Personal development
Personal development is a process of individual self-development and the development of others. At the level of the individual, personal development includes goals, plans or actions oriented towards one or more of the following aims:
* improving self-awareness
* improving self-knowledge
* building or renewing identity
* developing strengths or talents
* identifying or improving potential
* building employability or human capital
* enhancing lifestyle or the quality of life
* fulfilling aspirations
* defining and executing personal development plans
1) Writing a plan, as is so often acknowledged, increases the odds of you actually carrying out that plan. So don't keep it in your head. Use pen and paper or your computer.
2) Now acknowledge your past successes. No matter how long ago those successes might be, it is a good idea to be reminded of what success is and how rewarding it feels as an experience. Write down the successes that have meant the most to you.
3) Now look at all the areas of your life which include as they say, work, rest and play. So look at your occupation, your home life, your recreational pursuits and write them all down. These must be what you are currently doing.
4) Now rate how happy or successful you are or how much you enjoy those areas you wrote down for no. 3)
5) If there are any areas from no. 3) that stick out as being energy-sapping, unhappy things or activities that you endure, or aspects of what you do that you could improve, than these could indicate a focus for your energy regarding your personal development.
6) If you are happy with everything in no. 3) or for whatever reason choose not to change anything right now, than that is okay. It at least means you have reviewed your current circumstances.
7) If tip no. 6) holds true for you, then you may be considering adding to what you already do and how you utilise your time, energy and resources. If you know what it is you want to work on, great. If you don't know, do a little day-dreaming and just let your mind flit between ideas and desires until you settle on some change that excites you. A change that you are passionate about.
8) Whatever area of your life you have chosen to change or add to and therefore to develop, it is vital that you feel motivated to change. So this change must be chosen by you and not because someone else thinks it is the right thing for you to do. You must "own" your goal for change if you are to see it through and enjoy success.
9) Now write down on your plan, in vague terms initially, what your personal development desire is (eg. earn some extra money)
10) Now you need to describe in more detail your practical ideas for turning your stated desire into your reality (eg. start a part time internet business selling shoes). What steps do you need to take to make your desire become a reality.
11) Take the steps you have written down and write target dates beside each one. This will keep you focussed on getting the steps completed and help keep you motivated as well as providing evidence that you are progressing.
12) You may need to review and refine what you do as you go along. Flexibility and a willingness to adapt to unforeseen events and changing conditions will enable you to succeed.

Management
Management in all business areas and organizational activities are the acts of getting people together to accomplish desired goals and objectives efficiently and effectively. Management comprises planning, organizing, staffing, leading or directing, and controlling an organization (a group of one or more people or entities) or effort for the purpose of accomplishing a goal. Resourcing encompasses the deployment and manipulation of human resources, financial resources, technological resources, and natural resources.
Because organizations can be viewed as systems, management can also be defined as human action, including design, to facilitate the production of useful outcomes from a system. This view opens the opportunity to 'manage' oneself, a pre-requisite to attempting to manage others
Management can also refer to the person or people who perform the act(s) of management.
7 Time Management Tips
An effective manager pays attention to many facets of management, leadership and learning within organizations. So, it's difficult to take the topic of "management success" and say that the following ten items are the most important for management success. I will, however, suggest seven management success skills without which I don't believe you can be a successful manager.
The most important issue in management success is being a person that others want to follow. Every action you take during your career in an organization helps determine whether people will one day want to follow you.
A successful manager, one whom others want to follow:
- Builds effective and responsive interpersonal relationships. Reporting staff members, colleagues and executives respect his or her ability to demonstrate caring, collaboration, respect, trust and attentiveness.
- Communicates effectively in person, print and email. Listening and two-way feedback characterize his or her interaction with others.
- Builds the team and enables other staff to collaborate more effectively with each other. People feel they have become more - more effective, more creative, more productive - in the presence of a team builder.
- Understands the financial aspects of the business and sets goals and measures and documents staff progress and success.
- Knows how to create an environment in which people experience positive morale and recognition and employees are motivated to work hard for the success of the business.
- Leads by example and provides recognition when others do the same.
- Helps people grow and develop their skills and capabilities through education and on-the-job learning.
