3MANAGING LEADING STEWARDSHIP
1. Pre Subject Reflection
My most prominent zest behind doing MBA has not been to achieve a lucrative
managerial designation in my dream organisation. The ongoing implied, as well as specific
incidents in various spheres, have attracted me. Besides, I have also observed that many of
the successful executive leaders in multiple realms have completed a degree in Business
Administration. This enticed me, and I started to suppose that doing a Business Management
degree would give me a competitive edge. Thereupon I got the idea to change my career plan
and leave the current job to get an MBA degree and then join an organisation in the
managerial position. This is the background story behind joining the UTS. I have been very
clinical about the selection of subjects since I wanted to study the aspects of management,
innovation in organisations and the conception of stewardship in detail. The lecture sessions,
as well as the reading materials that have been provided, turned out to be very helpful for me.
I found that the course of MLS would help me to gain rough idea regarding leadership and
stewardship which I consider to be most beneficial for personal career development. The
descriptive detail regarding the fundamental theories and the decisions related to stewardship
and managing organisations that have been provided in the weekly materials helped to
become a better professional. I started to feel that under the prospect of the UTS, my
professional scope would be better. I would like to identify that one of the primary aspects of
the teaching methodologies of the UTS is that the theoretical explanations that the teachers
provide during the lecture sessions are made easy for our understanding through weekly
brainstorming weekly activities. This, not only enhances our conceptions in a profound way
but also have a prolific impact on our leadership and managerial decision making capabilities.
Hence, it can be easily implied that I am looking up to the MLS course of the UTS for all-
round development and personal accomplishments.
Man management and stewardship in the organisations, as well as the ideology of
justified leadership, were utterly unknown to me, back in my previous days. I worked as an
associate inventory manager for a small retail chain. My daily duty involved allocating
executives and communication of the daily projected target and the daily accomplished
target. As an outcome, my job left no scope to man manage or manage the course of the
workflow. I was not able to implement any of the in-depth managerial theoretical frameworks
which I was aware of. Hence, I was gradually becoming disoriented with my work. Perhaps, I
lacked leadership skills, and that is why I was sulky at management and was forced to
perform a passive managerial disposition. However, after watching the video on leadership
