Instructor Comments
Experienced managers have come to understand that managing chance is a normal part of their job requirements. Indeed to some extent, that is the major aspect of their work. Think of the operations head of a professional soccer, football or hockey team. They constantly gauge the team performance and make needed change on the go, be they in the early, late, or playoff stages of the season. Think of a buyer for a major clothing store. He or she sources new products from around the world and responds to fashion changes on a daily basis. Change and managing change is a constant and for many professionals, a way of life.
