I've just finished watching The Apprentice result show on tv. It was the 3rd season and finally the final contestants are females. Go girl power! (hehehe). There was no doubt that Bill Rancic and Kelly were indeed clear winners from the start. However, that was not the case for the 3rd season's finalist.Between Tana and Kendra, I can seriously say that Kendra deserved to win the game due to the leadership style that had inspired her workers. Nevertheless, if Tana had treated her workers well, I would say that she had an equal chance of winning the job too.
The way Tana handled the whole thing during the final task was really disappointing. When I found out that she was one of the finalist, I was actually rooting for her to win. Finally, an underdog gets to show that she too can survive the corporate world. However, she showed some very unprofessional attitude during the whole task that really was uncalled for. In my opinion, she could have addressed the matter in a better way rather than belittling her workers that way.
On the other hand, the way Kendra performed through out the game shows that she was truly capable in handling the challenges being thrown her way. The way she strategised the project/sales has indeed shows how smart she is in targeting her idea through. Even though she was being pushed by Craig for the final half of the show, she managed to rise up and shine her way through it. And that was indeed a superb move on her part.
Looking back at the Kendra-Tana's situation, it seems to show that people management is the key to a successful business. How many of you believe that that is true? I, for one, have to agree with Kendra's management style. According to her, she loves to inspire her workers in order to get them to believe in her and in turn join in her dream to see the project through. I have always believe that being able to communicate with your colleagues/subordinates is one step closer to achieving your goal. Furthermore, gaining respect from them would be an added key that can push it all the way through the finish line.
I have been a huge fan of the show since the first season. Watching those people go through the tough job interview really drives me to think that with great determination anything is possible. All you need to do is just to generate those determination through the right channel to keep you on track.
What do you think?
binx: what's with Trump and pink ties?

I think the quality of Apprentice candidates in Season 3 is unacceptable. Most are pretty clueless and I am not sure they are the real face of Corporate America.
But then again, The Apprentice is essentially a TV show.
I'm a tana fan. Throughout the show, she was exceptionally great with her brilliant ideas and the way she treated the others when she was the project manager. Even when she's not the PM, she was still inspiring. i really hope for her to win but something went wrong at the end, she seems like a different person. BUT! i still have to say she got a tougher task. (same as kwame got a slightly tougher task as compared to bill but they both did well).
*biiiilllllllllll...........
hear,hear! i totally agree with ya binxie.. and i was a huge Tana fan from the beginning..so it was SO mega-disappointing to see how she handled that final task, which brought to her downfall in the end...i didn't like the way she kept trying to defend herself for the mere sake of defending at the end either...
I'd always thought Kendra was bitchy and bossy, but in the end, she displayed more compassion for people, and that got me rooting for her to the finish line...
the kimster:
i have to agree with u on that dude.. most of them are pretty clueless.. however, how sure are u that they dont represent the real faces of corporate america? *winks*
rostam effendi:
hey thanks for the kunjungan balas..
ur kids must be very ambitious to be following TA. i bet they would have picked up a pointer or two..
teek:
well dear i think the tasks are equally tough. however, it's how each of them approach the task that made the difference.
ah.. kwame.. one of my fav. candidate.. pitty that he got stuck with the b*tchy Omarosa til the end..
marinadelrey:
yeah.. the way Tana acted during the result show was very errmm how shall i put it.. "kampung". I was glad to see Kendra holding her composure and gave the credit to Tana and just let Tana embarassed herself in front of the world.
dSaint:
renovating the mansion is kinda cool jugak aa dude.. hehehe.. however, i would say an experience u get organising the miss universe pagent would be priceless (for all the right reasons laa).. *winks*

i have to agree with u on the "class" point. she does have class. the way she dress, the way she talks, walk, think... everything lah..
finally someone agrees with me about the pink tie.. he needs a fashion consultant laa.. all those money in the world and he still buy a pink tie!!!!
pink karer ok waatttt...
he needs to change the hairdo tho ;)
Kendra is smart, and have what it takes to be the manager. Tana, on the other hand, is a brilliant marketing person with brilliant ideas. Since Mr Trump is looking for a leader more than a marketeer, I would say that Kendra has an edge over Tana.
Having the advantage of knowing Kendra would win since end of April -bummer on the spoiler!-, I watched the show by observing what is it about Kendra that makes her the ultimate winner. I would say, yes, it's The Class.
And I think she makes the right choice by choosing that mansion renovation project. She's experienced in real estate,so which else would be a better foot to start on the fast track, if not the one where she knows she will shine the most? :)
Binx,
Maybe, maybe not. Sangka baik *grin*
