All managers are not effective and similarly efficient but even though it is a general opinion which is rational also that a good qualification and upbringing makes a good personality. But even though the performance of managers is never good and managers suffers in their performance show off which are hampered by many reasons and so than the question arises- is it a age factor or something else. The paper hence tries to identify the relations amongst these detrimental yet important factors of association for any successful personality into analyzing what matters in the performance of managers in shaping the whole of theirs dimensions of success.
