3 day course

I have applied for a 3 day course called "Fundamental to Good Management" at IPAM.
It was a fulfilling experience personally for myself.

This course gave me insights into what a good management means. It does not mean that having a fanciful title over others made you a better superior. There are many other factors that are seriously lacking in one if they do not know the critical roles that they have to resume.

We are all a part of a dynamic working force in this world. How many Superiors actually bother to find out what matters in a working environment to their subordinates ? We were asked to do one of the many quizzes individually and came together to develop into a group ranking consensus.

This is what our group came up with. The NUMBER 1 factor that matters most to working people is "Full appreciation for work done" !!! Just a simple "Thank You", recognition of work done, a praise meant so much to a worker ! It does not necessary meant monetary award !

Anyhow, our group consensus is pretty near to the "suggested" answer provided by Professor Myrtle based on some findings for the past 40 years.

1 being most important
No 1 --> Interesting work
No 2 --> Full appreciation for work done
No 3 --> Feeling of being in on things
No 4 --> Job security
No 5 --> Good pay
No 6 --> Promotion & growth
No 7 --> Good working conditions
No 8 --> Loyalty to workers
No 9 --> Tactful discipline
No 10 -> Help with personal problems

Anyhow, the survey was dependent on your current working situation. If you are a graduate new on a job, "Good pay" or "Promotion & growth" might be on top of the listing. On the other hand, if you near retirement, "loyalty to workers" might be your top choice.

If we are all given such a survey for the superior to know about our working expectations and perspective , it will be wonderful.

Anyhow, there are quite a bit of topics that were covered in 3 days from leadership behaviours, delegation, motivations, mentoring, coaching etc.
