A short slideshow discussing my managerial experience.

1. Project Management
WHAT I’VE LEARNED

2. Management Defined
1.
administration of business: the organizing and controlling of the affairs of a
business or a sector of a business
2.
managers as group: managers and employers considered collectively,
especially the directors and executives of a business or organization
3.
handling of something successfully: the act of handling or controlling
something successfully

3. Management of the Self
A case can be made that any personal success can be attributed to good
management. I have a handful of personal achievements that I am quite
proud of, and I would be nowhere without proper personal management. I
did well academically in high school and got a high ACT score. I managed to
go through all 10 years of 4-H. My greatest feat of self-management however
is my getting accepted in the Ohio State University and soon I hope to
graduate with a degree.

4. Management in Academics
During my time at OSU I’ve found myself in many managerial type positions. For some
reason, every group project that I take part in ends up with me being the “group
manager” meaning that it falls to me to make sure everyone is on task to get the work
done on time. Personally, I have no issue with this. It assures that I have control over the
final outcome of the project and I even gain some useful managerial experience.

5. Managerial Experience at Work
I have yet to have a true construction internship, but I have gained valuable
management experience from my part time jobs and other internships.

My ZenGenius internship I was constantly put on projects with little
guidance, but I was expected to perform the task needed or make sure
that it got done.

At my valet job there is a seniority system, where if you work with another
employee and you are more “senior” with the company then you are in a
management position over them. This entails you to pick who gets what
shift, who takes what cars, etc.

6. Management to Me
Management experience can come from a whole host a different places
and life experiences. Any one person has gained so much unintended
management experience through life that it’s just a matter of finding the
proper way to put it to use. I am really looking forward to my opportunity to
apply myself and be a proper construction manager.
