Words and Managing

More often than not, people who do not respect their own words have to manage using the low quality positional power

Institutes have culture, students have competencies

Institutes inculcate culture (work culture); competencies are developed by students themselves

Caveat Shareholder

Is it in the interest of the shareholders that the “the top” remains an “entitlement” and not “a responsibility”? The “talent” at the top (and the best talent is supposed to be at the top) more often than not “dispenses” the task of objective setting and monitoring; implementation is largely the forte of those not at the top. Caveat shareholder!

Essence of managing

What is the essence of managing? Making a decision or implementing one? If both are equally important then does the current curriculum in management education have depth in intricacies of implementation particularly wrt human angle? Though any scientifically taken decision can be implemented through use of positional power perhaps resonance would be missed as the talent involved could be dispirited.
