MANAGERIAL EFFICACY THROUGH ROUNDED LIFE

Vidhu Gaur

Abstract


Highly effective people are not so much brilliant as balanced in their lives. The most successful people tend to lead a balanced life; while they work hard on the job, they also spend time with family and friends. This paper takes somewhat radical position for the present time, that can be a success both at work and at home, and in fact it is the people with the best family lives and the best friendships who eventually make the best mark in their careers. The paper shows ways to find such a healthy balance. The assumption is that certain fundamental principles of achievement will enable one to rise in one’s career and to get closer to the people one cares for. Tolstoy once said, one can live magnificently if one knows how to work and how to love.


Keywords
