Management 3120 class is helpful in teaching me what skills are needed to be a successful manager and what is the role of a manager. Through the self-assessments, I see what skills I am lacking and what I need to improve in.
In the “Management Traits self- assessment”, my strongest traits are industriousness and integrity (scored 15 out of 20 for both) and my weakest trait is ability to get along with people (scored 11/15). I have to improve my socializing ability. I think the only way for me to like working with people is to talk more, either in class or at work. Talking more will get you accustomed to behaving that way and change you into an easy- to- approach person.

Self-assessment,” I got an overall score of 96 out of 100 which means I am ethical. I wasn’t surprised by my score at all. I expected a high 80’s or 90’s because I know that I am an honest person, and I rarely get in trouble. For the observation of unethical behaviors, I really do not see any in the place I am working at, except for minor lying as in calling in sick to get a day off when you don’t want to come to work. But other than that, that is all.

Plus, you reporting on your coworker might leave a bad impression of you in his/her mind and it may also negatively influence your relationship with your coworker.

This is closer to 60, which means that you prefer to work in a traditional organizational structure, than 12, which means that you prefer to work in a contemporary organizational structure. I would say that I do like to work in a mechanistic organization, where you only have to focus on your own work and just follow what your boss wants you to do. It sounds so much easier and less responsibility. But, according to what I learned about organizational structures, I would say that contemporary or organic structure is more favorable. This is because it is decentralized, adaptable, and horizontal. Everyone participates in the company’s decision making and everyone works with a common goal, for the success of the company. With teamwork, there’s more motivation and desire to work hard for the company. While a mechanistic, bureaucratic structure may lead to conflicts because it is centralized and you have less a say and is expected to follow the lead of the top
