Management Skills

What I've learned about myself

Throughout the course, I have honed my Communication Skills, particularly in the context of conveying vision and expectations clearly and effectively. I have learned the importance of active listening, not just hearing words, but understanding the underlying emotions and concerns. This skill is crucial in both leadership and negotiation, as it allows me to connect with others and build strong relationships. I have also developed my ability to manage Conflict and Stress. I’ve learned techniques for addressing conflicts constructively, turning potential disagreements into opportunities for growth and understanding. Managing stress, both my own and that of my team, has become a key focus, ensuring that we maintain high performance without compromising well-being.

“Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things”. – Peter Drucker

Ideal Environments

I thrive in Flat Organizational Structures, where there is less hierarchy and more emphasis on collaboration and innovation. These environments allow for more open communication and quicker decision-making, which aligns with my participative leadership style. I find that this type of structure supports my approach to leadership and team empowerment. Additionally, I excel in Flexible Organizational Designs, where adaptability and continuous improvement are valued. In such environments, I can leverage my transformational leadership to drive change and foster a culture of learning and development. This flexibility allows me to tailor strategies to meet evolving challenges and opportunities, ensuring sustained success.
