Explain the qualities necessary in maintaining flexibility to meet daily changes

To some degree or another, we all get stressed out by change and here the

warning signs:

You feel as if life is moving too fast.You find it hard to switch gears when things don?t happen as planned.You feel you are on overload ? the pressure feels too intense.You feel panicked about whether you can handle it all.You can?t think straight ? there?s just too much information to process or emotion to experience.You?d give anything to take a break, but don?t feel you can.

Here are six qualities you need to "surf the waves of change" (or what we need to be "response-able") and ways to develop

each one:

1. Energy: Stay rested to keep your batteries charged. This way change doesn?t find you running on empty. We all need an energy reserve, just as much as we need an emergency fund in the bank.

2. Creativity: Find ways to get the creative juices flowing on a daily basis ? draw, paint, sing, dance, set your spirit free! Creativity requires freedom of expression, and that requires practice.

3. Mental clarity: Learn a way to get centered. Find a way that works for you ? there are lots of resources to help you with this. For some, it may be a walk in nature, meditation, prayer. Practice something at least a few minutes daily so that you live a more centered life and can call upon your special technique when needed.

4. Inner Calm: Learn to relax. If you do this one thing, the rest will follow! There are lots of ways to learn this all important skill ? find one that works for you and start it right away.

5. Stability: Devote time to building strong foundations in your life on all levels ? physical, mental, emotional and spiritual ? so that the waves of change don?t throw you completely off kilter. Developing the other five qualities mentioned here increase your inner stability, but this also needs to be reflected in stable and supportive relationships, health, finances, and even daily routines.

6. Flexibility: Stretch whenever you can, both your body and your mind. Try new activities and develop new skills. Expose yourself to different cultures and ways of thinking ? you can incorporate what?s useful to you and discard what doesn?t suit you. You?ll find you become more flexible and versatile. Read different kinds of books, watch different kinds of movies, and whatever you do stretch your body regularly.

Evaluate the concept of Management by Objectives (MBO)

“(MBO) is a process of agreeing upon objectives within an organization so that management and employees agree to the objectives and understand what they are in the organization.The term "management by objectives" was first popularized by Peter Drucker in his 1954 book 'The Practice of Management'.[1]

Some of the important features and advantages of MBO are:

Motivation – Involving employees in the whole process of goal setting and increasing employee empowerment increases employee job satisfaction and commitment.

Better communication and Coordination – Frequent reviews and interactions between superiors and subordinates helps to maintain harmonious relationships within the enterprise and also solve many problems faced during the period.

Clarity of goals – With MBO, came the concept of SMART goals i.e. goals that are:
