Becoming a Better Manager

            Managers need to know how to understand people. People in the field of management information systems would be interested in knowing more about these two topics, this is because it could help them become better managers.  With better managers companies will improve.
            Understanding why people do what they do will help upper management know what is truly upsetting its employees and what can be done to fix it. Morale is everything inside a company and if your employees have a low morale then you need to be able to see the signs based off of what they are doing. Some examples would be: being late to work, lack of effort, or a bad attitude. “The extraordinary science of psychology can provide answers to why people do what they do” (Plous, 2014). This shows that other fields of study can help us to become better managers.
Understanding people is a very important part of both management and our everyday lives. Through understanding we can connect with people to build better relationships. “It’s one we can use in all areas of our lives to build better relationships and improve our sense of wellbeing” (Millard, 2009). A manager that has a sense of understanding can better help their employees and customers.
Managers do this through understanding why people do what they do. Also by understanding people and what they are telling them to do. People in management information systems would be interested in learning this to become a better manager.
