Revisiting my old concepts

Can't believe I drew the drawings shown below... I still hold that against the views of most professionals and consultants. And thats tru for not only organisations but almost every process.

A new business starts having the complete randomness, the ambiguity is rife and people disoriented unaware of the priorities and culture of work.
But this bunch of people posses one of most rare strengths- The agility, The flexibility to orient themselves quickly to any direction based on the dynamic environment.

After some 2-3 years, this bunch of people calling themselves an organisation grow but formulate some rules and develop some sort of understanding which we call the nascent culture of the organisation.However, they start loosing their speed and agility though clearing many ambiguities in the process.

The third picture shows that post 3 years, the organisation becomes desperate to standardise its processes which seriously hampers its flexibilty it used to flount. The top management becomes uneasy but ambiguity is removed completely. However, this hampers the peoples ability to change and they form their own functional silos.

And last picture shows the organisations goal to achieve its old agility while still having processes which allow systematic work. This happens when they work for sytemising the change and change becomes part of their life. The picture 4 is a result of indefinite optimisation of the processes of picture 3.

The beauty of this organsiation is the underlying pattern in the seemingly random processes.

I wonder if any organisation has reached this level but would definitely want to create one....

hi ppl....
Got a quite a good response to my first blog
so here i am with some more management fundas...

so here are a few more...
(continuation from last blog)

6.love your team but dont trust them:
confused? yes, my dear you must love your team at any given point and so must they.it is important for every successful target.but, my dear naver take them for granted.manager's work isn't over by distributing tasks to the team. he must see everything goes smoothly and there is no problem in flow of info frm member to manager.
This is the difference between "job done" and "job well done".

7.Leadership:
well i referred to it in the snap of last blog.
But a manager must know wat kind of leadership is required at wat point . whether it must be directive or humanatarian , aggressive or defensive , it should be executed perfectly.

8.Motivate and be motivated.
this point you will find in any managerial behaviour book.so its no point discussing but this is one of the most important funda.

9.Lose your cool but never loose your cool:
confuse again? heres the funda... never loose your cool in executing any task. you must be cool enough to take wise decisions under any level of strain. But,yes, sometimes it becomes necessery to show that you have lost your cool to get something out of your subordinates and team.

10. planning is an instantanous phenomena
most managers think once planning is done there job is more or less over.never fall into the illusion.planning must go on at every point of time even during the course of execution of plan.
you must be clear so present conditions and suitably modify the plans. A good plan may become disaster in absence of constant modification.

11.Risk taking
there is no upper limit to innovation.Be confident and dare to take any damn risk but only when you are confident to defend it.wise risk are shortcuts to success while a wrong decision is shortcut to unemployment.

12.Step up
whenever a challenging task comes up, a manger must have guts to step up and lead the task.
its a sure shot shortcut to heavy bank balance.

13.accept your failure
Although many of officers won't advice it to any newcomer but its always better to accept your failure at some time and not look for excuses.But at the same time, you must know how to correct it.

14.NET PROFIT: the only task
many of managers define there aim as maximum production or minimum wastage etc. always set your system for max. profit for given constraints. a min wastage problem may compromise time variable or prodn variable which may affect profits. Dont mind wastage if it gives you net profits.

15.Mathematics
if you are bad at mathematics i am afraid you may not be as successful against a manager exelling in maths. believe it or not, mathematics makes person smarter and presentable...a must for any manager.
any decision or plan backed by powerful maths is always welcomed.


so thats all for now folks.
i will be back with more fundas but after a while.
the next blog will be totally new...wait for it...coming soon.

bye
and take good care of yourself.
adios

Basic rules

HI GUYS N GALS,
this is my first blog....gotta be special and something close to my heart.
i have always seen myself as a future manager and i have many ideas of how a manager can think out of the box and get his company the supreme goal: THE MAX. PROFITS.

first 3 basic rules for suvival of any career enthusiast:
1. In company's good lies your good.
2. In company's good lies your good.
3. Dont hesitate to change your company if you see a better opportunity butttt this should take into account your long term targets and a perfect plan for atleast next 5 years.

And now some basic qualities for a successful manager:

1. sell your ideas:
there are many people who have great ideas but they are not able to sell it. No wonder, they are not successful.
2. customer is always right:
if you want to shell money out of any pocket you will have to give the person in those pants wat he wants.
3. dont forget your sponsors:
i dont think this requires any explanation. yes, but an extra banner will always help you keep your sponsors happy.
4.time no constraint:
when you got a job to do you must not think of sleep or rest. A successful manager gives his best under prolonged conditions of fatigue without rest. you wanna be a top manager you gotta be all nighter.
5.No work is small:
yes dude, once you are in, even if it is cleaning floor, sometimes you have to do it.but remember,but dont forget to encash it fully. use it well to motivate your team and workers.
.

lot more to come....but enough for this episode.
goodbye and take care.
dont forget to post tour views.
