HOW DIFFICULT IS MANAGEMENT ?

Practice Where Art, Science And Craft Meet

A manager's most important, and most difficult job is to manage people. You must lead, motivate, inspire, and encourage them. Sometimes you will have to hire, fire, discipline or evaluate employees.

Management is nothing but making things to be done by the people. Now how difficult is the management? Well there is a common proverb in most of the languages that "One can take the horse to the pond but you cannot make her to drink water" but in management this principle is not accepted, you have to make that horse to drink water under any circumstances with in the given time limit. 

In order to make the horse drink the water, we have two options:

• Get some carrots and put into her mouth. After eating the carrots the horse will drink water, but what if the horse refuses to drink water after having the carrot.
• Then, we need to go for the second and final option by getting some red hot chillies and put it into her mouth.and then the horse will definitely drink water.

So what is the difference between the first method and the second method. 

The first method is the motivation and the second method is compulsion. The motivation is the best method but not an easy one, because motivating a person is not that easy. where as the second method compulsion is the final alternative when you have left out with no options. 

Management is a difficult task but one can make it easy if the Management Person possess enough management skills like motivational skills, negotiation skills, Timely decision making etc.
