Roles of managers

A manager is a person who achieves goals through other people. Basically a manager has three roles: Interpersonal roles, Informational roles and Decisional roles. Interpersonal roles are such roles that require a person's skill to interact with others( like figurehead, leader, liaison). Informational roles are roles requiring a manger to collect information both from inside and outside the organization and take action( like monitor, disseminator, spokesperson). Decisional roles are such roles that require a manager to be a good leader and make decisions under certain circumstances( like entrepreneur, disturbance handler, resource allocator, negotiator).

A manager must perform 4 important steps:
1. Planning - Process through which goals are defined, strategies established and plans developed.
2. Organizing - Determining what tasks are to be done ad who is to do them
3. Leading - Includes motivating employees, directing  others and selecting best communication channels
4. Controlling - Seeing weather plans made are being accomplished or not and taking corrective action.

Sex - dirty or enlightening?

If we deny sex, if we fight against our sexual bodily needs it becomes the center, the more you fight aagainst it the more you want to have it; the more you yearn for it. So is it a dirty bodily need of humans or is it making love, making joy, meditating??

It is often believed and seen in today's 21st century that sex has become very impure, very dirty. It is misunderstood by people as more of a bodily need but in reality sex energy is also related to the love and bliss energy inside us. Love is seen as the creative refinement of sex. Only when the love reaches it's perfection, when two people two souls merge into one and understand each other fully only then the absence of sex follows and there is Brahmacharya.

It is said that the first glimpse of meditation for humans came from sex. At the time of the orgasm, the mind becomes blank, you don't think about anything; that is the enlightened mind the free mind. But this state is achieved only for a fraction of a second and it's taken away. The only way to achieve that pleasure continuously is by meditating.

Knowledge

There  is a difference between knowledge and knowing... but what is it?? Knowledge is somewhat a therapy whereas to know means to experience. Knowledge is possible for everyone even for those who are not capable of knowing as knowledge is innate; it is inside everyone; it's not a matter of learning but rather just a mere realization of what we already know.

Knowledge creates distance, the more a person knows the more the distance; to live in mystery is a bliss. Knowledge creates a distance, a divide which we must avoid. A person who is logical is absolutely sane, he understands and perceives things from the mind whereas a person who is illogical is insane, or so it is considered in our society. But in reality sanity needs to be balanced by insanity, a person must be sometimes illogical sometimes too. Logic is the base of knowing; we learn it; we create a logic but intuition is knowledge. To know means to understand the world but to understand the world we must first understand ourselves, and to understand ourselves we must have knowledge, we must follow our instinct our intuition.

Knowledge has to be negated, but we generally replace it. We replace what we believe in with something else but it is only though insight that we can burn away the knowledge and not replace it with other knowledge, only then there is emptiness.

Organizational behavior

Organizational behavior is the study that investigates the impact that individuals, groups and structure have on behavior within organizations for the purpose of applying such knowledge towards improving organizational efficiency and effectiveness. Through organizational behavior the individuals of any organization are studied and their effectiveness is improved.

There are various objectives of the systematic study of the organizational behavior. The objectives are:
    1. Complementing intuition with systematic study
    2. Evidence based management( this implies basing management decision on the best available scientific evidence)

There are various disciplines/ social sciences that contribute to the OB field. They are:
    1. Psychology - It studies the individual behavior in OB
    2. Sociology - It studies the group behavior in OB
    3. Social Psychology
    4. Anthropology

The social psychology and anthropology studies relationships between these individuals and groups.

Economics

Economics is the study of consumer behavior and producer behavior. It studies the actions of certain consumers and producers with respect to the market conditions that may vary. The basic study of economics depends on the demand and supply models that studies consumers and producers. Through the demand and supply models the consumers and producers have certain assumptions through which their study can be completed.

Economics studies either the behavior of the individuals or the society at large. The study of individual units is the study of microeconomics whereas the study of group behavior is the study of macroeconomics. The major difference between micro and macro economics is that microeconomics studies demand and supply curves, consumer and producer behavior whereas macroeconomics studies about national income, GDP of the nation etc.

The importance of the study of economics is that through economics we can study the individual preferences of people and conclude the conduct of market equilibrium through demand and supply models.
