Management is an Art

What is Art? Art is a term that describes an application of knowledge & skill to come up with something new, creative and unique. In terms of Management Manager used his skill, knowledge and experience to achieve the goals by resolving any kind of operational problem. The basic features of managerial ART are as follow:-

For e.g. to become a good chef the person may not only know the recipes but he/she should be aware of using different equipment, basic cooking techniques, fresh ingredients etc. A manager can never be successful just my obtaining knowledge but he must also be aware of applying various management principles in real life situation.

2) Personal Skill: Although theoretical knowledge may be same but each one has his own technique to approach towards the jobs. This is why the quality of performance and level of success person differ from one to another.

3) Creativity: Every person has an element of creativity in line. That is why combination of intelligence & imagination is required for producing something new.

Thus all managers practice the same set of principles; what distinguishes a successful manager from others is the ability to put these principles into practice in most creative and innovative way.
