Managerial Success:

Managerial Success depends upon the degree of achievement and excellence of the human resources available in an organization. To develop managerial skills in a person, it is required to focus on different managerial activities done by that particular person at his workspace. The degree of achievement and excellence is based on tapping the right resources and capabilities. Various training institutions organize courses relating to sharpen the managerial skills exclusively designed to improve the managerial skills of an employee or entrepreneur. A person who manages his team, subordinates, coordinates affectivity in order to complete his tasks, achieve success in business or at workspace (wherever he works). In case of official works, such persons gets promoted easily and made their place in the mind of boss or administrator. In case of executives in business, such persons made their place in the mind of stakeholders including customers.

It is crucial to develop the managerial skills and learn how to work in a horizontal mode, applying a consistent theory in leading teams and learn critical leadership skills for realization of goals. The training courses are designed to achieve three major objectives i.e. improvement of Knowledge, Skills and Attitude of the trainees to perform their tasks effectively and efficiently. Every person is capable of achieving success and training is a mean for unlocking the potentials hidden in them. In today’s world, merely knowledge of a task is nothing, it is required to learn how to perform the task without a single error and for this purpose, it is required to undergo training and improve mental and physical strength in performing well. Theoretical knowledge is wasteful, if a person is unable to adopt that knowledge in his own life. Training forces more emphasis on operational side of a task and employees are given training for doing and performing well, their tasking effectively.

Management of Work Force

Managing the work performance of people is the work of managers and it requires certain methods and skills. Some managers do it well while other do it less well. In case of private MNCs, one of the internal resources available to support managers with the necessary methods and skills are the Organization/Human Resources/Personnel specialists. But in govt. sector, there is no provision to sustain specialists to provide advices to the head of departments. The Management Development Programmes (MDPs) are attempts to acknowledge the role of senior level managerial employees providing some ideas, methods and tools to support them in the better management of their people towards meaningful results in a dynamic and ever-changing workplace. Some of the methods and skills are basic, some are more complex, but undergoing a training programme proved a successful attempt making person able to treat other with managerial skills as a vital force, linked to the performance of the enterprise and the well being of all individuals.

Role of Training, Management Development Programmes

It is well known that management is the art of getting things done through and with the people in formally organized groups. Management involves welding and moulding the attitude and behaviour of groups of people towards achievement of group and organization goals. Obviously, the skills of people concerned with the running of an organization profoundly affect its functioning and performance. The performance and effectiveness of an organization, to a large extent, depends on the skills of the people constituting it. The knowledge, understanding and skills of application of principles of Management are essential requirements to be an effective and successful leader of an organization.
