- True Management is effective only when I firmly believe myself that everyone is with me and they will support me all along. If I enter the Arena with a feeling that none is welcoming me and I should proceed with a protective cover, it soon creates too many problems around..
- If my selfish motives are well controlled, often I would be a much better Manager than expected of me..
And
- Management as a double edged weapon is many times required because not that the other man’s temper alone is to be kept under control; mine too.. That too, very often!
The 4 basic Tools of Management that invariably I need to use when the situations become volatile:
- The art of keeping as much silence as possible where in the situation improves and the burning issues get sidelined temporarily..
- The technique of listening to what all is being talked of, smiling in between but invariably firming up only on the solution proposed at the starting point itself..
- The skill of being a total listener except saying in between..
‘OK, I know, Yes..Yes, I agree, Nice, Really, Is it so?, Oh, that's Great..’
- Etc..etc and nothing more..
And
- The strategy of just repeating for the time being,
‘Ok.. It's alright.. Alright.. It's Ok.. Ok..'
- And slowly withdrawing from the scene in the interest my personal safety!
The 3 dangerous Tempting Practices of Management which I should ever refrain from using:
- The knack of relaxing myself when two others talk seriously as sooner or later I' got to pay back double to triple of that ease taken..
- The trick of entering in the middle and leaving before closure to avoid certain pains taking decisions in a predicted tough situation..
And
- The oft played game of looking at my next man saying the 4 words,
‘What do you say?’
- Wherein I may temporarily be seen as the smart man of the situation but sooner in the process, I'll definitely be making more enemies than I can count!
