“Work Experience & Knowledge – Deadly combination”

Business knowledge, Management tools, & exposure to techniques – concepts, are always proved to be useful in running any Business. But there are certain things that you have to learn on your own i.e.


People related matters: Anywhere you go, people matters the most, hence one need to handle the situations tactfully so as to keep moving.


Life is non-linear: We think life is linear while using excels sheets; however it is the other way round.
Most projections underperform in the short term, but massively outperform the expectations in the long term.


Having vague aspirations: Managers has to be precise and quantitative. Hence the plans they make are definitive rather than aspirational. Also Mangers should be realistic. What can we solve today, as opposed to what can I create tomorrow.


Outcomes are more stochastic or non determinable than we assume : For example some of the Mangers believe work on the principle that X input will generate a Y output or that X stimulus will have a Y response However, in the real world, life leans towards randomness.


People are not always rational: People has emotions, ups and downs, likes and dislikes. As a manager one has to take into account all these factors, including our own emotional being. Most of these traits cannot be taught, only acquired by experience. Hence it is important to have a combination of experience and Management techniques to be successful in the career.
