Comportamento Organizacional - 06/08/2013

Anotações em Sala de Aula

• Cuidado com simples análises comportamentais, devemos sempre levar em consideração a realidade de um, os paradigmas daquele ambiente/pessoa.
• O “clima” influencia no comportamento das pessoas. Vide Pirâmide de Maslow.
• Na análise do comportamento, tenha o discernimento de se colocar no lugar de seus líderes e liderados.
• Cuidado com o seu estado de espírito no momento da análise comportamental, assim como deve ser levado em consideração o estado de espírito das pessoas.
• Numa equipe há a tendência a existir as “Eminências Pardas”, aquelas pessoas que exercem influência nos outros sem necessariamente ter “poder”.
• Uma característica de um líder é a assertividade. Que tem relação com quão objetivo, coerente, e verdadeiro é o líder.
• Feedback é importante para a equipe, pois é uma forma de manter o “tune” da mesma.
• O tempo muda o comportamento das pessoas... Isso é normal... O mundo muda, as pessoas também. Afirmar isso parece ser óbvio, mas repetir o óbvio é importante.

Inglês - 03/08/2013

Good night everyone!

Two new words on my vocabulary:

• Stubborn
  Someone who doesn't accept new ideas, or doesn't change his mind so easily.
  E.g.: Oh God! You are so stubborn!
• Translated: cabeça-dura
• Jealousy / jealous
  I hard ever use this word, so I ended up forgetting it's meaning.
  Someone who deserves another person things, or, someone who wants to control another person.
  E.g.: Fulano is so jealous!!!
• Translated: ciumes, ciumento.

FYI (For Your Information): Remember, we cannot use the word "educated" when referring to someone who is "polite", you use educated to say that someone went to kindergarten, then to school, college.....

See you!

Terms About Entreprise Systems

Reading Martin Fowler's book, Patterns of Enterprise Applications Architecture (link to buy on the references), I read some terms the author used in the context of Enterprise Applications, which I reproduce here.

• Response Time
  It's the amount of time a system takes to complete a task or request.
• Responsiveness
  It's about how quickly a system acknowledge a request as opposed to processing it.Latency
• It's the minimum time to get some response of the system.
• Throughput
  It's how much stuff the system can cod in a given amount of time.
• Load
  It's the statement of how much stress a system is under.
• Load Sensitivity
  It's a expression of how responsive time changes in relation with load.
• Performance
  It's either, performance (common sense), or throughput, depending on the case.
• Efficiency
  It's performance, divided by resources.
• Capacity
  It's an indication of maximum effective throughput or load.
• Scalability
  It's the measure of how adding resources affects performance.
• Vertical Scalability
  Means adding more power to single server to achieve better performance.
• Horizontal ScalabilityMeans adding more servers to achieve better performance.

About these topics, it's important to enforce the following point:

• Responsiveness
  It's sad how programmers - in general - don't care about it. A system, part of it, or even a screen with low responsiveness, decrease the User Experience, and sometimes it could cost the name of a hole system.
