In the mentioned sector of a
health organisation, scope for
growth in managerial skills can
be of utmost importance.
The first development
objective of mine is to be able
to stay calm and composed
even in the tough times.
Maintaining managerial
skills in the health sector
organisations requires the
necessity of being highly
communicative in nature.
Following that can be a
hectic activity for my ears
and my brain
simultaneously. Therefore,
to keep the calmness in me
I would opt for meditation in
the leisure time.
The functionality of a
manager is totally based on
the support of the
employees. A highly
experienced manager will
never involve into any
disagreement with their
employees rather than they
will convince the employee
to believe in their thought.
The best moral in a health
organisation is “one for
each other” and that is
enough for the support I
need for achieving my
objective

In a health organisation, the
demand for being disciplined
and punctual is becoming
crucial in every passing day.

objective of mine that needs to
be focussed on is discipline

the workplace.
Being a manager in the
specified sector of any health
organisation requires high skill
of leadership and developing a
sense of situational
awareness.
The third objective of mine that
needs to be focussed on is
being able to develop a high
sense of situational awareness
in the company.
As the position demands
high skilled leadership, the
ability to sense a particular
situation in a critical point of
time is a very significant
part of leadership. The
managing person in a
health organisation should
be able to visualise the
bigger picture of a situation
and anticipate the results
related to it. Exposing
myself to the system where
chances of a critical
situation is high might help
me earn a good sense of
situational awareness in the
workplace.
For earning the sense of
situational awareness in me
and perform like a high
skilled leader in the
organisation will need the
support of a highly
experienced senior
manager who might help
me with the solutions on
how to gain a good sense of
situational awareness by
sharing few of his real time
experiences.
