FREE online courses on CRM - Developing People-The Key To Success - Managerial Inputs in Development - Develop Yourself

 

There was a college professor who fallen into a gentle rut, and had remained oblivious to the passage of time and how much things had changed. Each year, he would carefully lecture from his yellowing old notes and create another batch of students whose favorite hangout was the Coffee House. Then his son joined the Foreign Service, and he spent the summer in the south of France. He came back a changed man; the clothes were Paris (left bank), there was a little goatee on his chin and the faded notes were gone. Now he spoke of Art, Culture and Music and its impact on his subject. His whole outlook on life had changed…he had been rudely awakened to the need for his development, and was making up for lost time. His popularity sky-rocketed with his youthful charges, and that year, his class got more Ist Divisions than all other University colleges combined!

 
 

Even experienced managers may need some stimulus to pull them out of the rut… though they don't necessarily have to go to France for it!  It can provide the much needed ‘stretch' to keep them alert, and motivated. And undergoing some developmental ‘stretch' can invoke similar reactions in their staff… who else will they like to share it with!

 

Plan on how you are going to go about it, a personal development plan:

-          Get honest feedback from your own SELF about weaker areas

-          Get it from others close to you, then fix aims/ objectives

-          Make a date/ time bound schedule on implementing it

 

 

         Ask the right questions like:

The important goals of my life are:

·         How am I doing my present job now?

·         Where should I be 5 years hence?

·         What developmental gaps remain?

·         Where is the required knowledge?

·         What external sources can I tap?

 

 

Introspection, and ensuing self-realization, will throw up the answers to the road ahead. Keep a time log, marking priorities against deadlines to achieving your objectives by planning.

 

QUESTIONS:

 

1.       What do you understand by ‘falling into a rut'? How would you react if someone suggested this had happened to you?

 

2.       Bring out, through a case study, the phenomenon of managerial stagnation, and suggest, through your presentation, how the subject was able to overcome the problem.
