Extract

[...] The manager has organizational skills. He is the guarantor of the organization and the coordination of the missions and tasks of the collaborators. He is also a manager since he is responsible for the management of human, material and financial resources (H. Mintzberg). The manager of the McDonald's restaurant, in which I worked, organizes and distributes tasks according to the influx of customers with a visibility of two weeks through a shared schedule. He organizes the resources of the restaurant to allow customers to be received in good conditions and to achieve the set objectives. [...]

[...] During my professional experience, I was surprised to see that my manager exclusively mobilized directive management. I was faced with the transmission of information only downwards and the announcement of projects or objectives without including employees in the decision-making process, even for change processes that affect their working conditions.

From the beginning of my tenure, he presented the rules and the working framework in a clear and exhaustive manner: in fact, I received the internal regulation and a reminder was made regarding the values of the institution as well as the rules of good conduct towards the clientele. [...]

[...] This analytical work has helped me in the development of my managerial posture, particularly in developing a critical posture. By mobilizing my critical spirit, I compared the theoretical contributions completed by the knowledge gained from reading scientific works with the realities of the field. The human factor plays a fundamental role in an organization: the soft skills of the manager contribute to the performance and efficiency of the organization. It is fundamental to accompany managers in order to allow the development of skills such as teamwork and communication. [...]
