Managing Yourself

Abstract

One of the cardinal rules of good management is to understand how to manage yourself. This is a broader task than simply curbing the excesses of your temperament during difficult and trying times! It encompasses how you set your objectives, how you allocate your time, monitor your progress and how you relate to others. To put this into a wider setting each manager needs to see self-management within the wider context of a life plan that will be individual and perhaps personal to the author. This is not dissimilar from a business plan for a company, because it will start with goals (a mission) and will build a pathway from today to achieve these goals. I think that the wider setting of life goals is a valuable setting within which one of the important areas will be career planning. The goals need to be realistic, based upon an objective evaluation of one’s own strengths and weaknesses.
