Can Managers Have An Artistic Edge?
-------------------------------------------------------------
What do an international level rugby player, a professional dancer and a documentary filmmaker have in common? They’re all managers in their own right. Now, you’d be wondering how that is logical, but hear us out! No matter which environment you are in, ultimately you have to deal with people. If one is able to develop a knack for managing people, they stand a good chance at thriving in a managerial position. Now, you don’t need to give up one for the other; you can pursue your MBA while also following your passion. At IFIM Bangalore, they have a unique perspective, where they view Management as a Liberal Art.
1. No matter what field you are in, there is always some form of management involved. For rugby players, it can be managing a team. For YouTubers, it’s managing a youtube channel.
2. You can turn your passion into a business, marrying your management skills to your arts. For eg. Saishwari, having experienced the life of a YouTuber, wants to launch a platform to support vloggers, and other influencers.
3. To be able to manage people, you have to be able to understand people. Arts, sports and other activities are what help you get that deeper understanding. If you’re able to appreciate art, appreciate sports, then you will be able to appreciate people.
