Before this class, i would watch my managers from each job i had, and think what i would do differently in sticky situations. I used to think, "I could make a better manager then them." Now that I have tapped into the mamangement process throught this class, I've slowly realized, maybe i was wrong. At somepoint, i am sure i could make a great manager, i'm fair, i like being in control, and i love the leadership postion. However, i've also realized, that I don't deal well with people that don't want to do their job, or what their expected to do. I'm a loose canon if you will, i march to the beat of my own drum, and if you dont march with me while we work together, I'm not a happy camper. Managing people the right way, comes with paitence, skill, knowledge, and communication, which i am still slowly learning how to deal with from this school. Knowing more of my skill is in the culinary side of my career, i decided to take path down the long windy road of baking and pastry, because i like to push myself. I like to put myself in situations where i know i will come out strong, or i know it will be 10 times harder, but i will learn new skills. With my personality as of right now, i figure i would not make a good manager,. I'd be fun, i'd get my work done, i'd try to motivate my workers, but my decision making skills rely on my gut opinion, not the clear decisive process of problem solving. Since i started culinary (before i picked up baking)
i've had this goal of being the sous chef in the kitchen, being able to run my line, motivate people to do their job, and try to have fun with my career. However, from this class i've learned i'd make a better boss/manager to myself then others, making me have yet another career goal of being a personal chef. I really enjoyed this class, and what it has taught me, and i believe it's a prime class we need.
