Further Studies and More Job Responsibilities for Sam Congdon

Sam Congdon is a true seeker of knowledge and the thirst to gain knowledge has only increased inside him over time. He joined further studies to quench his thirst for knowledge. He moved to Dallas soon after he finished his one-year in Oregon to acquire his Master in Business Administration degree at Southern Methodist University. The business school was a great knowledge to his and he enjoyed classes that were mainly entrepreneur and investment oriented. The lessons helped him to develop his entrepreneurship skills further. He didn’t enjoy classes such as global business and organizational behavior that he considered simply as waste of time.

From his college life and work life Sam Congdon managed to learn about business, finance, enterpremeurialism. He also learnt the skill of an entrepreneur, such as how to write a business plan. He nurtured his skill with both practical and academic wisdom which he uses up to today. The “SMU MBA” enhanced his business cards and resume. SMU is amongst the top 25 business schools in the United States and it was an added benefit to him. During his college time he gained outstanding learning and experience in the school. He suggest the college to all those who want to be an entrepreneur and run a business to make it big someday. 

It took his two years to get his MBA and during this time he went back to his old job at Student Works painting for another summer. This time his responsibility was much bigger, he had to manage managers in the entire State of Ohio instead of managing a city which he had done previously. 

The job was truly a challenging one and Sam Congdon loved to take challenges. He had to take over the post from another general manager. He was left with employees most of whom he could never have hired. His job was to save the ruined ship from sinking and to bring back it to its old glory. Surely it wasn’t an easy task. Regardless of the whole situation, he earned the respect of managers and he mentored them every possible way. He taught them the tricks he had educated in Michigan. Finally he turned the summer into a successful summer. 

Taking the responsibility of a business in a midstream and to bring it back was not an easy task. But he was successful with his mission while most managers were subpar meaning that they could not perform their assigned task properly.  For instance, one of them threw a fit in the customer’s front yard that resulted to the customer making a call to the offices because of not knowing of what to make of the scene. He had to deal with managers who were less efficient, less prospective and also less sincere. It was challenging. To ensure the success of any business managers must have managerial qualities. He had to weed out such characters to ensure that the summer was a success.

As Sam Congdon earned another higher degree, he was exposed to more knowledge and definitely more responsibilities. Not only he attended a prestigious university, beside his MBA he managed the hardest part of his old job at a time. Despite being given the challenging task of saving a sinking ship, he never said no to his group or education. It was an eye opener to him that he could get more responsibilities and still succeed.
