Hello!
Today I will tell you a little more about my management
classes…
In fact, not only related to fashion businesses, having
good management can be the key to the success of a company. Of course, other
parameters (as satisfactory of employees, quality of the products/services,…) must
also be taken into account but I am sure about the relevancy that good
decisions can have for a business to grow and be successful.
However, being a good manager is much more than collect
and organize data once the secret is to know how to extract the results from the
whole information available, taking specifically only what matters to analyze carefully. As expected, more than theorical knowledge, a good manager
must be attentive to what is happening inside and outside of the business in
order to understand how some current and future issues can affect the company
in order to find strategies to avoid them, keeping the business in the right
way.
And, we can adapt this to other areas…
Being a blogger is not much different than running a
business when we try to find some similarities. As blogger, since the beginning,
we need to define a strategy to the blog (the purpose and the subject, target
audience, costs allowed, frequency of posts,…), making some predictions about
the future and choosing the alternative that seems to be the best. Only after starting
the blog we have available data that we can be treated to extract information
that allows us to evaluate our performance and define what to do next. However,
a lot of data (qualitative and quantitative) will be available and the most
important is to know how and which data is relevant to be analyzed and taken
into consideration.
For sure, the most difficult part of the whole process
is drawing conclusions and making decisions, being aware of what is happening around
us, due to the number of innovations that we face each day. But not everything
is bad, managing can also be very exciting. Having the power to define the
route and run through it can be quite rewarding and motivational and this is essentially
what makes me so interested in this subject.
Have a nice day,
Sofia Rocha Silva
