Jake Savoie posted Oct 4, 2021 12:54 PMHello class! My name is Jacob Savoie and I, like all of you, am in the process of completing my program. I must say that I am thoroughly enjoying it so far. I am not new to SNHU (unintentional rhyming is great) in General Studies with a focus in Operations Management. A little bit about me; I have been an Active Duty Air Force member for 15 years now and am currently stationed in Colorado Springs, Colorado where I work for the Inspector General’s office. For those of you unfamiliar with what exactly the IG is, I travel to different bases around the globe and inspect a variety of different programs to ensure that these bases are in compliance with the specific requirements of these programs. I am 34 years old and married with four beautiful children. My wife, Tiffany, is currently in basic training to join the Navy Reserves so these classes are definitely helping me stay occupied while she is gone! As far as a growth plan, I have never formally completed one. With that being said, I have had several mentors through my career ask what my long and short term goals. This is also a required piece of information on our annual and mid-term feedback forms that our supervisors accomplish with us. As I am a very goal oriented person, this was extremely beneficial for me as it made me think about where I would like to be on a personal level when it is time for me to retire from the military. I also used it as a figurative “North Star” to keep me on track with the goals that I identified. For example, my previous supervisor used our initial feedback as a time to give me a nudge in the direction of getting started up with school again and pursuing my program. I was able to learn from this experience that while it may be acceptable to “wing it” from time to time, it is always better to have a plan in place. A plan gives us and those we create it with something to hold us accountable against and to let us know if we are hitting the mark. In regards to measures of personal success, I can only think of one off the top of my head. As a supervisor, I usually measure my success by those that I work with on a daily basis. I look at how well those individuals are performing and are they meeting those personal goals that we have discussed and outlined a plan for them to complete. In addition, I look at if they are happy at work! I think that cohesion and actually enjoying your work family and what you do daily has a tremendous impact on productivity. I strive to make my work centers a place that my employees enjoy (enjoy might be too strong of a word, I know) coming to on a daily basis. I will say that it is a fine balance between having a fun work center and it being too fun and no work getting done or personnel feeling that they can slack and won’t be held accountable. This is a lesson that I learned early in my supervisory career.In response to at least two of your peers, address the following:Compare your views on personal and professional success.
