ISSUES OF STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT FOR THE EVOLUTION OF INTELLECT

THE PREAMBLE

Life moves typically in two directions only. One is, in the direction of once own hobby or volition. Any one in this direction derives the utmost pleasure from the mere continuance of one’s own activities in such line of interest. If this volition does not generate funds by itself then the resources for mundane needs of life are drawn from other reserves or earnings – ancestral properties or petty / part-time jobs or such others. In quite many cases the needs of life may be settled or contracted to the barest minimum. Responsibilities of feeding and supporting the dependent family members may be compressed to minimal size or even totally left to winds (this social crime is conveniently forgotten or ignored in the great pleasure derived from the satisfactory pursuit of hobby). So on and so forth, such lives move ahead.

The other direction is taking up challenges of life that the contemporary social stage and some option of an individual compels upon. This taking up challenges needs some competencies. For such reason individuals in this direction of life are supposed to acquire the suitable competencies. Competencies are acquired right from birth. Often the socio-economic background of the very birth itself, what to speak of growth, offers or denies some competencies. Greater the spread of formal education in social system greater is the role of schools and colleges in imparting the competencies. The development of competencies at school level is of very crucial importance. Almost all of it depends on the teacher/school and the adult world – both caring and uncaring. However, in this article our focus is on college level contribution for competency growth and the self-guided or self-served competency growth thereafter.

‘WE LIVE ONLY ONCE! IT IS ENOUGH IF WE LIVE RIGHT!!

To live is to master the philosophy of change. Even otherwise too is nice – it doesn’t need to master anything to be nice. It is sufficient and just sufficient if one is kind and simple to be a nice human being.

THE COMPETENCY GROWTH MODEL

LAUNCHING LINES

The growth of competencies takes a multi-formal / multi-developmental path. The growth, first of all, at a macro-level involves various phases. It is not necessary that all the given people start at the same phase, nor that as a matter of natural law/rule keep scaling up continuously, nor that every one scales up at the same pace.

Different people start, may, at different phases. Some people remain stuck at a phase. They may never scale up or they may scale up too late.

Of course, no regrets! Even if one is stuck up at a moderate level phase and feels comfortable no heavens fall down or crack. There is some place at every phase for permanent settlers.
