Management
skills are not the copyright of MBAs only. They can be acquired by all
and should be indeed! They can be honed anywhere and there are some
basic management skills that one should definitely implement in office,
whether you are a post graduate management student or not. These skills
don’t require you to do an MBA; just simple practices chalked out well
and strategized to perfection can bring the same results for you as it
would to anyone else in your office. Here is a lowdown on some essential
MBA skills we feel that every non-MBA inculcates as a part of their
daily habits.
Communication Concord
Communication
is an essential factor guiding your potential to flourish. This
communication entails communication with everyone, be it, the boss, the
seniors, your reporting boss, or your parallel colleagues. Opening doors
to communication with your seniors and duly informing them about each
effort taken by you is a strategic way to make them realize you’re at
work and you are constantly contributing yourself in some way for the
betterment and growth of the organization as well as the adding value to
your area of work. Error free and lucid communication channels make way
for informed decision making. However, your reputation is at stake
unless your communication, whether written, verbal or pictorials is
error-free.
Relationship Building
Your
growth and potential can be easily charted keeping your relations in
place. Being in the bad books of even one essential entity in your
organization can alter your efforts to nil. Thus, make sure to build
strong and friendly relations with all. Most of the people in office
spaces are not here to make long term friends, so don’t go ahead with
those intentions, build relations in the form of give and take. Don’t
keep to yourself, share knowledge even if people don’t share it with
you. Your strategy here is to build relations for your interest not to
calculate if you are getting more or less than you’re giving.
Opinions Matter, When?
Opinions
and judgments matter, but make sure these judgments are not personal
judgments, judgments about colleague, their work profile, their salaries
and their work. Your opinions should be business
related and must be opined when in business meetings and other
professional gatherings where you can draw some mileage out of their
substance. Opining your thoughts and ideas in a clout of colleagues in a
lunch room is not going to get you anywhere.
These
are some of the basic and essential skills that should be considered to
achieve the best in an office space. Always remember, office spaces are
breeding grounds for senseless rumours and tough cutting edge politics
that can make or break one's career, hence use these as daily management mantras for the best.
