Managerial Skills Evaluation
When I saw for the first time, what topics we are going to cover I was a little bit afraid that the class would be boring and basically I will repeat the same things I’ve learned doing my bachelors. But fortunately for my peers and me it wasn’t the case. Managerial class turned out to be a great experience from which all of us could benefit a lot. In class we covered three main topics: How to be a good presenter? How to negotiate? How to be a successful leader? Before attending this class all of us knew something about it, but it helped us to structure our knowledge and what is more important how to implement into practice i.e. our future professional life.
Our teacher Christopher Metcalfe was great and knew how to deal with our weaknesses and make us better in what we do. A sentence that really stayed in my head was what Abraham Lincoln once said: “Whatever you are, be a good one”. It really made me think how people are doing a lot of things. They do their task not because the believe in what they do, but they do their tasks only to get over with them. It is something I will definitely try to change in my behaviors. As far as the presentation are concerned I’ve acknowledged what mistakes am I making and how to change that. I am also able to introduce the methods of preparing the presentation how to plan speeches, essays and any kind of dissertation, oral or written. Negotiation gave me a basic notion of what it is, but with little time we had it was impossible to become good in it. However, we became AWARE… My favorite part was about leadership, because it is the most applicable knowledge that we got. I really liked the Pickle Jar theory, which I’ve already started to implement into organizing my time. The only problem I may have is with setting priorities.
Depending on what the famous point B was, people whether got there or not. For me point B is to being aware of the basic rules and characteristics of a good manager. So I can proudly say: I’m now at point B!
