Management Skills Development....

There are infinite kinds of skills, out of which managerial skills seem to be the most sought-after in any organization. A manager should be an extrovert or at least an ambivert, as he or she need to interact with infinite variety of people. There is no place for an introvert in the world of management. To be an extrovert, one must have good general knowledge and should possess a high level of common sense as well as presence of mind....
The following are the backbone of managerial skills:

1. excellent communication skills
2. good manners, etiquettes and habits
3. flawless performance
4. motivational skills
5. rapport-building
6.expert  knowledge of goods and services in a specific field
7.courage of managing crises
8. decision-making ability in any tough or tricky situation

Basic Art of Management....

The art of management has got three major components such as

1. Managing the self in the best possible manner so that we set examples before others about performing things

2. Managing others by using great words and sincere efforts and clarity of purpose....

3. Knowing people around us so that we can develop strategies for suitable leadership styles

Self-management challenges

To manage or to lead others, one should be able to manage the self in a perfect manner first. By managing the self in a planned and systematic manner, we can set examples before others and therefore creating an atmosphere of  encouraging perfection .It is really true that we can better the ways of doing things, if we try to achieve perfection in performing the job we are assigned with. Hence from onw onwards , we should always try to set a higher standard of performance for ourselves and things on all fronts will improve automatically. Behind all our imperfections and failures, we ourselves are to be blamed, as the root cause might be one or more of the following:
1. lethargy
2. procrastination
3. waste of time and energy in unproductive areas
4. lack of sense of timing
5. mismanagement of time
6. not having the tenacity and determination to complete our assignments in time

etc.etc.

Hence the biggest lesson in management and leadership should be 'striving for perfection' 'continuous practice in doing things' so that others feel motivated and inspired for achieving perfection in their own domains. We should be able to attain perfection in speaking, writing, behaving, and engaging our skills in attainign our desired objectives in both professional and personal lives

Self-motivation and productivity....

Self-motivation is at the root of all work that we do. It's a great challenge to keep ourselves motivated and inspired. Life passes through ups and downs. It's natural. But  during the period of depressive thinking, we tend to degrade ourselves if we do not network with friends who are hard-core positive thinkers. When managing things becomes more and more difficult, we should take advice and guidance from our well-wishers. Our well-wishers only can boost up our morale and put us on the right track. Otherwise, we may fall victim to obsessive depression which is harmful to both body and mind...Here mental state is the primary concern of leading a happy and balanced life. A healthy mind definitely produces positive physiological states and therefore enhancing the possibility of being in a happy condition.

Most of ailments originate from an unregulated lifestyle and mental worry or disturbances of some kind or the other. Hence controlling the mind to be in a state of peace and productive thinking is the biggest issue in practical life...

Managerial Thinking ....

Managing of human affairs is indeed a difficult task. Theoretical knowledge rarely works in practice, unless the same is modified as per real-life experiences on human interaction and its dynamics....
I have seen a good  number of good managers among my colleagues. The most common qualities among them could be summed up as follows:

1. they are systematic and methodical workers themselves
2. they can take enormous pressure
3.they are straight-forward
4.they maintain dignified distance from the colleagues
5.they speak of business only and they are focussed on their goals
6.they are all hard-working individuals with the abilities to lead...

Training in management can never be sufficient to make a person punctual,sincere,dedicated and systematic. It requires a lot of practical experience to handle situations in a 'management' way....

Health is wealth...the saying goes

It is the biggest truth I have ever found. It needs a lot of experience to realize this simple fact. My recent experience about health parameters speaks volume about the fact that without good health and fitness, we are basically nothing. Nothing good can be done without fitness. To achieve and retain fitness, a lot of tenacity and determination is required. And the most important thing about fitness work is its regularity and consistency. Till we are regular and consistent about yoga and other form of exercises, we hardly gain any appreciable effect on our health...
