The exercise gives students the opportunity to put themselves in executive shoes and practice handling issues and decisions that senior managers deal with on a daily basis. It allows them to practice behavioural observation skills, and giving and receiving feedback. This exercise allows students to: o Sense the pressure executives face balancing multiple demands in limited time. o Reflect and get feedback on their management style; give feedback to others on their styles. o Implement management skills and strategies taught in previous classes. o Experience how they take up management roles in relation to others.
