Managers
Official Audio Prompt
Today, I'd like to talk about an Why managers should read more to gain a broad range of perspectives and consider going back to university to improve themselves. In today's fast-changing world, managing is more than just making decisions; it's about understanding people, systems, and ideas from many angles. Some managers need all kinds of perspectives to lead effectively. By reading widely, they expose themselves to new thoughts, strategies, and global trends. Reading widely enable managers to apply their skills in different circumstances, whether in times of growth crisis or change. But reading isn't the only path forward. Going back to university can be a powerful way to gain fresh insights, challenge old habits, and learn modern management theory. In fact, the best manager is not only to know their organization better, but also to be a professor of management, someone who teaches, inspires, and shares knowledge with others. It's also important to understand that experience is not necessary, but management knowledge is Important. Of course, experience has its value, but without proper knowledge, managers may repeat mistakes or Miss opportunities for innovation.
