The Dynamics of Effective Management Ants carry the weight of a spider about thousand times their weight.

Such a rational framework to help practitioner of business grapple with the confluence is the best one can actually hope for. Managerial skills effectively channelise the energy and blow to bits the difficulties encountered whether during doing any mammoth task, otherwise the bits that Silicon Valley giants talk of. These ants are actually old economy ostriches that have been applying the skills long before we new economy evangelists came to MBA schools to study those skills. The missing ingredient to a common mans skills that comes via a managers arsenal is common sense itself, which is very uncommon. One may have the feeling that one knows it all but to effectively apply it is all about the dynamic game of managing and managing effectively. Managerial effectiveness is the extent to which managers achieve the output requirements of their positions. Managerial effectiveness depends upon: Understanding the mission of the organization Making work productive towards the mission Harmonising work logic and workers logic Making workers achievement oriented Satisfying owner logic Managing the social impact of the organisation The most complex task of management is to manage the social impact of the organisation. It depends on the managers ability to think through the total effectiveness of the organisation. Level of effectiveness of the organisation can be judged at three levels: It is productive-that it is able to produce the goods and services it is meant to produce It is efficient-that it produces the goods or services with minimum expenditure of resources, particularly the scarce resources It has a reputation for excellence Though for effective management functional and interpersonal skills are necessary effective management is also about the sense of importance you

give to the person. The functional skills comprise of ability to use the techniques required for operating in the functional area, for example, the sales manager must know salesmanship, the production manager should be able to schedule the machine loading. The interpersonal skills comprise of the ability to deal with the people. Today millions and millions of youth are engaged in a rat race to the finish line, numerous hurdles their way, never ending struggle bombarded with series of frustration every hour, we meet our destinies every day, we lose our destinies every day, we see our role models fall with every weeks newspaper headlines. Why there is so much of institutional inertia, so much frustration? Why do we stare at blank walls a hundred times and throw our hands in despair ? The reason - I attribute it all to ineffective management. Why on earth do we not design our organisations that way ? There is simply no reason why we should not? Since I wish you all to be the effective managers of tomorrow ,always remember effective management demands first self management, self management starts with self awareness and self realisation.
