Analyze yourself Think who are you? KNOW YOUR SELF

Management Series

Self knowledge is invaluable to any one seriously intent on choosing the right life path.

If you, as a manager, don’t know yourself, you will be led into making ill-advised decisions about your life and work from which it may be difficult of impossible to extricate yourself.

It would be wrong to suggest that self knowledge is they key to managerial success.

A good manager will need a range of skills and knowledge which come with experience.

You will need to practice skills, take advice, use other’s strengths and work hard.

But self examination is a good starting point and is rarely stressed when it comes to choosing the right job for your and doing your present job best.

If you are not enjoying your job, look at situations in the past where you have enjoyed yourself and done well at something.

The chances are that you have strayed away from your natural abilities and a move to recapture them will be rewarding for you and the company you work for.

Critical self analysis

Am I in the right job?

Do you begin to feel anxious in the evening at the prospect of work the next day?

Do you talk obsessively to your partner about your work or about a member of staff?

Do you find yourself working late regularly or not taking your lunch hours because you feel you need to impress or because you have been given or taken on too much work?

Are you offhand or short tempered with your subordinates or peer colleagues?

Are you enjoying your job and clear about where it is taking you?

Do you feel your boss is incompetent and that you could do his/her job just as well?

Are you sick of being delegated to and not delegating?

Do you feel run-down or stressed?

Have you had to give up hobbies or interest because of work?

These are very important and powerful questions, so are you ready to answer or able to handle situation?

The ancient Greeks thought self knowledge so crucial that they had the phrase “know you “carved above their temple entrances .
