 There are few of us who are in a rush to go up the rung , always ready to put in that extra effort,grit and determination !

On the other hand, we also see a category of people who want to go up the ladder, but feel unsure and the need for a guiding force behind them. The third category of people are those who are so busy and caught up  with their present,  that they don’t want to think or have ever considered about climbing the rung.

Dedicated for all those who are aspiring to become managers some day and for those people who have still not started thinking in that direction, this blog with its little words and phrases aims to make you think before you get into the skin of a manager. For all those who have newly taken up a managerial role, can go through little learnings to earn your first Manger Uniform and The Manager Badge.
