This course allows students to experience both guest and manager perspectives of dealing with seasonal employees. In addition to classroom lecture and discussion, students will discuss issues with managers of seasonal workers in ski resort settings. Furthermore, they will participate as guests in at least one Colorado ski resort by skiing, frequenting restaurants, gift shops, etc. Students will analyze the issues, using models from both tourism and traditional business theory. The final deliverable will be a report incorporating research, interviews, and experiential findings, recommending the best practices for managers of seasonal workers.
Leadership starts inside, with robust health and solid grounding in a balanced, integrated life.
One must first learn to manage one s own life before high level management of others can take place. Most importantly you will learn how to balance all aspects of your life. You will spend a day at a ranch, working with horses and becoming a student of nature and life. You will walk away from this experience with a much clearer understanding of who you are, and how to live at your optimum potential.
