One must thing what principles
does magnet exhibits that can be borrowed in management. Even I was bewildered
for a moment when Prof T. Prasad brought in magnet in our class and ask the
basic significance of magnet i.e. why magnet attracts?
Students started guessing the answer which was
ended when someone from us said the alignment property. Professor was seeking
this answer which makes this stone as a magnet.
Best managers are known for the work they fetch it out
from its team. It is not necessary that every manager is blessed with excellent
team members. Perhaps, managers have less liberty to creep about its team. An
efficiency and quality of a manager is reflected in how he/she is able to use
its given resources in best possible way.
So here is the magnet
principle which comes to a rescue for a manger who is pondering to derive the
best out of its team. Like a magnet, manager starts aligning the human forces
so that it incepts the cohesiveness among its team. Manager merely on this
innate power can bring together people and power.
E.g. M.S Dhoni did not creep
when he was given the first assignment as a captain to represent India for T20
world cup. In absence of excellent members in a team, what MSD achieved there
was a sheer example of magnet principle. He was instrumental in building a team
by pulling out their positive forces in order to be invincible in that
tournament.
Therefore the gist here is that, no team is perfect, if it would
have been perfect, then there were no requirement of managers. It is the managers
who has to carry forward all the latent forces within team facing in different
direction and then to realign these forces in a single direction so that the
ultimate purpose of an organization is served.
