Managerial Skills

I had given quite a few of talks at university and during my degree. I was told about some tips and advices to give presentations successfully but I did not have a clear structure of what really matters. Managerial Skills has solved it, after a few hours of lessons I can tell I know a few ideas, the simplest ones and, at the same time, the important ones. For me the first on the list: being aware about your audience, I will always consider that since now! I have realized many times presenters do not care about who is going to listen to him or what they are interested in… so the talk does not make sense at all.

Nowadays, people tend to be selfish, worrying just about their own benefit and taking advantage of other people. Furthermore, there are many external factors that can involve problems such as misunderstandings, fear, different perceptions… that make the communication between human beings even hardest. The negotiation topic taught me that you can get even more profit if you are aware of not only what your wishes are but of what others desire, being positive, looking for a cooperative approach by maximizing the joint outcomes and creating value. Stop thinking only about ourselves!

Regarding the Leadership module, it has been my favorite one because many of the ideas have very directly application not only to my professional life but to my personal life as well. There are so many useful things it is hard to choose… I would like to point out some of them:

What makes the different between managers and leaders? Think about teachers, bosses, your parents…everybody who has been responsible of you in any aspect of your life… I am sure that most of them have just manage your time, giving orders… basically focusing on task but they did not realize that they should have focused on us, getting us involved, making our work much better and the key in motivation.

The video about Simon Sinek’s “The Golden circle” was particularly interesting , People don´t buy what you do, they buy why you do it. It is really worth seeing.

Finally I would like to highlight the Pickle jar theory…so much useful for me! Especially doing this master, no options! I need to improve time management…

Thanks, Chris!!
