Summary Introduction

Case summary:

Turning points on the road to management.

Characters in the case:

No prominent characters in the case.

Adequate information:

Step 1. Interview a manager whom you know at your university or place of employment, or a parent or friend who is a manager, and ask the following question.

Step 2. Divide into groups of four to six members. One person at a time, share what you learned about a manager's career turning points.

Step 3. Have you personally experienced any turning points in your life?

To determine:

What was a turning point in your life that led you to become the person, and manager that you are today? Collect information on a second turning point if the interviewee has one to describe. Your goal is to learn the specifics about how each turning point led on to the person's current position in life.

What themes or patterns characterize the turning points among the managers interviewed.

Each group member should describe his or her personal turning point to the group. With the additional turning points, analyze again for themes and patterns across all the turning points.

Step 4. What lessons does your group learn from its analysis? How does history (events, decisions) play a role in the lives and careers of the managers interviewed, and in the lives of your group members?
