Everyone and everything has strengths and weaknesses. INFLUENCE AT WORK is no different. That being said, this is my first job outside the Animal Welfare industry and have a ton to learn in terms of my professional development as well as Dr. Cialdini's 40 years of research to catch up on. This learning curve has definitely allowed me to see the many strengths of the group rather than the weaknesses.
One of my favorite thing about working at IAW is the environment. My last job was all backstabbing and drama. At IAW everybody gets along. It helps that there are only 4 of us in the office, but it is nice to work in such a relaxed welcoming environment. Further, they also do a good job of not over extending themselves. There is only 3 people in the office because they have streamlined their process, and minimized costs. They also have been doing this work for years and years, so they have perfected their art through trial and error.
Like I said before, I think it is too soon for me to say one way or another how I would run the company differently. It is especially difficult as the purpose of the company is to assist Dr. Cialdini and market his research. That aspect is going to have to be left unanswered for now!
P.S, I apologize for the short, picture-less post! I have been so busy during work, and with other assignments in the evenings that I haven't had the chance to do much else!
