It was the best of times it was the worst of the times it was times of management throughout the world! Picture it, Idina Menzel from the Tony Award winning West-End Broadway, smash hit musical, Wicked, in the new magnificent FOX television show, GLEE singing, "I dreamed a dream in time gone by. When hope was high and life worth living. I dreamed that love would never die; I dreamed that God would be forgiving". This is the way an optimistic, and ideal establishment of any sort would run their management system. As we all no this virtually never occurs. This is a management system that only relates to Utopia.
With that said, I have so far learned a cornucopia of management basics, whether it relates to exempt, and non-exempt employees, or a democratic management style. When combining what we have learned in class with what I experienced through my externship I can make distinct connection with certain management skills, styles, and techniques. The chefs around me demonstrated there use of expert/personal power, coercive power, and legitimate power. When the Executive-Sous Chef Stephen Lyons spoke, it made everyone feel empowered due to his passion and poise when using his transformational leadership.
All in all, I am no expert when it comes to management, but I am in the process of learning a mass of information, that can only help me for all of my future endeavors!
