Session 5 - Leadership in the New Economy

This session date in MICMGMT is the day that we have to report on some short stories. Our topic is Susie Wong. I think we did quite good on this report for it is almost self explanatory why Susie Wong was not promoted on her job although she has the credentials (very good credentials) to back it up and she does perform in her job excellently. It is because she doesn't know how to
be a team player or to work with other people. The learning on this story is that even though you are smart intellectually you can lead, sometimes you have to know how to socialize with your co-workers to get their feelings. You should have the "carisma" to be a leader. Arrogance will get you nowhere.

Another topic discussed by the other group that I liked the most is the story of "short pants". It was very hilarious, that the long pants that the character requested to be trimmed was overdone and turned the long pants to short pants. The lesson learned in this topic is that miss-communication almost all the time creates disaster. That we should be keen in giving and following directions. :p
