Unless you live on an island populated only by yourself, you interact with people every day of your life. Therefore, you are continually “managing” the people you know and meet.

Mostly, this is done without conscious thought; but whether it’s a partner, child, parent, friend or the greengrocer, these relationships don’t just happen on their own. They are managed.

You gain knowledge, experience and understanding on different levels about the people in your life, and that affects the way you deal with them. In other words, you’re pretty experienced in managing the people around you.

In the work place, however, managing people takes on a different importance. You have to give it more thought, you may go on management courses, you’re given responsibilities, objectives. And there will be expectations from colleagues about your abilities to manage others up and down the corporate ladder.

The interesting thing is that most people like being ‘managed’ if they’re being managed well. People feel more secure and better supported when they know someone has their eye on them, is monitoring their progress and is available to help with problems or difficulties.

It’s also not that difficult to learn how to manage people. Mostly it’s about feeling secure and confident in your own capabilities, combined with an ability to really hear what people want and need and to try to give it to them. It’s about being clear and communicating in ways that people understand.

Yes, it takes training; but it needs to be training that identifies and builds your current strengths and capabilities and doesn’t try to teach you incompatible skills or the “right” way to manage. Managing people well can be the best skill you acquire to get the success you want.

Nunca tantos copiaram tanto em tão pouco tempo. O filme que acabou de ser lançado. A última versão do simulador de vôo. A música no topo das paradas. Toques para o celular. Tudo isso pode ser obtido imediatamente e de graça na Internet. Na rede, copiar é tão natural quanto respirar [A]. Nenhuma geração na história teve, como a nossa, a possibilidade de conhecer e de usufruir tantas obras culturais. Hoje, pelo menos 2,5 milhões de brasileiros trocam pela Internet arquivos de música, vídeo, programas de computador e jogos. Essa turma conectada inclui, para todos os efeitos, qualquer um que use computador ativamente. Copiar é tão fácil que nem sabemos quando estamos infringindo alguma lei.

Pela lei, cada internauta que faz uma cópia não-autorizada pode ser punido. Nos Estados Unidos da América [B], mais de 10 mil já foram processados desde 2003 [B]. As multas chegaram a US$ 30 mil para cada um. Na Inglaterra, pela primeira vez, a indústria fonográfica, usando rastreadores de fluxo de dados, acionou judicialmente 90 cidadãos britânicos. Eles foram condenados, em abril do ano passado, a pagar multas equivalentes a R$ 15 mil. Em novembro do ano passado, a Federação Internacional da Indústria Fonográfica processou 2.100 cidadãos de 16 países, como Alemanha, China e Argentina. Até o momento, nenhum processo internacional atingiu usuários brasileiros.

Ninguém em sã consciência pode pregar o desrespeito à lei. O direito à propriedade intelectual garante a remuneração dos criadores de bens culturais e a geração de riqueza e empregos. A primeira lei de proteção ao direito do autor foi criada em 1791, na França, justamente para evitar o final trágico de gênios como Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, que morreu como indigente depois de compor 600 obras [C]. Hoje, graças às leis que protegem a propriedade intelectual [D], a indústria brasileira emprega 63 mil pessoas. Contudo, a troca online de arquivos é desafiadora porque melindra nossas noções mais básicas do que é certo ou errado. Pirataria é roubo? Sem dúvida. Mas é um tipo singular de roubo, pois com a cópia de um arquivo, quem assiste a um filme ou ouve uma música pirata não precisou tomá-los de alguém. Diante de um inimigo tão insidioso [E], a indústria cultural provavelmente terá de se reinventar.
