Personal Statement

After completing my bachelor’s degree, I was more inclined to understand how organizations can achieve sustainable performance through effective management. I was particularly fascinated by how private organizations tend to perform significantly better than public organizations. I was also impressed by how private organizations’ leaders spent their quality time planning, coordinating, and motivating other subordinates for effective organizational performance. After doing a comprehensive internet search, I realized that business management and public administration are the knowledge behind better performance in private organizations. Specifically, I understood that business management and public administration not only equip one with effective leadership skills but also the best management skills necessary for effective employee management and inspiration. Having understood the criticality of effective leadership and management, I developed strong desires to advance my career in the management of public organizations. This has, therefore, contributed to my inclination to the field of public administration.
