Recently I attended one more Management Development Program which I was asked to undergo following a philosophy that every person should attend regular trainings to hone his/her skills. But after completing the program spread over a period of 4months, I felt that people are just too obsessed by a keyword called “Management”.
I am a believer that Management is nothing but application of common sense. There is no such formula for Crisis management or conflict management. Everything is situational. People are so crazy about learning management that they think as soon as the course is finished, they’ll become the best of managers.
These courses start with talking about Leadership, converge into talking about managers but finally, tell us how to be effective coordinators. These courses will teach about how to coordinate between you team members, between your peers, your bosses and super bosses, how to convert failures into blames, create data which does not exist, forget quality just deliver nothing but NUMBERS.
But one thing I got reminded of in this course was “Change is inevitable”. Change is bound to happen. A change is anything which will put you out of routine. Whether change in route to office or change in your role, accept it positively. Thinking positive makes you feel good and think better in a constructive way. It might not give you benefits but at least, it will make you strong to face the change.
That’s what Obama asked in US elections “Change”. And, he himself changed :-). He talks about scrapping outsourcing. Take it positively, that if he does, he’ll lose money for next elections and if he doesn’t, he’ll lose elections anyway. Change is inevitable. your children will grow up. They’ll do the same things which you did. Accept it, believe it and talk to your children.
Non-Acceptance of the fact will lead to rifts and fractions in a relationship. Change helps you building better relationships. Of course, just for a change, cook one dinner for your wife, and the whole next month, you won’t need to lift even a glass of water. ( And cook one more dinner next month to keep the cycle on
)
Accepting a change positively will energize the system around you. The vibes will be nice and it’ll feel like eternal spring. The flowers will always be blooming and the music will always be on and soothing to your ears. Even if your pocket is empty and you won’t have money, still it’ll keep you going and smiling.
