SELF MANAGEMENT

Hello Friends,

I am glad to offer my views on Self-Management today.

In our professional and personal life all of us have a basic instinct and have an intuitive  mind to understand reactions of people, our friends, colleagues, relatives, and 'the boss'. Though our reactions may not be appreciated every time. Then, in such a case we need to analyse the scenario and manage ourselves to gear up with the situation. It seems that with the implementation of 'Self Management' life of people in organizations seem to have become more blissful.

So, What's actually 'Self Management'?

Friends, 'Self Management is an ideology or a philosophy in organizations whereby people can perform their work freely without the involvement of any traditional hierarchy, but follows a liberty to imply work functions traditionally. The interference of traditional hierarchy restricts Self Management. It means that 'Work exploitation is also adequately restricted if the interference is minimum.  Obviously, it goes without saying that, forcibly an individual should not impose his or her work principles on the other. Individuals should respect and honour the agreements or commitments made to each other. Thus, Self Management has to involve lot of mutual trust and truth among the individuals in an organization. 

Self Management is in fact a sort of management model of organizing in which the functions of management are delegated to practically all the members of the organization. Such functions are like planning, controlling, coordinating, and directing.  Every member in the organization is solely responsible for planning their activity, coordination with their members for maintaining their own relationships. This Ideology of 'Self Management' is practiced in many MNCs which also grooms their employees in these aspects. Obviously this practically eliminates the typical 'formal' hierarchical management form. It means that the authorities in the 'formal' hierarchical into 'Self Managed' organizations possess only limited authority and control to the extent that leads to final decision making. 

The main idea of implying 'Self Management' in organization is that it is that the employees who are traditionally were being looked as mere employees for a given task, now come into the main stream, they feel dignified, and are given an opportunity to share their knowledge and experience to enhance several aspects including productivity etc. The employees, are looked upon as managers who then take over wider responsibilities and become more committed into their everyday activity.

Self Management practices in such organizations have not only proven to be beneficial but also it has proved to be modern and rather revolutionary too. 

I offer my sincere thanks to all my readers and viewers for sharing with me comments, views and suggestions for my previous blogs.

Thanks a lot again.
