Art of Modern Management !!!

I have always believed that teamwork is something which can make common people do uncommon things . Its one of those energies which if correctly channelized can do wonders. This belief has developed through various experiences.

 But still when Prof. Mandi gave an option whether a blind person with the help of instructions of a normal person can build a taller building   than another open eyed person , a doubt came in my mind. I was not sure about the capability of the blind person. But in the end I was proven wrong but most importantly I could learn the art of modern management in a way I couldn't have ever understood through textbooks or anything

.

Backlash ::

Unlike the first lecture when Prof. Mandi had to ask us to sit on ground with him , most of us leave our seats and sit on the ground all excited for the second lecture. He takes out some small blocks from his bag and throws them towards us . Then the game begins ......

 The challenge is to build a single cube tower with blocks provided. The first person will do it blindfolded whereas in second case there would be one blindfolded person and two other people guiding him. First person with open eyes built a tower with 22 blocks . In the second case , three people were divided as CEO , Manager and worker. The blindfolded worker had to build the tower  with the guidance of manager.

To the surprise of all of us , the second team surpassed 22 blocks. And this is how modern management works.With the correct guidance of a manager who is knowledgeable and can motivate well , any person can do the assigned task.This is because the decision making part has been transferred to the manager and worker can focus on his work. Whereas CEO can just observe the progress of the work.Unfortunately , there is no skill development of that person but still the productivity is higher than the first one. 


Though there lies a challenge of job satisfaction because there is no intellectual effort needed by worker. But then Dr. Mandi ended the session saying that how much we control human mind , it will find a way to get out of it .I was amazed to learn concept in such a simple way.
