Natural Management, An Art and Science

All educations; science, biology, mathematics, law, art and design, computers, doctor, goes to one goal, make money to survive. Yeah! Economic is also included to those education. Those educations go to one goal, Make money based on its core, after make money, buy some food, and eat growth, reproduction and death in the end.
An example below can explain my topic.
A lawyer, after passes his formal education; gets back to his place (town) and open a firm (lawyer office). He hires some staff. Let us see. In university, in university, he didn’t teach about how to manage a firm, specifically he didn’t teach about how to manage formal business.
Not only the lawyer, most people from another basic formal education (except economic, business, management program) have a problem if running a formal business. Accounting reporting, management plans, calculating and analysis cost are difficult for them.
Maybe the lawyer has hired an accounting and manager to run his business or help him to manage the firm, but he must understand about them all. Don’t let your staffs run the business and you don’t know at all because you haven’t business basic.
Actually management is natural and art. Human know well about it. Simple example, if he can manages his time it means he manage it base on his natural talent.
Modern and legal business need more than talent although history teaches us that many success stories came from people without formal and legal business education. If those people are born with management talent, they didn’t need to get scholar in business education. Otherwise people have some trouble in management talent; he must take or enter to business formal study to sharp his talent in business.
Back in topic!
If a lawyer doesn’t have business management talent, it is natural because he came from different core study. Chemistry also did. When he pass his formal education, back to his town and become an entrepreneur, open a business. He actually blinds about business, how to manage his business, how to bring or manage his business in modern way.
To anticipate those cases and problems, many scholars after pass their scholar, continue their formal school in business and management, how to manage a professional business. That is the new trend.
An MBA program is an example. If chemistry is hired in a company and his carrier is good and rose. He has opportunity to be manager or director even president director. A problem goes to him (we assume that he doesn’t have good natural talent in business or management). Can stakeholders give the opportunity to him?
To prepare those things, the chemistry (follow the trend) must get his MBA; because MBA is the criterion for legal company (many state companies use it and also some private companies) to get high position in managerial staff.
My friend said to me when he passed from university. I would like to get my master in MBA so my carrier doesn’t put on hold in staff or mechanical engineering. I think my carrier can goes to top carrier, Managerial or Director. MBA or something similar is an absolutely requirement for me so I have get my MBA.
While you have natural managerial talent, you couldn’t did like my friend in some cases but you must did it because legal formal requirement.
In my opinion for my last opinion:
Management or managing a formal business needs a professional business talent. Management is an art and science. As an art is based on natural talent otherwise as a science is based on formal education and both skill are good and have the same level.
You have some optional to manage your business; hire staff (economic background) to fill their specialist position. You also increase your business talent with reading a professional managerial book, read success story businessmen or get your formal economic background.
