TOP 5 BOOKS ON MANAGEMENT

 

TOP 5 BOOKS ON MANAGEMENT

BEING A MANAGER CAN BE LONELY AND DAUNTING.

SHOULD YOU FIRE A PERSON?

IS YOUR COMPANY ‘S NEW PRODUCT WORTH THE INVESTMENT?

SHOULD YOU SPEND THE MONEY ON A ANEW IT SYSTEM?

THESE ARE THE KINDS OF CHALLENGES THAT ANY TYPE OF BUSINESS CAN FACE, WHETHER A START-UP OR A MULTI-BILLION COMPANY.

SO, HERE ARE THE 5 BEST MANAGEMENT BOOKS THAT WILL HELP YOU TO GAIN A LOT OF KNOWLEDGE, AND INSIGHTS INTO THE WORLD OF MANAGERS.


1.     THE ONE MINUTE MANAGER

            THIS IS A REMARKABLE BOOK THAT TELLS THE STORY OF A YOUNG MAN IN SEARCH OF A GOOD LEADER. WHILE HE ENCOUNTERS DIFFERENT MANAGEMENT STYLES, SOME AUTOCRATIC CARE ONLY ABOUT RESULTS, AND THE WORKERS SUFFERED. OTHERS WITH A DEMOCRATIC STYLE WERE ONLY CONCERNED WITH PEOPLE, AND THE ORGANIZATION ALSO SUFFERED. FINALLY, HE FINDS WHAT HE’S BEEN LOOKING FOR IN A MANAGER THAT USES THE ONE-MINUTE METHOD. THE ONE-MINUTE METHOD IS BASICALLY A WAY TO SET CLEAR GOALS OR EXPECTATIONS FOR THOSE YOU MANAGE.

 

   HOW TO WIN FRIENDS AND INFLUENCE PEOPLE

         A LIST OF THE BEST MANAGEMENT BOOKS WILL NOT BE COMPLETE WITHOUT THIS BOOK BY CARNEGIE. THIS IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS BOOKS ON LEADERSHIP EVER WRITTEN, AND THAT’S FOR A GOOD REASON.

IMPLEMENTING THE IDEAS FOUND IN THIS CLASSIC WILL HELP YOU BE A BETTER LEADER, NEGOTIATOR, AND MOTIVATOR.

 

3.    FINANCIAL INTELLIGENCE

COMPANIES EXPECT MANAGERS TO USE FINANCIAL DATA TO ALLOCATE RESOURCES AND RUN THEIR DEPARTMENTS. BUT MANY MANAGERS CAN’T READ A BALANCE SHEET, WOULDN’T RECOGNIZE A LIQUIDITY RATIO, AND DON’T KNOW HOW TO CALCULATE RETURN ON INVESTMENT.

FINANCIAL INTELLIGENCE GIVES NON- FINANCIAL MANAGERS THE FINANCIAL KNOWLEDGE AND CONFIDENCE FOR THEIR EVERYDAY WORK.

 

4.     THE ESSENTIAL DRUCKER

THE ESSENTIAL DRUCKER COVERS THE BASIC PRINCIPLES AND CONCERNS OF MANAGEMENT AND IT’S PROBLEMS, CHALLENGES, GIVINGMANAGERS, EXECUTIVES, AND PROFESSIONALS THE TOOLS TO PERFORM THE TASKS THAT THE ECONOMY AND SOCIETY OF TOMORROW WILL DEMAND OF THEM.

 

5.     IN SEARCH OF EXCELLENCE

IT WAS THE “NEW YORK TIMES” BESTSELLER FOR OVER THREE YEARS. TO DISCOVER THE SECRETS OF THE ART OF MANAGEMENT, PETERS AND WATERMAN STUDIED MORE THAN 43 SUCCESSFUL AMERICAN COMPANIES.

WHAT THEY DISCOVERED WAS THAT REGARDLESS OF HOW DIFFERENT EACH COMPANY WAS, THEY SHARED EIGHT BASIC PRINCIPLES OF MANAGEMENT THAT ANYONE CAN USE ON THEIR WAY TO SUCCESS.

6 MONEY LESSONS RICH PARENTS TEACH THEIR KIDS

 

6 MONEY LESSONS RICH  PARENTS TEACH THEIR KIDS


1)    SUCCESS ISN’T FREE

WEALTH AND SUCCESS TAKE WORK.

“BECOMING FINANCIALLY INDEPENDENT WILL BE THE FIGHT OF YOUR LIFE. YOU WILL HAVE TO BE WILLING TO SACRIFICE YOUR TIME, SLEEP AND LEISURE TO BUILD SOMETHING GREAT”,

IT’S NOT GLAMOROUS OR PRETTY. WHILE YOUR FRIENDS ARE OUT HAVING FUN, YOU WILL BE WORKING.”


2)    GET RICH SOLVING PROBLEMS

THE TOP EARNERS KNOW THAT MONEY FLOWS FROM IDEAS AND PROBLEM SOLVING.

“IF YOU WANT TO BE RICH, SOLVE A PROBLEM, IF YOU WANT TO BE VERY WEALTHY, SOLVE A BIGGER PROBLEM.”

“IT’S SIMPLE. SOLVE A BIG PROBLEM, AND THE WORLD WILL GLADLY TURN THEIR MONEY OVER TO YOU.”


3)    SURROUND YOURSELF WITH SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE

WHO YOU HAND OUT WITH MATTERS.

FIND WAYS TO CULTIVATE RELATIONSHIPS WITH WEALTHY, SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE: “ READ THEIR BOOKS, ATTEND THEIR EVENTS, DONATE TO THEIR CHARITIES… AND WHATEVER ELSE YOU CAN DO TO GAIN INTRODUCTIONS AND BUILD RELATIONSHIPS.”


4)    MONEY SOLVE MOST PROBLEMS

THE RICH AREN’T AFRAID TO ADMIT THAT MONEY CAN SOLVE MOST PROBLEMS.

“BEING RICH WON’T MAKE YOU HAPPY, BUT IT WILL SOLVE 90 PERCENT OF YOUR PROBLEMS, IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM, AND YOU CAN MAKE IT DISAPPEAR BY WRITING A CHECK, YOU DON’T HAVE A PROBLEM…”

MAKE YOUR MONEY BY SOLVING PROBLEMS, AND YOU WILL GET RICH ENOUGH TO PURCHASE YOUR OWN PROBLEMS AWAY.


5)    INVEST

“THE RICH ARE INVESTORS, NOT SPENDERS,”

TO BE A SUCCESSFUL INVESTOR, STICK TO WHAT YOU KNOW OR WHAT YOU ARE INTERESTED IN : “IF YOU ARE BASEBALL FAN, LOOK INTO INVESTING IN RARE BASEBALL CARDS. IF YOU LIKE DISSECTING STOCKS, YOU COULD STUDY THE STOCK MARKET.”

THEY INVEST THEIR MONEY TODAY, SO THEY WILL HAVE MORE TOMORROW.


6)    MONEY AND OPPORTUNITY ARE LIMITLESS

RICH PEOPLE SEE MONEY AS ABUNDANT.

“IF EARNING MONEY IS BASED ON SOLVING PROBLEMS, AND THE NUMBER OF PROBLEMS IS INFINITE, THEN YOUR ABILITY TO EARN MONEY IS INFINITE,”.

 

“REJECT THE MASS BELIEF THAT MONEY IS A SCARCE RESOURCE…

IT’S NOT. WHAT IS SCARE ARE PEOPLE WITH SOLUTIONS THAT OTHERS WAN TO BUY, AND THAT’S WHAT YOU NEED TO MASTER.”

WHEN YOU WILL HAVE FINANCIAL SECURITY ?

 

DO YOU KNOW ?

WHEN YOU WILL HAVE FINANCIAL SECURITY?

FIRST YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF INCOME

1 ACTIVE INCOME

2 PASSIVE INCOME

ACTIVE INCOME

 

THE INCOME YOU RECEIVE AFTER PERFORMING A SERVICE FOR OTHER

HERE YOUR INCOMING MONEY DEPENDS ON NUMBER OF HOURS YOU WORK.

PASSIVE INCOME

 THE INCOME YOU RECEIVE FROM YOUR INVESTMENTS.

HERE YOUR INCOMING MONEY DEPENDS ON YOUR INVESTMENTS LIKE STOCKS, BONDS, RENTAL PROPERTY, BUSINESS ETC.

WHAT IS FINANCIAL SECURITY?

THE STAGE WHEN YOU ARE NOT DEPENDENT ON YOUR ACTIVE INCOME.

WHEN YOU ARE INDEPENDENT OF YOUR ACTIVE INCOME?

WHEN YOUR PASSIVE INCOME STARTS FILLING YOUR MONTHLY EXPANSES.

WHAT THIS MEAN?

THE RETURNS YOU EARNED FROM INVESTMENTS LIKE STOCKS, REAL ESTATES, GOLD ETC. ARE GREATER THEN YOUR MONTHLY EXPENSES.

EXAMPLE:

MONTHLY EXPENSES: RS 25,000

YEARLY EXPENSES: RS 3 LAKHS

YOUR INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO: RS 50 LAKHS

AVERAGE RETURN PER YEAR: 10%

INCOME FROM INVESTMENTS PER YEAR: RS 5 LAKHS

5 LAKHS > 3 LAKHS

IN SUCH CONDITION YOU HAVE FINANCIAL SECURITY.

 THE MORE YOU INVEST TODAY WITH PROPER KNOWLEDGE, THE MORE YOU WILL BE FREE TOMORROW.

BOOKS YOU SHOULD READ TO LEARN A SELF DEVELOPMENT SKILL

BOOKS YOU SHOULD READ TO LEARN A SELF DEVELOPMENT SKILL

   Man’s Search for Meaning is a 1946 book by Viktor Frankl chronicling his experiences as a prisoner in Nazi concentration camps during World War II, and describing his psychotherapeutic method, which involved identifying a purposein life to feel positive about, and then immersively imagining that outcome. 

   Habits 1, 2, and 3 are focused on self-mastery and moving from dependence to independence. Habits 4, 5, and 6 are focused on developing teamwork, collaboration, and communication skills, and moving from independence to interdependence. Habit 7 is focused on continuous growth and improvement and embodies all the other habits. 
AWAKEN THE GIANT WITHIN
   Awaken The Giant Within is the psychological blueprint you can follow to wake up and start taking control of your life, starting in your mind, spreading through your body and then all the way through your relationships, work and finances until you’re the giant you were always meant to be.

 
THINK AND GROW RICH
  Thinkand Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill examines the psychological power of thought and the brain in the process of furthering your career for both monetary and personal satisfaction. Originally published in 1937, this is one of the all-time self-help classics and a must read for investors and entrepreneurial types.


    The core idea is that you can change other people’s behavior simply by changing your own. It teaches you the principles to better understand people, become a more likable person,improve relationships, win others over, and influence behavior through leadership.

The Biggest Money Wasters

The Biggest Money Wasters  
       


Fast food
     Eating foods that contain it can increase your LDL (bad cholesterol), lower your HDL (good cholesterol), and increase your risk for type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Restaurants may also compound the calorie-counting issue.
  Expensive cars

 The price of a new car is typically much more expensive than if you bought the vehicle used. Be prepared to pay much more in sales tax. New vehicles are said to lose up to 20 percent of their value as soon as you drive off the lot.


 
Addictions

          Addiction is a psychological and physical inability to stop consuming a chemical, drug, activity, or substance, it is causing psychological and physical harm.
      
Gambling

         Mental health disorders.People who gamble compulsively often have substance abuse problems, personality disorders, depression or anxiety. Compulsive gambling may also be associated with bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) or attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

Alcohol
        People who drink alcoholalso develop a high risk of chronic liver cancer and many other liver diseases.

Smoking
      Cigarettes contain nicotine, which is highly addictive. Even if you want to quit smoking, you may find it difficult because you’re addicted to the effects of nicotine.

Designer brands

      Huge development costs. The biggest disadvantage of branding is that it involves huge cost because brands are not created overnight and companies have to spend huge sums on advertising and publicity.

Find Highest Ever Level Of Microplastics On Seafloor

Find Highest Ever Level Of Microplastics On Seafloor


Over 10 million tons of plastic waste enters the oceans each year. Floating plastic waste at sea has caught the public’s interest thanks to the ‘Blue Planet Effect’ seeing moves to discourage the use of plastic drinking straws and carrier bags. Yet such accumulations account for less than 1% of the plastic that enters the world’s oceans.
The missing 99% is instead thought to occur in the deep ocean, but until now it has been unclear where it actually ended up. Published this week in the journal Science, the research conducted by The University of Manchester (UK), National Oceanography Centre (UK), University of Bremen (Germany), IFREMER (France) and Durham University (UK) showed how deep-sea currents act as conveyor belts, transporting tiny plastic fragments and fibres across the seafloor.

Garbege Whale Underwater Envir...
These currents can concentrate microplastics within huge sediment accumulations, which they termed ‘microplastic hotspots’. These hotspots appear to be the deep-sea equivalents of the so-called ‘garbage patches’ formed by currents on the ocean surface.
The lead author of the study, Dr Ian Kane of The University of Manchester said: “Almost everybody has heard of the infamous ocean ‘garbage patches’ of floating plastic, but we were shocked at the high concentrations of microplastics we found in the deep-seafloor.

“We discovered that microplastics are not uniformly distributed across the study area; instead they are distributed by powerful seafloor currents which concentrate them in certain areas.”
Microplastics on the seafloor are mainly comprised of fibres from textiles and clothing. These are not effectively filtered out in domestic waste water treatment plants, and easily enter rivers and oceans.
In the ocean they either settle out slowly, or can be transported rapidly by episodic turbidity currents — powerful underwater avalanches — that travel down submarine canyons to the deep seafloor (see the group’s earlier research in Environmental Science & Technology). Once in the deep sea, microplastics are readily picked up and carried by continuously flowing seafloor currents (‘bottom currents’) that can preferentially concentrate fibres and fragments within large drifts of sediment.
These deep ocean currents also carry oxygenated water and nutrients, meaning that seafloor microplastic hotspots can also house important ecosystems that can consume or absorb the microplastics. This study provides the first direct link between the behaviour of these currents and the concentrations of seafloor microplastics and the findings will help to predict the locations of other deep-sea microplastic hotspots and direct research into the impact of microplastics on marine life.
The team collected sediment samples from the seafloor of the Tyrrhenian Sea (part of the Mediterranean Sea) and combined these with calibrated models of deep ocean currents and detailed mapping of the seafloor. In the laboratory, the microplastics were separated from sediment, counted under the microscope, and further analysed using infra-red spectroscopy to determine the plastic types. Using this information the team were able to show how ocean currents controlled the distribution of microplastics on the seafloor.
Dr Mike Clare of the National Oceanography Centre, who was a co-lead on the research, stated: “Our study has shown how detailed studies of seafloor currents can help us to connect microplastic transport pathways in the deep-sea and find the ‘missing’ microplastics. The results highlight the need for policy interventions to limit the future flow of plastics into natural environments and minimise impacts on ocean ecosystems.”
Dr Florian Pohl, Department of Earth Sciences, Durham University, said: “It’s unfortunate, but plastic has become a new type of sediment particle, which is distributed across the seafloor together with sand, mud and nutrients. Thus, sediment-transport processes such as seafloor currents will concentrate plastic particles in certain locations on the seafloor, as demonstrated by our research.”

Wave, Water, Surf, Ocean, Sea, Spray

An international research project has revealed the highest levels of microplastic ever recorded on the seafloor, with up to 1.9 million pieces in a thin layer covering just 1 square metre.

The only way to reduce the amount of plastic and micro plastics in the ocean is to reduce the amount of plastic we use

Should you get ready for a lockdown tax ?

Should you get ready for a lockdown tax ?

Tax

The protracted war against the corona virus is affecting government coffers, leading to states wanting to raise taxes as much as possible in an effort to offset some deficits.

Sealed borders


With each state’s borders sealed, the risks of smuggling have been ruled out, leaving the states free to drastically raise taxes.

Back to back hikes


For example, one day after the 25% hike in the state of Andhra Pradesh, the price of liquor was increased by another 50%. The new hike is expected to add an additional revenue of Rs 9,000 crore per year.

Fuel

As oil prices continue to decline around the world, governments have decided to raise fuel prices at a lower cost; For example, petrol in Delhi rose by Rs 1.67 per liter and diesel by Rs 7.10 per liter.

Other options

There are other hikes available to governments – entertainment tax, municipal tax and registration fees on local panchayat chess, cars and property – that can be enforced at any time.

Things You can do to Improve Your Income

Things You can do to Improve Your Income

 Revenue, Business, Growth, Profit

 

If you ask several people if they would like to increase their current income the majority would respond positively to this question. Thankfully, we live in a digital world where people can find plenty of secondary sources of income.
Think of apps for example. There are apps for everything nowadays, from payment apps to apps for exercise, cooking recipes and even automotive apps that save you money. The developers of those payment get paid every time someone downloads their payment apps.

However, most people aren’t developers but this can’t stop them when it comes to increasing their income. Here are a few tips in that regard:

Teach a Language Online

In today’s multicultural world it’s common for people to speak more than one language. This gives them an opportunity to increase their income. There are plenty of teaching platforms online that give people this opportunity. If you speak more than one language then you can set up an account at one of these platforms and start teaching.
Moreover, if you know only one language you can still give online teaching a go. For example, if you’re a native English speaker you’ll be happy to know that most English teaching websites will welcome you with open arms

Sell Your Old Things

Everyone has some things that they would like to get rid of. If you have some old books, clothes, toys or an old piece of furniture then chances are that you could get some money for them. If toys are the items in question you could sell them to your local kindergarten.
Moreover, if you have a good comic book collection you might find someone online to sell it for good money. Also, having a garage sale is a good way to get rid of that old stuff and increase your income.

Do Some Chores

There are plenty of busy people in every town or city and you could make some money if you help them with their chores. As they’re super busy they won’t time to wash their clothes, iron them, clean up their apartment, mow the lawn, wash the dishes and other simple stuff.
For a price, you could help them out and use that service as your second source of income. Furthermore, older people probably need a similar type of help so you can put them on your list of clients.

Use Your Hobbies to Your Advantage
 
You can use some things that you do in your free time to earn some extra money. For example, if you’re good at writing you can find freelance websites that will connect you with a company that needs a good content writer.
If writing isn’t your thing then you can try other stuff. If you’re pretty good at exercising then you could become a personal coach to a client. What you should do is make the hobbies your hobbies work to your advantage and you’ll have a higher income.

 Virtual assistant

People only have so many hours in the day, and they have to assign value to their time. Is it cheaper to pay someone else to do things like return emails, schedule appointments, invoice customers, dispute charges on their credit cards or to do it themselves?
If their time is valued at $100 an hour and they can pay a virtual assistant $20 an hour to do them, then the choice is obvious. It makes sense to outsource those tasks. You can find these kinds of jobs on freelancing sites.
You and your employer don’t have to be in the same place. Some VA’s never even talk to their boss on the phone; everything is done via email or texting.

Real World Assistant

Real world assistants do all the same kind of tasks a virtual assistant does, but you are working in the same place. You can find these jobs in all of the traditional job finding places but if you are aware of some entrepreneurial people in your city and you can somehow wrangle a meeting, pitch yourself as their assistant.

This is a good strategy particularly if the person is involved in an industry you are interested in. You can use your time as their assistant to learn what they know and if you’re lucky, develop a mentoring relationship with that person.

Make extra money with online surveys

Want to get paid for your opinion? Using Survey Junkie you can share your opinion to help brands deliver better products and services. After you create your profile, they will start matching you to online surveys you can take online anywhere, anytime, and on any device.
