Career Planning: Business Leadership

Career Planning Name Institution Affiliation Career Planning Part 1 From a tender age, I have had an unquenchable desire to become a renowned manager in the business field. Business fields cover almost every aspect of human beings. Buying, selling, shopping, discount, and promoting are examples of business activities that individuals undertake every day. It is a field that I am greatly interested and in particular, at a management level. I am specifically drawn to business management because it is a very exciting field with lots of challenges and demands. In addition, it is a field that gives me an opportunity to improve lives of people either directly or indirectly. I believe I have what it takes to become a renowned chief executive officer in one of the biggest firms in the world.
