Managing Oneself is a well written, inspiring book on the need to control and direct lives in order to gain and retain a foothold in the ever-changing global work culture. The book emphasises that it is essential for every person to be their own manager and promote their own interests, to survive and thrive in this world. This requires one to be acutely aware of one’s strengths and weaknesses, the values one stands by, and the guiding principles of their life. This will make it easier for a person to find the right work environment to operate from, as well as change the course of action if the need arises, to find something more suitable. It stresses on the need to take advantage of one’s strengths in order to contribute to one’s organisation or workplace and make the fifty odd working years of one’s life the most productive and successful years. The book advises readers on how they can make the most of every opportunity and create a niche for themselves in their organisation.
