Professor Klinkowstein

Observations
Rick, the vice president, was very energetic and
nice. He did not say one mean thing but was well
respected in the office. He had a decoration in his
office that said “Make it Happen”. He said that it
inspired him to do his best.
Nick Perez

Professor Klinkowstein

Observations
Paul kept talking about how he gets mad that
one of his co workers always asks him if the
boss left yet. At the meeting I attended, these
two were arguing and nothing got resolved.
Nick Perez

Professor Klinkowstein

Observations
Paul's inspiration was his penguin because it
reminded him of his daughter who loves
penguins.
Nick Perez

Professor Klinkowstein

Observations
Karen, a short woman with red hair
always talked in an aggressive voice
and it seemed like she always got her
way.
Nick Perez

Professor Klinkowstein

Observations
The other workers don’t really talk to her
because her office is in the corner and she is
also very sarcastic. However I did ask what
inspires her and she said her plane. She said it
reminded her of her dad who was a pilot.
Nick Perez

Professor Klinkowstein

Observations
Mr. Tadlo, the boss, has a great
relationship with all of his workers
especially Rick and Paul. They joke
around and listen to each others ideas
but at the same time they have fun
Nick Perez

Professor Klinkowstein

Observations
This is an example of how being nice can
create good relationships which leads to a
better workplace. He also has something
that inspires him. A cardholder with golf
decorations that his son gave him.

Cheer Chew
Cheer Chew is a flavored Gum that contains a
small percent of laughing gas in the center which
is dispersed when chewed.
Nick Perez

Professor Klinkowstein

Cheer Chew
The laughing gas creates a rise in the sensation
of happiness. It makes the brain think more
innovatively instead of being negative and close
minded. The gum could be used to relieve stress
in the workplace.
