How Has Management Influenced My Life
According to Mr. Claude Quinton, management can be defined as getting work done through others efficiently and effectively. Management plays an important role in an individual’s life, group, society or an organization for the smooth running of tasks being done effortlessly with great output, correctly. The main management functions are planning, organizing, leading and controlling. Others include hiring, firing, motivating and supervising.
For as long as I can recall management has shaped me into a better individual through self-management. When I was younger I can remember mommy always ensuring I go to bed on time to get a needed night’s rest to be able to keep up with school and social activities, this taught me time management. When I had reached the elementary level of my education I was allowed the privilege of managing my own money and here I learnt money management. By the time I was a teenager in high school I had to learn first-hand the importance of ‘flying on my own’ as the managerial figure in my life wasn’t around to supervise me. At this stage in my life, I had to put into play all I had learnt from a tender age to then, this also taught me self-management. This influenced my life in a great way as I learnt responsibility and to depend on myself and to manage my own time wisely.
In my young adult years I had my first job. My managerial figure was in the category of first-line manager who had to report to a middle manger quarterly on my overall performance through evaluation. Her managerial role portrayed the interpersonal skill as she motivated and encouraged me to get the job done or I would have to suffer the consequences of having a poor evaluation report, being placed on probation or being fired. Also apart from being fired I liked the feeling of being able to make my own money so this in return motivated me more. Throughout this stage in my life I had developed proper time management, budgeting and discipline. Management has influenced my life
