By the first days of attending lecture, we are given a
brief introduction into this module. The program structure, assignments and
examinations was explained by our lecturer, Miss Natasya. My expectation for
this module was just simply excited as I looking forward to my group assignment
where we are required to analysis and evaluate a company business activity
through conducting an interviewing with a manager. Compared to group assignment
given by others module, this group assignment gave me an opportunity to explore
to outside world, do something that is more different and challenge.
The important of
managers in an organization, their skill, roles, and responsibilities is
lecture in the first week too. It was pretty easy for me as I take People and
Organization in my foundation year where it was quite similar with this module.
I expect to learnt more in this semester as it is important to learn how to
manage people and work well with them within the company as well as the skills
used by the manager.
The first things I
learnt to be a good manager is the four function of management. There are four
management functions which are planning, organizing, leading and controlling.
In fact, being a good manager, we have to achieve the organization goals by the
help of those management functions attach with Fayol’s 14 Principles of
management. The following weeks I expected to learn the most effective
leadership styles in recruiting, retaining, and motivate employees in nowadays
working environment. Ranging from management history and the approaches peoples
have used in management, to how business environment and the organization
cultures affect management decisions. By right, I would able to learnt from
past management blunders and avoid them by using the right management approach
which are more aligned to the culture of the organization to
ensure smoother management of the business.
Come to the more personal point of view, after 12 weeks of
learning Introduction to Management, I’m able to learn something deeper than
the management theories, for instants, the motivation theories I able to learnt
something news which are Content theories and Process theories. This topic is one of
the important topic to study because a good manager have the responsibility to motivate each of everyone in the organization to ensure the maximum outcome is achieve. Besides, I learnt a lot from the leadership theories where it give me the direction on leadership approach and acts as a guidance for me to work in various places with with different employees. For example the situational leadership
teaches me how to react and deal with different situation in different point of
time.
This module is relatively important to my work life in
the future. With the knowledge of management, I learnt to be a good manager in
planning, organizing, leading and controlling the overall organization. I
learnt to deal with people and manage them in the way they are wishing to be
treated. This module had made my future more brighter in the senses that I had a better understanding on managing business world !
