SUGGESTED COURSES OF ACTION
After analysing the situation of Engineer Romeo Estabillo, we suggest that he, b
eing the owner of his own construction firm, should first enhance his decision-m
aking skill in order to make his business more efficiently operational. As the h
ead of a continuously growing company, he should be competent enough to know wha
t action to take in any circumstances.

is mentioned in part III of this case analysis provides different areas of consi
deration where he can focus himself to know what courses of action to do in the

V.
CONCLUTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the story of Engineer Romeo Estabillo, our group concludes that a great
leader must not only know how to play a game safely but must also know when to
take risks to be able to see what s there outside the boundaries. He must be flex
ible and knowledgeable enough to handle any situations. A leader is a man of wis
e decisions.
Making a decision is being one step closer to the goal so here are some of the r
ecommendations considered by the group:
a.
Engr. Estabillo should take an action now and decide to employ four addi
tional full-time civil engineers. As his company grows, the operations become co
mplex so it is just reasonable to hire more employees.
b.
To further gain knowledge and to perform his functions more effectively,
while managing his own business, he should pursue the Master s Degree of Civil En
gineering course.
