Ten Management Lessons from Calvin & Hobbes


Many of us have long been fan of the cute kid Calvin, and his best friend Hobbes, created by Bill Watterson. Recently, I was supposed to interact with a bunch of business management students, on what to expect in the real corporate world. As I didn’t want to make the session heavy & boring, I decided to seek help from Calvin & his friend.

Sharing the same again here for those of you might find it interesting.

1.       Don’t wait for right time or opportunity. Create them.
 

2.       Good Presentation will help bring focus on a simple idea
 

3.       Think what you are doing, and why you are doing it. Your objectives and goals must be very clear
 

4.       It’s fine if you don’t have all the answers. Accept it.
 

5.       Communicate clearly. It helps in saving you from half your likely problems
 

6.       Re-evaluation and monitoring of work is important
 

7.       Feedback and appraisals help you grow. Accept them.
 

8.       Let others know about your work. If others follow or copy you, it’ll help build your name
 

9.       Manage your risks. Do your cost-benefit analysis
 

10.   Love your work. It’s the key to your success.
