From the lectures I realized that a manger should not think only about money and personal
benefits, but also has an obligation to create healthy and safe working environment. Besides
the benefits for the employees, this increases the productivity and indirectly earns money
again.
So, the main asset for me as a manger are the people and I must provide conditions for
their safety and health, as their life is more important than anything else.

enhance electricity and how to stop its capacity.
The professor was quite good and has explained us in details all the issues that have to do
with electricity since its inception.
