motivating. Leading is influence people to work toward a common goal and motivating is
providing reasons for people to work in the best interest of the organization. Controlling is
the last process, which is evaluating and regulating on going activities to ensure that goals are
achieved.
We can use three skill to manage. Firstly is technical skill. Technical skill is a special

abstract terms. Interpersonal skill is the ability to deal effectively with other people. Next is
analytical skill, use scientific approaches or techniques to solve problems. Then is Decision-

Direct channels are obvious and easily recognized by the receiver. Both verbal and non-
verbal information is completely controlled by the sender. Verbal channels rely on words, as
in written or spoken communication. Non-verbal channels encompass facial expressions,
controlled body movements (police present hand gestures to control traffic), color (red
signals 'stop', green signals 'go'), and sound (warning sirens).
Indirect channels are usually recognized subconsciously by the receiver, and are not always
under direct control of the sender. Body language, comprising most of the indirect channel,
may inadvertently reveal one's true emotions, and thereby either unintentionally taint or
bolster the believability of any intended verbal message. Subconscious reception and
interpretation of these signals is often described with arbitrary terms like gut-feeling, hunch,
or premonition.
Context refers to the conditions that precede or surround the communication. It consists of
present or past events from which the meaning of the message is derived, though it may also,
in the case of written communications, depend upon the statements preceding and following
the quotation in question. Immediate surroundings may also color the perceived meaning of
6
words; normally safe discourse may easily become contextually ambiguous or offensive in a
restroom or shower hall. These influences do not constitute the message by themselves, but
rather these extraneous nuances subtly change the message's effective meaning. Ultimately,
context includes the entire world, but usually refers to salient factors such as the following:
Physical milieu: the season or weather, current physical location and environment
Situational milieu: classroom, military conflict, supermarket checkout
Cultural and linguistic backgrounds
Developmental progress (maturity) or emotional state
Complementary or contrasting roles: boss and employee; teacher and student; parent, child,
and spouse; friend or enemy; partner or competitor
Intrapersonal communication
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Communication: The Social Matrix of Psychiatry, Jurgen Ruesch and Gregory Bateson
argue that intrapersonal communication is indeed a special case of interpersonal
communication, as "dialogue is the foundation for all discourse."
Day-dreaming
Nocturnal dreaming, including and especially lucid dreaming
Speaking aloud (talking to oneself), reading aloud, repeating what one hears; the
additional activities of speaking and hearing (in the third case of hearing again) what
one thinks, reads or hears may increase concentration and retention. This is
considered normal, and the extent to which it occurs varies from person to person.
The time when there should be concern is when talking to oneself occurs outside of
socially acceptable situations.[1]
Writing (by hand, or with a wordprocessor, etc.) one's thoughts or observations: the
additional activities, on top of thinking, of writing and reading back may again
increase self-understanding ("How do I know what I mean until I see what I say?")
7
and concentration. It aids ordering one's thoughts; in addition it produces a record that
can be used later again. Copying text to aid memorizing also falls in this category.
Making gestures while thinking: the additional activity, on top of thinking, of body
motions, may again increase concentration, assist in problem solving, and assist
memory.
Sense-making (see Karl Weick) e.g. interpreting maps, texts, signs, and symbols
Interpreting non-verbal communication (see Albert Mehrabian) e.g. gestures, eye
contact
Communication between body parts; e.g. "My stomach is telling me it's time for
lunch."
Intrapersonal relationships refer to those that occur within the individual mind and
within your own intellect. They involve the ways we problem solve and relate to ourselves,
as well as the way we interpret events and ideas. Before your personality is conveyed in a
visual sense, it grapples with the subconscious intrapersonal issues that plague your mind.
Your subconscious mind harbors a bountiful amount of thoughts and ideas that never surface
during interpersonal relationships.

company step into the succeed. He is important in planning activity, therefore he can control
the whole organization.
Communication skills are important when you communicate with your subordinates.
It is testing you in how to speak and listen. To be a responsible manager, you need to give a
direction to your workers to complete the work and you need to listen from them when they
facing the problem. After listening, you need to make the comment and write the report.
As a manager you need to have the human skills. Therefore, you can have a good
relationship between you and your subordinates. This skill can learn from people by people,
so from a talk you can know the personality and also their cultures. As a result, your
subordinates will respect you more.
Manager not only is the leader, but also is the role model for all subordinates. So
the time management is also important for a manager, because he is a very busy person. He
needs to manage his own time in take part in meetings, solve the company’s problem, meet
with person who want to visit and answer the phone calls. So, the time management is very
important for a professional.
As a knowledgeable manager, you need to have some skills like computer skills and
technical skills. Computer is device as technology. Many office’s works are completing by
the computer. They use computer to give order, send document and proposal and also in
controlling the machines. Technical skills are showing the performance by the workers. This
can test and know which worker have a good technique in working. Therefore, by having a
good technique worker can improve the organization of the company.
As a conclusion, be a talented manager, you should have all this managerial skills to
manage your company. So that, you can improve you company and upgrade it into the
international level.
In my opinion, I think that management is a long process that involving planning the
strategies, goal, mission and last but not least in the various ways. It also involved the
organizing, staffing, directing coordinating, and reporting in order to achieve the success
in an organization. Management also includes recording and storing the facts and
information for later use or for others within the organization .Everyone of the
organization has some management function as part of their job.
To manage the organization, I think I must need several skills to achieve success. First of
all, communication skill is necessary needed because it is so important to give the
expression to our audiences. Hand in hand with strong communication skills will become
good listening skills and public relations skills. We need to talk or give speech at any
functions like meetings, seminars and etc. Besides this, we also can answer all the
questions confidently and attract people or audiences to listen to us if we have good
communication skills.
Secondly, the ability to make good decisions quickly also is an important skill to me. When
a company faces the problem, we need to find others alternative to solve it without
wasting the time. If as a leader /CEO/manager, TIME IS GOLD to us.
Observations and thinking are the important ways to make the decisions. Through the
observations, we know what are the problem that is occur, what the causes, how it occurs
11
and so on. Then from that problem, we quickly think the ways to solve it and make a
decision to select the best ways. By doing this, we can reduce the risking of company’s
loss.
Thirdly, the leadership also is the key to success. As a leader, we must always to be able
provide motivations or advices to our team members .By doing this, we can increase the
quality in the team member’s performance and your team will be viewed as stronger. A
stronger team is looked to for better projects. This can end up being self –perpetuating. As
a leader, we responsible set the goals for yourself and your team as well .This would help
you to keep things in check and streamline things in the workplace. Besides this, we
should know and identify the strengths and weaknesses of your team to help you to
manage things efficiently. An effective leader will develop the right skills required
to maintain a healthy and happy atmosphere at work! A leader should give
authority to deserving people and ensure they help other teammates to
perform better.
Essay of Management
Management means somebody manage something, even if it just for themselves, their
personal finances or their time. These essence of management is to achieve a goal as
efficiently as possible. There are 4 basics management skills to have any success in a
management job. These are:
PLAN: Planning is the first and most important step in any management task. It also is the
most often overlooked or purposely skipped step. The amount of planning and detail
required will vary from task to task. There are several levels of planning (strategic planning,
tactical planning, operational planning, disaster planning, succession planning, crisis
planning)
ORGANIZE: A manager must be able to organize teams, task, and project in other to get the
team’s work done in the most efficient and effective manner. As a manager, they needs to:
(a) Determine the roles needed (b)Assign task to the roles (c)Determine the best
resources(people or equipment) for the role (d)Obtain the resources and allocate them to
the roles (e)Assign resources to the roles and delegate authority and responsibility to them.
DIRECT: Directing is the action step and manager have to planned and organized the work.
As a manager, they have to direct the team to get the work done. Start by making sure the
goal is clear to everyone on the team.
12
CONTROL: The manager monitor the work being done. They have to compare the actual
progress to the plan, and verity the organization is working as they designed it. They needs
to continuosly check result against goals and take action necessary to make sure that the
plans remain on track.
In other to perform the function of management and assume multiples roles, manager must
be skilled. There are 3 management skills that are essential to successful management:
HUMAN: Human skill involves the ability to interact effective with people.Manager interact
and cooperate with employees.
Therefore, technical skill deals with things, human skill concern people, and conceptual skill
has to do with ideas. A manager’s level in the organization determines the relative
importance of possessing technical, human and conceptual skills. Top level manager need
conceptual skills in other to view the organization as a whole. Conceptual skill are used in
planning and dealing with idea and abstractions. Supervisor need technical skills to manage
their area of specialty. All levels of management need human skills in other to interact and
communicate with other people successfully.
From the five lectures, I have learned a lot of things about the management. In my
opinion, I think that the management is someone who taken the place as a leader of an
organization to guide his subordinates to make success the vision and mission. In an
organization, if I am a manager, I feel that I need some skills to manage or solve the
problems.
There are three skills that need for management, technical skills, human skills and
conceptual skills. As I know, the technical skills are the ability to use his owns knowledge or
13
skills to manage. For the example, if I am working in the financial department, as a financial
manager, I must have the knowledge of financial and able to do the statistic and accounting.
The second skills management is human skills, mean that the person must have a well
relationship and communication with his shareholder, employees, and customers while
working in an organization. For the example, if I am a manager in a company, I need the well
relationship with my employees so that we can manage and solve the problems effectively.
Besides that, I also need the communication skills to interact with my customers, so that will
be more easies in market searching.
The third skills for management are conceptual skills. It is the skills that need to have
a well thinking when solving the problems or making a research. A manager also must have
the good skills in analyze and comparing on owns company and the other companies so that
can make the best decision. It also can help to success the company’s vision and mission.
The last skills are the time management skills. I think this is more important skills
compare to the other. Time management means a person (manager) must arranges his time
very well in his schedule. This is because a manager is a busy persons, he will attend
appointment, meeting for the organization’s projects or activities. If I am a manager, control
the time very well will give a lot of helps for me so that I will not late for any activities.
WHAT IS MANAGEMENT?

PRINCIPLES OF MANAGEMENT
Other than that, management can also be defined as the act, manner or practice
of managing, handling, supervision or control like management of a crisis or factory
workers. A person in-charge in management is called a manager. They usually have a
perfect skill in managing and the executive ability. They are responsible for conducting
the affairs of company to meet its objectives either the short-range one or the long-
range. Besides they must also make sure that the organization or an ongoing enterprise
will always produce profit rather than a loss.
Talking about the skills that we need to manage as a manager, there are quite a
number of skills that are involved and those skills are classified as managerial skills.
There are six skills like observation, ability to conduct and evaluate research, good
decision making, demonstrate working knowledge and expertise, implementation of
professional development program, and also monitor employee performance.
Firstly, observation, it is something that had been rarely done by a manager due
to shortness of time. But, this skill is quite important as the manager have to be the one
who knows what happened at the workers’ place. Next, ability to conduct and evaluate
research, a manager has to be someone who is able to lead the others and give some
rational orders. Thirdly, good decision making. Very good and wise in making any
decisions that involved the future of the company will be a bonus for a good manager.
For the demonstration working knowledge, it is quite the same with the point:
15
implementation of professional development program as both of them needs the
expertise in doing work. The manager is responsible in giving the best order that satisfy
the organization. The last one, monitor employee performance is also one of the skills
that are important. The manager must always monitor how the employee works to
improve their level of working achievement.
Other than those skills mentioned above, there are also some other skills like
communication, experience, leadership, delegation and also organizational. About
communication, the managers had to be an observant person. Experience can be
something helpful for the managers to handle his workers. Leadership is the most
important aspect here. A good manager is a manager that willing to work with his
employees. He must also have the delegation skills in order to delegate responsibilities to
his workers. A manager must always trust his own workers. Last but not least,
organizational. A manager has to have the ability to organize and manage teams, roles
and projects.
16
There are six skills that we have to manage. First one is doing an observation.
We can manage by doing an observation by visits to the work place often, it have to
be a priority to visit the work place. With that we can observe and ensuring the steps,
procedures and the work flows are smooth and do not have any problems. Next,
observe or monitor employee performance. They can manage by walking around
and monitor their employee by themselves in order to get know their employee
personally and ensure there are no problems and any difficulties while working. Then
we should do implementation of professional development programs. When they
know their employees well, they can evaluate them personally where the manager
can find where the strength and weakness in the work environment. So, they can
provide training and development strategies to strengthen the weaker skills in them
and give training to them. Fourth, demonstrates working knowledge and expertise.
While provide training or giving training, they can show that they are qualified and
with high credentials by showing a good leadership. Fifth, a good decision making
where they consider all the different factors before come with final decisions. Last
one is the ability to conduct and evaluate research where they can conduct with
excellence performers and evaluate research so they can predict what the future
Good Morning.

Q : What is management?
A : Management is an activity where we need to combine everyone together and set
steps to achieve the company's or an organization's goals.

organizing skills, stafing skills, the skills on how to leading or direct some
organization and the ability to control the organization.

in that certain works. Planning also can be defined as early preparation before we
do certain works.
Organizating means the ways on how we deviding our works into certain portion or
parts before we start that works.

ability to understand the degree of complexity in a given situation and to ruduce the
compexcity to a level or specific course of action that cab be defined.
Question 1
Management is an activity where we need to combine everyone together and set steps
to achieve the company's or an organization's goals.
Question 2
An Autocratic or authoritarian manager makes all the decisions, keeping the information and
decision making among the senior management. Objectives and tasks are set and the
workforce is expected to do exactly as required. The communication involved with this
method is mainly downward, from the leader to the subordinate, critics such as Elton Mayo
have argued that this method can lead to a decrease in motivation from the employee's point
of view. The main advantage of this style is that the direction of the business will remain
constant, and the decisions will all be similar, this in turn can project an image of a confident,
well managed business. On the other hand, subordinates may become dependent upon the
leaders and supervision may be needed. A more Paternalistic form is also essentially
dictatorial, however the decisions tend to be in the best interests of the employees rather than
the business. A good example of this would be David Brent or Michael Scott running the
business in the fictional television show The Office. The leader explains most decisions to the
employees and ensures that their social and leisure needs are always met. This can help
balance out the lack of worker motivation caused by an autocratic management style.
Feedback is again generally downward, however feedback to the management will occur in
order for the employees to be kept happy. This style can be highly advantageous, and can
engender loyalty from the employees, leading to a lower labour turnover, thanks to the
emphasis on social needs. It shares similar disadvantages to an authoritarian style; employees
becoming dependent on the leader, and if the wrong decisions are made, then all employees
may become dissatisfied with the leader. The leader always leads themselves into brushing
the floor.
In a Democratic style, the manager allows the employees to take part in decision-making:
therefore everything is agreed by the majority. The communication is extensive in both
directions (from subordinates to leaders and vice-versa). This style can be particularly useful
when complex decisions need to be made that require a range of specialist skills: for example,
when a new ICT system needs to be put in place, and the upper management of the business
is computer-illiterate. From the overall business's point of view, job satisfaction and quality
of work will improve. However, the decision-making process is severely slowed down, and
the need of a consensus may avoid taking the 'best' decision for the business. It can go against
a better choice of action.In a Laissez-faire leadership style, the leader's role is peripheral and
staff manage their own areas of the business; the leader therefore evades the duties of
management and uncoordinated delegation occurs. The communication in this style is
horizontal, meaning that it is equal in both directions, however very little communication
occurs in comparison with other styles. The style brings out the best in highly professional
and creative groups of employees, however in many cases it is not deliberate and is simply a
result of poor management. This leads to a lack of staff focus and sense of direction, which in
turn leads to much dissatisfaction, and a poor company image.
