This is a relatively easy assignment, it is mainly to describe a manager or leader you know, what management skills he or she has used and analyse them.

Topic: Your studies are leading toward you being employed in a variety of industry areas, likely in Tourism and Hospitality. While an understanding of operational processes in any organisation is essential, higher levels of employment require greater understandings of management and leadership skills and dynamics.

Work environments are full of various interpersonal interactions where managers, leaders, supervisors, workers engage in activities to achieve both operational and strategic goals. Sometimes these interactions are challenging and difficult to understand.

This assessment activity asks you to think, reflect on, an environment in which you observed management and leadership interactions (they may have been good or bad). This environment may have been where you work or worked, sporting clubs, social groups, or at a university or school you attended. You need to think about a time when leadership and management skills were displayed by the people involved and the strengths and weaknesses which occurred.

By learning to reflect and analyse dynamic interpersonal work situations you will become a highly skilled manager able to better lead and manage people in challenging and dynamic work environments.
