There are broadly 3 reasons
why one chooses to have MBA degree. First: after spending short tenure in
industry one feels more depth & need to have MBA degree to rise. Secondly few
graduate degrees works well when combined with MBA degree. Thirdly After
having completed graduation, market still not favorable to offer one a job so completing
MBA is also wise decision to go for. But merely completing MBA, does it make people manage their affair
efficiently? Answer is of course YES; MBA does increases your ability to
think compare to what you were before MBA degree holder. It also substantially add
network to your contacts and reach. Being a MBA myself, I thought to put my
observation on some aspect of life where people not having MBA degree uses MBA
models efficiently. They deserve space and applaud for their creative thinking
without formal piece of paper to approve them.
Whoever has achieved success
in life have some point executed Covey’s 7 habit religiously.
The habits of Covey are:-
1. Be proactive: This is the ability to control one’s environment, rather than have it
control you.
2. Begin with end in mind: This is ability to be able to
see the desired outcome and concentrate on activity which helps in achieving
the end.
3. Put
first thing first: This is discipline to complete point 2nd first which is
mental creation before moving to 3rd which is physical creation.
4. Think win-win: This is important aspect of interpersonal leadership because most
achievement is based on win–win solution for all.
5. Seek first to understand and then to be understood: Develop and maintain positive relationship through good communication.
6. Synergize: This is habit of creative cooperation.
7. Sharpen the saw: Learning from previous experience and encouraging others to do the
same. It is most important aspects in being able to cope with challenges and
aspire to higher levels of ability.
I am sure now you must be
thinking about many names hitting your mind who has followed the above and have
achieved higher level of ability without/partial formal piece of institutional
approval certificate. I am sure you are also one of them. Do you have doubt? Of
course NO; As at least you are following point 1 of being proactive and reading
my blogs.
I may be wrong but doing
MBA after you have applied the knowledge of your graduate degree in industry is
fun. This will help you relate to whatever you gaining new or adding to your
existing ability as part of MBA.
Another most common theory
is ERG Theory. We found ourselves as pendulum among the factors of this theory.
These needs are such which influence our behavior.
-Existence Needs: Physiological
and safety needs [such as hunger, thirst etc.]
-Relatedness Needs: Social and
external esteem [involvement with family, friends etc.]
-Growth Needs: Internal esteem
and self-actualization [desired to be creative, productive etc.]
Now you will find many commoners
who are not MBA degree holders but managing above theory efficiently and
smoothly. If you are one of them who is not able to manage above the way you
need always feel free to hire MBA degree holders from pool of world. I am sure you know what you need to hire MBA!
Thank You!
