1. Responsibility of relationship
• Managing oneself requires taking the responsibility of the
relationship which has two parts-
1. Accepting the fact that the person Infront of you is also an individual
with the strengths, values and its own way of doing things so it's very
important to get an understanding of their strength and make use of it to
achieve desired results. This can be explained by an example that a
person whose boss is a reader may be trained to write reports but his
this way will not be useful in case the new boss is a listener. Thus it is
important to have an understanding of your colleague
2. Taking responsibility for communication- Most personality conflicts
result from a lack of knowledge about what other people are doing, how
they complete their tasks, or what contributions they make what the
other people are focusing on and hoping to achieve.
2. Three ways to develop a second career:
1. Start a new career- It may be moving from one kind of organization to another
or taking an entirely different line of work
2. Develop a parallel career - Many people who had successful initial occupations
continue performing the same type of work, whether it be full- or part-time, or as
consultants. But in addition, they develop a second career that requires
additional hours. They could, for instance, take over the management of their
church.
3. Social Entrepreneurs- These are typically individuals who had highly successful
initial occupations. They enjoy what they do, but it is no longer stimulating. Many
times they continue doing what they have been doing but devote progressively
less time to it. They also launch a different endeavor, typically a non-profit.

3. The need to manage oneself is, therefore, creating a revolution in human affairs, and its very important in
today's society where everyone is expected to be successful.
