IT management, you will be asked to develop and improve a company’s IT department to help support its strategic goals and mission. When a company develops a new strategic plan, the process typically begins with the chief executive officer (CEO) and various stakeholders writing strategic goals, with the assistance of subject matter experts (SMEs) from the business. Next, these strategic goals are finalized and assigned to team members and others who will formulate solutions to achieve the goals within a specific time frame and budget. Then, the team creates operational goals in alignment with the company’s strategic goals and an operations plan. Finally, a workflow is developed to move from the current environment to the future state.
For this assessment, you will create an IT operations plan from the provided strategic goals in the attached “TreasureChest Case Study.” The case study should be read before beginning this task. The attached “IT Operations Plan Template” can be used to complete this task.

Performance Management
Performance Management System (PMS) effective examples are as follows:
In the first example, At the start of this year, a company introduced a performance management system for its employees. The system utilized the SMART goal technique to assign specific goals to each individual employee. Furthermore, every quarter of the year, employees received feedback to help them evaluate their performance. In addition, two training programs were organized during the year to provide developmental opportunities for the employees.
Regular feedback, clear goal setting, and access to developmental opportunities are crucial components of an effective performance management system. This system can have a significant impact on organizational performance by promoting employee development and engagement. When employees are provided with these elements, they are more likely to be motivated and committed to their work (Doe, 2020).
In the second example, and to be more specific, a development team has been given an assignment to develop a new product to gain market share. To help the team improve and work better together, we could try gathering feedback from all directions using 360-degree assessments. This can help us understand our strengths and weaknesses as a team. It’s also important to encourage everyone to collaborate with people from different areas of the company and share knowledge, as this can help us come up with new ideas and solutions. When we review performance, we should make sure to recognize and reward people who take risks, think creatively, and solve problems in innovative ways. As a result, A successful product launch can be attributed to various factors such as improved team cohesion, diverse perspectives, and a culture of innovation. When a team works well together and has a shared vision, it can lead to better results. By bringing together people from different backgrounds and encouraging new ideas, a team can foster a culture of innovation that is key to success.
In order for an organization to make the most out of their performance management system (PMS), they need to keep a few things in mind. First, they should ensure that their performance goals align with their overall objectives, so that everyone is working towards the same bigger picture (Locke & Latham, 1990). Additionally, the PMS should be used not just as a tool for evaluation, but also as a way to identify areas where employees can improve and provide them with the necessary feedback and training. It’s also important to establish a culture of open communication where managers and employees can discuss performance throughout the year, not just during annual reviews. To ensure fairness and transparency, clear performance criteria and measurable objectives need to be set, and consistent evaluation procedures should be followed. Finally, the integration of performance management software can help streamline processes, facilitate feedback, and track progress(Boxall & Purcell, 2016).
