As a young leader in an increasingly competitive job market, I feel as though I gained many pieces of knowledge during this course. Going forward, I hope that I can be more aware of forces that are affecting decisions made by my Company and be able to discuss them amongst my peers. Even though I am young in my career, I have been exposed to many changes at the Walt Disney Company but have not been as in tune with the decisions as I would have liked.
I think understanding the strategy behind Company pricing in the last chapter was perhaps the most eye-opening to me since Disney has always been known for it's pricey cost of admission. As Disney continues to increase its cost on admission, room rates, food and beverage, parking, etc. each year, the pricing chapter forced me to think about the strategy involved as our country recovers from a recession and continues to see the price of gas increase. It may be expensive, but the attendance has yet to slow down which tells me that the price continues to be right.
I am a leader of a very diverse group of people who differ not only in race, but age and gender as well. That being said, I'm very much looking forward to next semester's class surrounding organizational behavior, because I think understanding how to motivate different groups of people is a huge aid to success as a leader in today's business.
