Summary

Clyde D. Rhodes Sr. is presently working as a work study at Davenport University, while simultaneously working on his bachelor’s degree in business management. Clyde’s ambitions are to achieve success, not only for an organization, but for all of its stakeholders. Clyde believes all should be treated with respect and admiration. He believes that no one can fail or succeed without effort.

During his teenage years Clyde worked on a dairy farm, where the lessons of hard work and a job well done were learned. Clyde has remarkable work ethics that he learned from several different individuals in his life, especially his dad. His work ethics include dedication, determination, honesty, courteous to people, critical thinking, ambitious, analytical reasoning, problem solving and volumes more. Clyde entered into the United States Marine Corps and after four years of service, he was discharged with an Honorable Discharge in 1986. While in the Marines he learned and displayed many leadership traits, including, “Leading by example”.

He took these work ethics with him when he enrolled at Davenport University, where he graduated in 2008 with an associate’s degree in business management. Clyde displays deep compassion for all he meets. Clyde helps out everyone he can, and admits he is still leaning.

Clyde is evolving from manual labor (Blue Collar) work to management (White Collar) work, while retaining his roots, meaning not forgetting where he comes from and what it took to get to where he is now.

Clyde relates work techniques to flies, for fly fishing. There are several out there, but which works best and why? There are techniques that will reap the best performance and others that look pretty, but do nothing else. His philosophy is, "Find the right one, and if you cannot find it, then develop one".

He was inducted into the Sigma Beta Delta Honor Society and has just won one of the Heart and Soul awards from the Michigan Campus Compact for 2010.

Clyde was the award winner for the, "Student Leadership Recognition Award" for the Caro, MI Campus for Davenport University in April 2011.

Clyde is eager to help your organization succeed in its journey to commit to great services and outstanding customer satisfaction.

This is a skill that is utilized throughout one's life, and is under rated. Conecting this skill on a proffessional level I utilized problem solving in ther Marine Corps to aid in completing our mission and to influence the well being of the Marines under my command.

 

Problem solving is an essential tool in any organization today. Without it, task cannot be accomplished and problems will overflow into serious matters. This tool will also help retain efficient employees and maintain a sufficient supply of motivation from the employees.

Icon_word_16 Down East Spud Busters

Here is a case study that reflects my thoughts and decissions pretaining to the similar responsibilities of the job desciption in which I am applying for.

Abstract

The Down East Spud Busters (DESB) is a cooperative of potato growers that are originally collected, weighed, wash, graded, bagged, and distributed. They originally represented the potato growers of eastern Canada and northern Maine.
We know what the results of the strategic planning was the construction of a large manufacturing plant in northern Maine. The main purpose of this plant is to manufacture and process higher value-potato products.
This is only the first of three phases they intend to implement. Meaning, we will start out the organizing for the north eastern region of the United States and parts of Canada.
The things that will be covered are organization charts, the use of decentralization, financing the business, sales and distribution, and components of human resources, such as hiring and training of employees. The use of a corporate ethics officer, along with stewards in all branches of the organization will also be covered.

Abstract

Just imagine that you are waiting to hear news of a loved one involved in a major

tragedy. What you are really wanting to hear, is that your loved one is alive, still unsure of their

condition, but relieved that they are alive. Three hours latter you get more news, but it is not

reassuring, in fact it is totally devastating. This is what you hear: “Sorry, but the first report was

wrong, your loved one is dead".

This is exactly what happen January 3rd, 2006, when thirteen were thought to be alive, but

in the end, twelve were dead and one was in critical condition. How could of such a big

misunderstanding have taken place?

Coal is dangerous to mine, but it is a needed resource, so coal mining will definitely

continue.
