The Real Deal...The Greatest Principle ever!

The Real Deal...My Management Principle[Foolproof]..results guaranteed!

First an Introduction:We have witnessed 100s of Management Principles throughout the years,Henry Fayol's 14 principles,Maslow's theory,McGregor's Leadership theory,to name a few.
All these theories worked in some situations while they seemed useless in some situations.Anomalies which arised during situations gave way to new ideas and principles.People who were smart wrote books about their theories[Many still do..] So even if that theory is redundant to our line of work,we still marvel at the person and say "Wow!He must be a genius".Of course,people like Mr. Peter Drucker[and even after his death] were all time Management geniuses.But its people who were one-off wonders that got the world pissed off...coz they never updated,upgraded or even ameliorated their so-called 'Principles' that they put forth.So we were stuck with some quondam theories which,even if we study them till their very end,may or may not be beneficial to us in the long run.Hence,the returns aren't guaranteed.
Of Course,many purists argue that these principles form the base of Management studies.I have not yet got the opportunity to study in a Management school uptil now,but I do have some knowledge of various Management theories.Agreed that they are the base for Management studies,but if knowing these principles was a criteria for being a great manager or say,an entrepreneur,would we have ever got personalities like Mr.Dhirubhai Ambani?

I may be going on a different level here,for which i don't think i should apologise you...[Heh heh!!] ...

I am not against Management Principles in any way.I respect them.But my view here is that inspite of all that research that's gone in,all these years,why haven't we got THE perfect Management Principle.Many,including me to some extent,beleive in the Contingency approach of Management.For those incognizant of this theory,it means that everything shall be planned and be kept ready for a rainy day[read:Contingency] so that everything's taken care of when the situation arises.In case it doesn't happen,no worries.coz then at least you were prepared for it.But then again,Why spend valuable resources for things that may or may not happen?Even if the contingency doen't arise,valuable resource[viz. time] was wasted in its planning and execution.So there's no perfect theory as yet...Or is there?

Now,the thing which i actually wanna talk about:Let me get right to the point....After endless discussions with my brain[its a wonderful thing that!pity we use it scarcely],I came up with my own Management Principle.

It's a very flexible principle.Its application runs throughout the entire organisation level(s).No matter which Organisation hierarchy prevails in any organisation,No matter what flow of communication runs between the higher authority,middle and the lower level authority,this principle will work.This principle gives utmost importance to hard work and talent.If properly followed,the entire organisation's vision will turn into reality.Plans,which seemed unmanageable and/or difficult to work on-with this principle,results are guaranteed.Ninja Managers,Shoebox Managers,XYZ managers..Whatever-its for everyone!Higher authority personell who seem apprehensive at some things...look no further...follow my principle and reap rich rewards.
Some long term and short term benefits include:
1) Better returns
2) Higher task completion rate.
3) No overload of work to be carried forward everyday.
4) More people are happy around you coz you follow this principle!
5) And many more!

It ain't a Japanese technique if u are confused by the name...The name,btw,is the principle itself...coz "JuDoYoFriJo" stands for-

"JUst DO YOur FRIckin' JOb"
