Starting off in middle management

My first IS meeting

My first IS meeting

One thing I like most about AIESEC is the fact that it is flexible. Flexible when it comes to people, projects or even personal development. After you become an AIESEC member, you have opportunities at your feet. You may choose to be an OC (Organizational Committee) /OCP (Organizational Committee President) in a project or even try to get into the Executive Board (EB) of AIESEC Sibiu. But some people find their place in positions like Information Systems Manager, Alumni Responsible or PR (Public Relations) Responsible. These 3 positions represent for AIESEC Sibiu the middle management.
I choose to be an IS Manager after spending more than a year in IS department of AIESEC Sibiu. Middle management has an important role too in the organization, they coordinate a group of people and most important they are specialist in that domain. The relationship between middle management and the EB must be open so that every Vice President can always have a good picture of their department status.
For me being an IS Manager means to taste leadership. I’ve read so much about leadership, presented leadership and talked about leadership, but now its the time to experience leadership.
I’m just 2 weeks old as an IS Manager and I can say I like it. Gathering people in one place at the same time can be alone a challenge and I feel that every time I meet my team, my experience gets a plus.
Expectations are the only fear I have during my term and I’m sure I will prove myself at least as good as the last IS Manager.
