The Lighter Side of Management Ramaswamy Thanu

This book contains the observations of a management consultant on managerial behaviour at various levels. They manifest in a developing country where the distinction between management and manipulation is often not fully understood. These collections are intended to be a garland of humour and food for thought for managers to view events and circumstances in organizations in a lighter vein, laugh and relax. However, there are some articles towards the end of the book which contain a professional approach and a key to future growth of the profession. The author wishes the readers a happy and enjoyable voyage through various aspects of managerial humour which they could read, reflect and enjoy. It is also possible that they could use some of the anecdotes in the articles as a stress relieving dose in the classroom where and when boredom dawns. For sustaining interest of the reader an element of fiction is inducted in the contents. The topics cover role of management, managerial incompetence, and corruption and the need for drawing strength and core competence from spirituality. A blend of spirituality and management can work wonders, attain human excellence and benefit the society immeasurably.
