First Job

Do you remember your first job? What was it? How did it feel?

 

Today on Conflict Managed, I had the great pleasure of interviewing my son, Leo Brown, on the one-year anniversary of his first job. Listen as Leo recounts his experiences as a fast-food worker. He talks about what he sees as the qualities of a good manager (calm, patient, understanding, caring, and empathetic) and of an ineffectual manager (disorganized and inattentive). Leo talks about what he thought went on behind the scenes in the restaurant business versus what he never considered to be the case: community and the importance of order. Through our conversation Leo reiterates the importance of being opened minded as the key to growing and being happy at work. Our discussion closes with what is important to him when he looks at workplace culture and values.

Leo Brown just graduated in the top 10 of his class at Westview High School. He is going to the University of Memphis in the fall to study economics. Leo plays tennis and disc golf.
