Relevance of anthropology for administrator

Anthropology equips an administrator with the skill to deal with people.

When people come to meet an administrator with their grievances,

anthropological skill requires an administrator to come out of his officer-

ego state and positions himself in an alter-ego state, indentifying himself

with the people and analyzing their problem from their point of view.

When the administrator joins people as partner, a participatory and

relaxed environment emerges for understanding and arriving at a solution

of the people. Anthropological exposure requires an administrator to come

in and to come out of administrative role- frame as many times as the

situation demands.
