Things to Think About!

So…… As I get to the end of L block I start to wonder what’s next, what do I want to be, or might be even better what do I take with me? As I do these blogs I wonder what the point of it is. Is it for me, for the teacher or for others? To be honest the only thing I feel theses blogs do is make me think. They make me think about what to write about and as I think about what to write I think about the class and how it should be applied to the real world. Others write theses blogs about communicating, planning/organizing, or decision making/problem solving and how they relate to their externship. Well I want to relate them to life for example when you don’t communicate well, in life you will never get what you truly want because people 9 out of 10 times if you don’t ask you won’t get. Planning and organizing, well it comes down to this you don’t plan and then organize your plan you will have a much greater risk of failure. Decision making and problem solving, if you don’t make the right decisions not only will you hurt yourself you will most likely hurt the people involved and if you don’t learn to problem solve correctly you will most likely just make the same mistake over and over again. Now why am I saying this is this not obvious? Well most people forget these important essentials. Humans are mostly to make these mistakes when they are under a lot of stress and rush into the thing I just talked about like communicating, planning, decision making, and problem solving. So what’s the point your asking just because we near at the end of L block should not mean we just forget about these things. All those things are not only key to a successful time in the real word it’s also important in these CIA kitchens. It’s going to be important to have wonderful experiences to learn from not negatives one even though we all know those are also key to learning.
My time in Into to Management was great I enjoyed being in class and learning about all the key things to a successful manager. I am going to take a lot out of this class and I hope others will too. One thing I realized about this industry more and more everyday is that if you truly do love this, and by love I mean love the industry and not just the food because lots of people love food but can’t stand working long hours or slaving over a hot stove for hours. But the industry as a hole all these challenges that lie ahead be easier to deal with and all these things you learn in management that seam common sense will just come natural to you.
