Now that Intro to Management class is coming to an end I am glad I had the opportunity to take this class. The secret diner project especially helped me better understand the industry. I think this assignment helped me see things in a different light. Also since our experience was not so great, it was easy to pinpoint on the negative aspects and learn exactly what not to do as a manager. I also learned that decision making and problem solving is very important as a manager. Leaders need to be good at both of these to receive the respects of both their superiors and co workers. I also think that training is very important in any industry. I do not agree with leaving people to figure things out on their own. Although at times this might be a good learning experience, most of the time this is not a good idea. It costs money in the long run and lowers the morale of the employee. I think if training is happening it should be done the correct way. It should be done efficiently the first time around so the new employee knows exactly what to do and how things should be done. The things I learned in this class I feel will be very helpful to me in the future. I will continue to remember these things for when I go out in the industry.
