Great achievers in the past have always managed and develop themselves. We can achieve the results by
working on what they are good at by knowing our strengths and values systems. We will have to place ourselves
where we belong , perform and can make contributions .Staying mentally alert to engage with long working
life and know how and when to change the work we do are essentially important for self management.

strengths. Results can be seen when you we put yourself in your strength which is relevant to you. At the same
time feedback will also reveal when the problem is a lack of manners. Being courteous enable people to work
together..
How I perform ?
People achieves results by working on what they are good at, they also achieve results by working in the ways
they perform their best. Personality is unique trait which is formed in the early stage of life usually determine
how a person performs. To perform better one must know whether he/she is a reader or a listener or both also
know how one learns. Don’t try to change yourselves. You are unlikely to succeed.
What are my Values?
One should be aware of his or her values to be able to manage oneself. Values are not about ethics. Ethic can be
same for everybody which h can be tested by the “Mirror Test”.
Like people, organisations also have values. Strength of a person and his performance rarely conflict. One’s
value must be compatible and synchronize with the organization’s values to produce better results; else it would
lead to non-performance of the individuals

don’t belong. Self assessment which help individual to take up a suitable position in the organization.

performer when they know their strengths, method or work, their values and know where on belongs
We usually don’t think about where we don’t belong
Contribute
Usually, people take tasks assigned to them or expected them to do. Instead, one should look out at the
situation and make contributions.
R&R
Managing yourself requires makes it critical to make sure that we take responsibility for relationships.
The first part is to consider others are humans — be it your or co-workers — having their strengths, values and
style of performance. And the second part is the responsibility for communication.Whenever you communicate
to others, “This is what am good at. These are my values. This is the contribution I plan to concentrate on and
the results I should be expected to deliver.”, the response is always “Thanks for sharing this, why didn’t you tell
me this earlier”When you ask others “What do I need to know your strengths, how do you perform, your values,
and your proposed contribution?” The response will usually be “Thanks for asking. Why didn’t you ask me
earlier?”
Second half
Managing oneself increasingly leads to beign of second career.
Majority retire on their jobs and wait until they actually retire
The people who plan their second career is a minority, but they are the leaders and become role models for
many. The majority “retire” with their first career and just count the rest of the days for actual retirement.
These second careers help one to be focussed while having tough times during their lives and also help to
contribute and make a difference.
Develop parallel carreer .
Around the age of 45, Most knowledge workers reach a state of “boredom”. as they might have reached a state
of their career ladder by then. It’s important to keep oneself challenging throughout one’s life, along with
having a community to interact. And that is the reason why it is necessary to plan for a second career.
Conclusion
Managing oneself means, being Chief Executive Officer of your life. Understand your strengths, values
and how you perform. And then look for opportunities where you can leverage them. Successful
careers are not planned. Successful careers are developed by preparing for opportunities.
