Change managers

Change management was a topic about which I had studied during my post graduation and can say I am experiencing it real time now. Today being in office when I see a lady boss, handling so many men working under her, I seriously admire that fact.

O.k. a warning in the beginning of my blog, for men, please don’t read this blog, you would hate it in the end.

Well the first two sentences were absolutely irrelevant, but now that I have given a warning signal to men, I can bring the relevance that women are better change managers as compared to men. I see women handling changes every day in their lives, they have to change the recipe they cook every day, but men take the same route to drive down to office, assuming that women cook at home and men go to office. But in today’s scenario when women also go to office (going to office is a change in the lives of women as compared to prehistoric days) which we have accepted as easily, but can men stop going to office to manage household like women? If they can I would say men are better change managers.lol

As usual changing on from the title and moving on my favorite topic of matrimony, a subject I love to write on, but hate to discuss on. What are the changes that a woman has to face when she gets married unlike men? Lately I had by mistake discussed same topic with a friend and he came to defend, it is as difficult for men after marriage to handle things as women. My next question was like how can you prove? And the answer was to balance between his family and wife. Ha! One thing and that too men can’t do, I am sure and that’s the reason that a mother in law and daughter in law often land up fighting, unlike a son in law and father in law fighting. Have you ever heard of the second scenario dude?

Change of house, change of family members. Change of maid. Maid is person who is very close to a woman after her family, even before husband. At times there is also a change of place, if not then at least change of route to go back home every day. Change of daily routines, no two families can have same schedules and routines ever. Change of eating habits. Above all the biggest change, you have to handle one more person other than your own self, as the person has been handled by mom throughout these years.

And the irony is mother of the guy becomes possessive that the girl is replacing my position. I swear mothers of the guy are far more confused these days than ever. They don’t know what they want. If they don’t allow the girl to work, the mother in-law ego gets hurt, and if she does, the mother ego of hers is hurt. But as I said women are change managers, mother in law being women changes or the girl changes, one has to win, whoever it may be. But hello, the fight is on because of a guy, who must be happily watching match, eating and drinking as though nothing on this earth has ever changed and wondering why these two women are fighting, never able to solve the fight.

Cool yea I am able to write so well on this topic of marriage that I will win over shobha de’s book on truth about marriage! ;-)!

Diverting from the topic of marriage, in real day life, it is said women are the best managers as they play multiple roles of a mother, daughter, wife, sister and many more. Yes I agree men also have equally many roles, but I am talking about managing the roles and not just possessing the roles. How is managing and change related? Well the fact managing each role requires a woman to change her role, which happens within fraction of seconds while performing the tasks. In office ask a man, to control his smoking habits, a change, he can’t do. You impose thousands of rules for men to change their habits, but nah! They would find some loopholes and time in between to continue with a habit, which is so very bad for them. Alright, can say that’s not a habit that we are trying to change but an addiction, and so can’t be changed. How many of you can change your topic that is talked with colleagues every day? I absolutely have no idea, of on what topics men talk, but we women can talk on thousands of new topics every day. Change! Yes change management in terms of topic which on the other hand changes the mood and we don’t need a holiday that changes our mood!

Make a man sit in front the system and observe what he does? No change in what he did yesterday or the topic he searched yesterday. But women can search thousand different topics, and that’s what enhances our creativity and innovation. Change leading to creativity. But men can’t change, so no creativity.

And now above all, after warning I have made, there would have been men who would have read the blog, because as I said men can never change!!!!!!
