6 weeks of Intro to Management have come and gone. There were techniques to be learned, rules to be sure to follow, and obstacles to be reviewed. However, in the whole, I personally do not feel that a management class is a class that can be taught in a school setting. A lot of the things we've learned can be broken down into intuitive reactions and, as long as the individual realizes what he/she is doing, can be seen as practically common sense. Sure, my grade for management might not reflect this, but it's hard to have the urge to study for something that should be obtained through trial and error, through experimentation, and through experience. Of course there are subjects such as TQM. Asking someone what TQM means, they most likely may have no idea. However, ask the individual what some of his standards would be for his/her own hospitable establishment, and a "continuous quality improvement for guests" is almost not worthy of mentioning due to it's common sense. That is where my grade fails to be a good one, applying names and labels to techniques, that, frankly, seem obvious and, well, not very teachable unless through trial and error.
