Managerial Problems – It’s the Same Everywhere

I wasn’t very surprised when my junior told me, “it’s not my fault, I told him to do the work and he has not done it. What can I do?” You must also have come across this standard excuse. Each one of us is a Champion, but seldom have we worked like a Championship Team. These two are very different terms and concepts – Champions and Championship Team.

An old story comes to mind of: Somebody, Anybody, Nobody & Everybody. A task was given to Somebody, which Anybody could do, but nobody did and later Everybody complained!

Afghanistan is certainly a part of this world and humans work here for sure. So things could not be very different, I suppose. Like globalization has spread its tentacles everywhere and it has reached Afghanistan too. The Afghans have the best of everything. Like the best of automobiles, tv channels, clothes etc. For the managerial problems too they’ve come along. It’s the duty of people like me to set things right, because we aren’t grunt workers. I am certainly not one.

I am pro productivity and a person who likes to take these managerial problems / issues head on. Their successful completion gives me a high, in this dry land! I also certainly believe in the policy that either get convinced or convince the other person. Don’t leave a discussion midway or escape / duck the issue. Issues tend to have a multiplier tendency. They could boggle any sane person if left unattended for too long. I am sure we all face this.

Many a times I’ve had to say to my colleagues, “guys I am not getting up unless we resolve this issue or finish the deal.” It may seem very hard, but at the end of the day it saves a lot of time and effort. Time as one has to restart the agenda and issue from scratch next time. All this leads to duplication of efforts. Why waste precious resources?

Though there are a plethora of managerial experiences of all. I’ll be certainly grateful if you share some with me. It will enlighten me and we both will be rich! Rich with ideas, and experiences for the future.
