Interview a manager whom you know at your university or place of employment, or a parent or friend who is a manager, and ask the following question: “What was a turning point in your life that led you to become the person, and manager, that you are today?”(A turning point could be an event, such as a divorce, birth of a child, business failure, loss of job; or a decision, such as to quit college and start a business, go back to school, get married, and so on.) Collect information on a second turning point if the interviewee has one to describe. Your goal is to learn the specifics about how each turning point led to the person’s current position in life.
