SELF MANAGEMENT SKILLS

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Q1. What is self-management? How is it different from management?


Ans. Self-management is managing yourself to achieve the pre-determined task or goals that you have set for
yourself by regulating your actions, etc.
Management: The organization and coordination of the activities of a business in order to achieve defined
objectives.

Q2. Discuss the importance for devising a realistic and time-bound plan.
Ans. The use of devising a realistic and bound plan are very much important, to execute a plan successfully. When
there are important projects to be done, then there should always be given a stipulated time period, which is used
for keeping track of the details.

Q3. Lack of self-confidence puts one in a vicious cycle. Comment and support your answer with an example.
Ans. Self-confidence be a must in one’s personality. One can only perform his best if he is confident in his
capabilities to complete the task. If one is anxious, he starts doubting his abilities and is unable to do his duties.
For example, one has to deliver a speech in the morning assembly. If he is nervous, he will stutter and won’t be
able to speak well. If he is confident, he will make a powerful speech that everyone enjoy listening to.

Q4. What role does parental attitude play in building one’s self-confidence?
Ans. Parental guidance and encouragement play an important role in building the self-confidence of children.
Parents need to motivate their children to perform even better, not only in good times but also during failure.
Mocking or abusing them in case of failures lead to disastrous consequences.
For example, lack of love and attention, harsh physical and mental punishments, and excessive criticism, and
derogatory remarks on a child’s mistakes can break his confidence, instil a fear of failure in him, and make him
hesitant to take on challenges. On the other hand, overprotecting parenting style also hampers a child’s self-
confidence. Shielding a child prevents him from facing any pain and struggle. It also prevents him from developing
resilience and coping with stress and failure. He may come to believe that he is incapable or inadequate.
Therefore, a balanced approach to parenting is necessary to build a child’s confidence. When a child commits an
error, parents should encourage him to try again and guide him on how to perform better the next time. This kind
of behavior prepares the child to accept new challenges, teaching him to consider failure as a part of life, and
helps in developing self-confidence.

Q5. The chapter mentions ‘measurable’ as a part of the SMART strategy. What do you understand by it? How do
you measure your progress?
Ans. A goal without a measurable outcome is like a sports competition without a scoreboard. Make your progress
measurable. For example, rather than saying ‘I will speed my learning’, a more measurable target would be, ‘I will
solve 20 math problem in 2 hours’.
On a daily basis measure progress through movement towards your progress goals. It doesn’t matter how much
you work only whether that work takes you closer to the finishing the day’s process goals.

1. They are anxious about the possibility of failure.
2. They depend of other’s people approval.
3. Such people make excuses and try to evade confronting people.
