Final Blog

After taking this management course, I feel as though some day I could make a competent manager. A lot of managerial skills are instinctual, common sense things, but to be an effective manager requires the educational foundation as well. I believe that this class has given us the foundation to go out and be leaders in the industry and develop our own managerial styles.
In this industry, passion and determination will get you far, but the knowledge gained throughout this course and the others we have taken during l block will only further our successes. We can now critically observe managers or supervisors and learn from them and assess their skills as managers. Additionally, being more aware of the various laws that protect certain groups will hopefully encourage us to think before speaking and be more socially aware as employers. A certain degree of empathy is involved when being a manager, and I hope that we have all learned that it is important to take necessary corrective actions prior to firing people who may be valuable employees, and I will definitely think twice before I raffle off a $25,000 car. Overall, I enjoyed this class, and I have learned many valuable life skills as a result.
