EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The topic of this paper is on the pros and cons of being a good manager. The purpose of
this paper is to inform the reader of exemplifying good quality management skills at such a
young age. After reading this paper I expect the reader to very well informed on what type
of skills it takes to become a good manager. The reader should be able to identify the
obstacles the managers face and understand that as a manager your job does not always
stop at the end of the workday.
In this paper I chose to interview an individual whom is a manager position that oversees
employees that a much older than himself. This paper is divided into five different
sections. Each section contains information that I felt was important to know in order to
exemplify good management skills. The first section the reader will get to know the
individual that was interviewed. This section gives the reader a feel of what type of person
the individual is. The second section then goes into the challenges that are faced by
mangers daily, although most mangers challenges differ depending on their job type. Then
the reader will move into the third section, which deals with managing conflict. The
managing conflict section deals with the manager handling conflict on among his
employees, conflict between himself and his employees and conflict between himself and
his supervisor. After dealing with conflict, reader will discover that managers also deal
with stress. In this section the reader should understand how the manager deals with stress
from the job and how to balance the time loss from spending with family with the time he
has to spend working. Then finally the reader will come upon change. Change is the final
section in this paper. Change takes place everyday in the working world. In order to
prosper people must learn to adapt to change.
