What kind of manager I am.

I missed the classes last week (because I caught a cold) and didn’t participate in the activity and the test which would determinate my management personality. But professor gave me the description of all 4 dimensions of behavior that were in that test and told me just to choose one myself…

I think I am “I” (influence). First of all I have really big entrepreneurial spirit. I always have some business ideas and usually I can persuade my friends (or people I know) that the ideas will be successful. I also like entertaining people and I am an optimist in general. I appreciate freedom of expression and democratic relationships. The things I need to gain to be more effective also match, like I need more control of time, and work on priorities and deadlines.

If I have to hire people for my business, I will definitely hire people with the qualities described in the type of management. I would need people who can concentrate on tasks, take logical approach, seek facts, and so on. I think it is because I have a lot of ideas, but sometimes don’t have patience to make them happen. So, to help me with developing my company, I would need people who can concentrate on things and just do it.

Again, I didn’t take the test in class, I just choose this management type from the list because I think it fits me the most. Also, I think that every entrepreneur should have at least some abilities listed in this type of management behavior.

Vision.

In the class we watched a very inspiring video about the vision. In two words, the moral of the video is if you have a vision and make a certain actions to you have a high chance to succeed in life.

I am going to tell you my 5 goals in life and what actions I am taking (or will take) to complete them.

1. Open and develop own business (businesses). Status: In progress.

Actions: I have been freelancing in the social media marketing for a long time and now I am opening a company. Currently I am improving my marketing plan, finishing developing a logo for the company, and starting to develop a company’s web site.

2. Become a producer (preferably a Broadway one, lol). Status: In progress.

Actions: I have been dreaming doing something in theatre or entertainment business for a long time, an that was one of the major goals why I choose to move to NYC. For more than 3 years I live here, I have learned so much about producing Broadway and Off-Broadway shows. My minor is theatre, currently I take Theatre Management class. So basically so far I learn how to do it, every day, little by little. I think in the future I need some experience, like internship for a production company, or something like this.

3. Find more good friends. Status: In progress.

Actions: Sometimes I can be quite a closed person, or in other words introverted, so it’s kind of problematic for me to find new friends, especially a real friends (not just a school buddies). I am trying to learn more about myself and how can I make it happen by working wioth therapist.

4. Find a person I would spend a life with. Status: Looks like far far  away (lol).

Actions: Going out and dating online. Actively. Probably need to add more steps like going to a special networking event or something like this, and again, therapist. Lol

5. Enjoy life. Status: Completed.

Actions: Although I have a lot of problems, in general, I am enjoying life, I like going out to night clubs and dance, travel, meet new people, going out to museums, movies, and so on. I have a lort of dreams and goals. I feel myself alive.
