Why are some of the medium and small-scale companies performing weakly against the competition with the world’s most famous or you can say Top-5 companies of the world?
I know you are thinking about the above question. A global survey of around 12000 companies covers almost all types, whether it is a small-scale industry or a large-scale company. And which also included Top Executives, CFO, CEO, CXO, COO, etc. There are many reasons come into the picture stating that why many small-scale companies failed in their operations.
Inexperienced in business, Safe planning of working capital, Failure in Business Development, Product Failures, etc. are the main reasons behind the company’s failures. 36% of business owners accept the reason that they could not make a balance between the actual operational cost of a company and fewer sales in the company. Whereas 28% of the top management officials believe that poor management capabilities are the main reason behind the loss-making company.
If we see the same situation in India, Only 2 out of 10 Startups can taste success. Rest 8 startups fails due to poor management capabilities.
Now the question arises, What are management capabilities? If we take it as a simple term then it is Good Planning, True Coordination, Continuous or Regular Monitoring, Good alignment towards the company’s goals, and Regular Observation. If any manager himself sticks with these principles then there will not be any hurdles come in his success. Implementing good management is an art and a skill too. If management drives their company through the basic elements of management then they will surely become successful.
In a training program on leadership, and during the training, the trainer asked a simple yet effective question to his audience. And to be surprised all the attendees were top management executives. Still, no one could answer that question.
But What was that question??
It was very simple, What is the definition of management capabilities? Trainer feels that even a definition of management is forgotten by the managers in this competitive world. What is the reason behind this? Today’s world is a competitive world. Corporate Executives are working hard beyond the time and their working capabilities and they are too busy to contribute to their company’s success. Even they are learning a lot to keep themself ahead of their competitors. They are also attending various training programs. As we can see there is a raise in workshops like Leadership, Time Management, Creative Thinking, Work Beyond the Boundaries, etc.
