Q.1-5. Read the following passage and answer the following questions. Certain words have been given in bold to help you locate them while answering some questions.
Today, the problem in most organizations isn’t simply that management is inefficient; it’s that the role and purpose of a manager haven’t kept pace with what’s needed. These have become the default dimensions of a manager. But they relate to pursuing a fixed target in a stable landscape. Take away the stability of the landscape, and one needs to start thinking about the fluidity of the target. This is what’s happening today, and managers must move away from the friendly confines. What will be needed from managers is to think differently about the future in order to shape the impact AI will have on their industry. This means spending more time exploring the implications of AI, helping others extend their own frontiers of knowledge, and learning through experimentation to develop new practices. While facing new situations, the best managers create leadership circles or groups of peers from across the firm, to gain more perspective about problems and solutions. Managers need to be bringing a diverse set of thinking styles to bear on the challenges they face. Truly breakaway thinking gets its spark from the playful experimentation of many people exchanging their views, integrating their experiences, and imagining different futures. Managers often encourage predictability. They want things nailed down, systems in place, and existing performance measures high. That way, the operation can be fully justifiable, one that runs the same way year in and out. The problem with this mode is it leads managers to focus only on what they know — on perpetuating the status quo at the expense of what is possible. Organizations need managers to think much more about innovating beyond the status quo and not just in the face of challenges. Many jobs devolve into trying to please one’s supervisor. The emphasis on customers, competitors, innovations, marketplace trends, and organizational performance morphs too easily into what the manager wants to be done today — and how he or she wants it done. Anyone who has worked for a boss probably knows the feeling. The job of a manager must be permanently recast from an employer to an entrepreneur. Being entrepreneurial is a mode of thinking, one that can help us see things we normally overlook and do things we normally avoid. Thinking like an entrepreneur simply means to expand your perception and increase your action — both of which are important for finding new gateways for development. And this would make organizations more future-facing more vibrant, alert, playful and open to the perpetual novelty it brings.
