So, you got more accurate ideas about the level of development of your abilities for self-education and self-development. Do not be upset if this level is not high enough, you can improve it if you are ready to work on yourself. We hope that the proposed methodology for self-education1 will help you implement these desires in a purposeful and effective manner.

The methodology includes the principles and rules of self-development, the procedure for developing a program of self-development.

Principles and rules of self-development of personality

Psychological and methodological capabilities of self-development of the individual, the effectiveness of this process largely depends on what principles and rules people rely on in their life.

Everyone in the process of work and continuous self-improvement develops the principles and rules of self-development for himself. Such principles and rules of life were worked out for themselves by LN Tolstoy, AP Chekhov, NK Roerich, KS Stanislavsky and many other writers, artists, public figures.

These principles and rules are universal in nature, of universal value. Therefore, they will be useful to everyone, including those who call themselves a manager.

Note that the principle sets the general strategy of behavior and activity for a significant perspective.

The rule characterizes the tactics of this behavior and activity.

See: V. Andreev. Edict. Op.

The principle of self-knowledge For the practical application of the principle of self-knowledge, the following rules can be recommended.

1. Constantly comprehend not only what you do, but also as you do. Understanding, pay attention to the most effective methods and methods of their work.

2. Keep a diary where you aspire to analyze the reasons for not only your successes, but also failures.

3. Develop in yourself the ability to self-analysis and reflection of thinking. Remember the ancient Greek saying: "Know thyself." To do this, constantly study your strengths and weaknesses. Lean on the strengths and constantly monitor the weak.

Principle of Harmony, Simplicity and Beauty

1. Remember that Harmony, Simplicity and Beauty are achieved through strenuous work.

2. "Do not multiply the essence without necessity" (philosopher William Ockham).

3. Remember that "nature is simple and does not luxuriate excesses" (I. Newton).

4. Remember that love for the Motherland begins with the love of beauty. Russian architects said: "Only people who are poor in spirit do not decorate their homes!" Therefore, everything that we do must be Simple, Harmonious and Beautiful.

The principle of goal-setting and creative self-determination Can be recommended on the basis of the following rules:

1. "To have a goal for all life ... The goal for the year, for the month, for the week, for the day and for the hour and for the minute, sacrificing the lower goals to the higher" (Tolstoy, LN "Rules of life").

2. Remember that "who does not know which harbor he is sailing, there is no tail wind for that" (Seneca).

3. Set a goal - go to her, achieve it at all costs.

Planning principle It can be represented by the following rules: 1. When planning, consider the time, set realistic deadlines for achieving the goal. "To take time into account means to live longer" (A.Gastev).

2. Plan what should be achieved, what to do today, tomorrow, during the week, in the future.

3. Periodically timekeeping, look for time reserves.

The principle of self-organization and its rules

1. Learn to get down to business right away, without "swinging."

2. Getting down to business, focus on the main thing.

3. Change the type of activities, create incentives for yourself.

4. "Do what you do, do it, no matter what, what you do, do it well, never cope with it, if you forget something, but try to remember it yourself." Keep your mind constantly working with all possible force " (Tolstoy LN "Rules of life").

5. More often use a self-instruction: "All Enough", "I must do it", "Forward and only forward!".

6. Every evening, give yourself a self-report in your actions and deeds.

7. Remember the words of the poet: "Do not let the soul be lazy! In order not to piss water in a mortar, the soul must work day and night, and day and night!"

Principles of optimism

1. Do not despair and do not calm down, even in case of temporary setbacks.

2. Impress yourself: "I am capable of more! I solved more difficult tasks!".

3. In case of failure, look for a new method, a new tool, a new "key" for solving the problem. Remember: optimism and belief in success are the key to success!

4. "Seek in other people is always a good side, not bad, so that every day your love for the whole human race is expressed in something" (Tolstoy, LN, "The Rules of Life"). It can not be overlooked that a single principle, the rule is applied extremely rarely and can not guarantee you success. A system is needed, continuous self-improvement, taking into account the real abilities and conditions of life.

How to develop a program of self-education and self-development

When you begin to talk about self-education and self-development with a leader of any level and rank, you often hear such arguments: "Yes, I would not be interested in self-development and self-education." I realize that management, marketing and economics do not know as deeply as it should, but Only in the most general terms: Yes, and foreign (more often called English or German) would not be able to learn, but ... where to get time? " And yet ... and self-education, and self-development do not rush to say "no." Do not rush to say that your age is not the same, and you have enough to do. First, we will try to reflect on the following questions together.

1. What does it depend on the opportunity to do self-education, self-development?

2. Who can contribute to this?

3. How to practically develop a program of self-education and self-development?

Answering the first question, I would like to emphasize the following. Of course, it takes time for self-education and self-development. At least one and a half hours a day. In a week it will be 7-10 hours. And within a year ... already 500 hours!

But not only time is needed for fruitful self-education and self-development. Studies of psychologists and educators show that the success of this case depends on the following conditions and factors:

Physiological (state of health, general mood, degree of fatigue);

Sociocultural (environment, friends, microclimate in the family, the team);

Psychological (motivation, needs, degree of learning, memory, creativity, etc.);

Pedagogical (the presence of a competent, talented mentor, tutor, teacher, or the opportunity to consult in special schools of business and management, etc.).

For a manager who decided to engage in self-education and self-development, it is important to keep in mind the following: both in school and in the university the experienced teacher supervises the learning process. He singles out tasks, tasks and even doses of mastering the material for one lesson. In the conditions of self-education, you become both a student and a teacher in one person.

In this regard, you need to master the intensive methods of self-education, learn to think, solve problems in the relevant subject area: the process of self-education is organized so that it is systematic and continuous; Do not wait for results immediately after one or two sessions; Not to focus attention on time (that is, not to kill the motivation of the teaching by reasonings like: "It's the second time, but I have not learned anything yet ...").

The success of purposeful self-education, self-development of a manager can be facilitated by:

Friends, relatives, who at the same time are specialists in the field of knowledge that you want to do (for example, to learn a foreign language);

Colleagues at work whom you trust and with whom you are in a confidential relationship;

Travel, business trips;

Individual lessons with tutors;

Various self-instruction manuals;

Classes at special courses;

A series of lectures, classes;

Special literature;

Newspapers, television, popular literature.

The effectiveness of self-education and self-development largely depends on how strong the motivation of learning. It is important to study not the subject (as it is done in school, in a university), but a problem.

For example, you decided to learn English. You can study as it was practiced in schools and universities. This, most likely, will be long, painful and inefficient. The fact is that you do not need English as an object. For you, the problem is different: learn to speak English. And not at all to talk, but to speak on professional topics to independently travel to a business trip abroad. And this is for you, if ... To begin with, you need a powerful educational and developmental impulse.

Therefore, having decided to do this year in English, at least for at least a month work out with a tutor, sign up for a month intensive English language courses. And then you will do it yourself, using self-help books, tape recordings, and if there are, then video recordings of the corresponding courses.

However, before starting to develop a program of self-education and self-development, it is very useful to ponder over the following questions in detail.

1. What for you was or is a brake, a barrier for professional advancement, self-development in the last two or three years?

2. What qualities, character traits provoke you to conflicts, misunderstanding and other negative situations?

3. What hinders creatively on a high professional level to solve the tasks facing you?

4. What exactly do you lack: knowledge;

Abilities and abilities; Personal qualities; Connections, friends; Living conditions; money.

5. What do you spend your leisure time on?

6. In which areas of self-education, self-development can you achieve significant progress in the coming year?

7. Who and what can you contribute to self-education and self-development?

Try to slowly answer these seven questions. Preferably in writing and briefly. This will allow you to have an initial database, which will create a reliable planning basis for you.

When developing a personal plan for self-education and self-development, it is necessary to distinguish such spheres of the manager's life:

1. In the field of management (it is meant to manage the team) it is necessary to study special literature on management and marketing, economics, law.

In this regard, you can first recommend magazines "Personnel", "Eco", "Manager", an international journal "Problems of theory and practice of management." Here, systematically published interesting materials on the management of production activities, workshops for the leader, summarizes the domestic and foreign experience of leadership organizations, firms, etc.

2. In the field of labor and production activities, it is necessary to study their own merits and demerits in relation to the implementation of specific practical work; Watch, study how the master of his work does the work, the one whose productivity and quality of labor are much higher.

3. In the sphere of enlarging the horizon, cognitive activity, the culture of reading and speed reading should be improved, it should deepen its knowledge, purposefully, taking into account its creative interests and needs, reading literature.

4. In the sphere of communication, it is necessary to pay attention to interlocutors who are interesting not only to you. What are they interesting about? What distinguishes them from you in manners, behavior and communication? It is necessary not so much to copy, how many to comprehend, in what charm, appeal of this or that interlocutor: in ability to listen, in sense of humor, in originality of thought? And what is missing for you? What qualities would you like to adopt, develop, improve? What do you need for this? 5. It is necessary to diversify leisure. Take time to visit the theater, exhibitions, meetings with interesting people; Reserve time for out-of-town trips to nature, etc.

Here is an example of an annual plan for self-education and self-development. Note that such plans are best made at the beginning of each calendar year.
