MANAGERIAL SKILL

I have worked for about six years and coming back to class was a thing i feared, my question was will i manage? I then found myself at EOI, madrid, back in class, the fears started leaving me day after day. All in all i like all the subjects, but this subject, managerial skills has impacted on my life within days. The subject removed all my fears because i relialised that i was out there in the industry without all the skills for to perfome and contribute to the society effectively.

The main three topics ; Presentation, Leadership and Negotiations have given me a new face, and i am convinced that being here is not a waste of time and school never ends. I was a manager in my past job, managing six people, and the class on leadership, helped me to realise what i did wrong as a manager. I have pointed out some things like, delegation and how it helps. I have noted that poor delegation can cause more harm than good to the team, indeed am not the same. On the other hand, i have also learnt a very important thing that we need to manage humans and not the machine. Honestly, most of the managers out there make this mistake, and at the end of the day the whole system collapses and we get frustrated and when a manager is frustated then the frustration is shared.

I then was shocked with the simple mistakes i used to do in doing presentations. I had done several presentations in my life and if i try to give myself a mark as a proffessional then i will give myself a fourty percent, that is to say below avarag. With mistakes no eye contact, sitting down through out the presenatation, not concluding the presentation, no WIIFY, so many mistakes to be listed. However, the class has pushed me to a higher level, i will not be the same.

I also do a lot of personal business and the negoitiation skills will help me on that but also to my profession, the pie chart, steps for a negotiation, so helpful indeed.

Thanks Chris for it was very easy for me to understand your topics but also to relate to what is really out there in the industry. I take with me home the solution frame and leave the problem frame for both my personal and professional life.
