Final Reflection Paper
In every learning institution, students have to take up certain courses that will be of benefit to them. I had the opportunity of learning this extremely beneficial management course, and the results have been quite surprising. When I first enrolled for this course, I did not know much about what it entailed, and I just assumed that it would be no different from the previous courses. However, upon reading the course outline, I was surprised that I would learn about some topics that I did not expect. One such example was on emotional intelligence, and I believe that it was my best topic in this course, overall. Of course, the other course topics were equally as good and I enjoyed learning them.

Now, I am well informed about some of the theories of motivation such as Herzberg’s Two-Factor, McGregor’s Theory Y and Theory X and Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs Theory, among others. The various case studies also provided me with a wider perspective concerning how motivation can be of benefit to individuals.

In conclusion, I will ensure that once I start working, I will improve my strengths and inform my co-workers about the benefits of strength based on leadership. Lastly, I will focus more on self-awareness and self-understanding as they play an important role in leadership
