Trap knowledge: What is and how it holds you back

Who among us has not fallen into the trap of believing that in order to be our worth salt and managers, and we must be omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent on the job? In fashion Truman-esque announce that the buck stops with us, and confused to take responsibility for the results with being responsible for monitoring everything that happens with the project, department, or business unit.

Everyone knows about the bottlenecks that occur when they have a lot of information flowing through one pair of hands. Typically, managers who take responsibility for every detail they spend long hours checking the work of associates (which are often administrative in nature), while the higher level functions, such as setting strategy, neglected.

On the other hand, managers who are responsible for the results performing the function of leadership, which involves placing the vision, set goals, and develop a strategy and resource management. Instead of focusing on how to do each task, the process is evaluated. Instead of reviewing the work of everyone, and is evaluated work habits to make sure that people have the skills and resources they need to achieve outstanding performance.

This distinction is crucial to the business, newly promoted, and now overwhelmed. I often find with clients who train unreasonable expectations or unrealistic is in the heart of the Hearing Alim syndrome, ever-present, all mighty. Hopefully, you at least smile when you read the title of this article, because you realize the futility of the quest literally be omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent.

There are a number of reasons that people fall into the trap of control. They include concerns about the exposure of accountability, perfectionism, and lack of confidence, and repeat the bad habits learned from former bosses. Sometimes, people fall back on skills, such as staying on top of the details, which were important in previous jobs, but not in the larger roles with the responsibility of management.

If you find yourself immersed in the details that drain your energy and keep you from activities that add value to a minimum, it may be working with unrealistic expectations. These include common insists on one particular result, is being successfully from the first try, or that something is happening in a certain way. Others are all-or-nothing thinking, and treat every setback as a disaster.

His computer consulting company was facing difficulty in business development, in part because it has made itself responsible for the acts of all its subcontractors. Defied any of the methods that are different from how it might work, and often had to correct the mistakes that were made by two inexperienced technicians who used to smaller jobs because they charged relatively low rates. Meanwhile, she does not spend enough time to bring in new customers, which raised concerns about billable hours in the coming months. It was exhausting itself in an attempt to wear the hats of the company's president, sales manager, and chief executive officer of Technology.

By choosing to see themselves responsible for the growth of its business management, not to individuals how to perform their jobs, she was able to re-prioritize. I began to devote much more of its energy on income-generating activities, and evaluate its subcontractors based on meaningful criteria such as the final result and customer satisfaction. And, she put clear conditions for skill levels and stop the appointment of inexperienced people who have called for close supervision that they can not give.

Here are some tips if you find yourself in the "knowledge trap":

● create a log of all your daily activities more than one or two week period. Order items by category and search in areas where it may be to devote a lot of time to remember rear-wheel drive.

● See if you can identify any unrealistic expectations, such as those mentioned above, that you have of yourself or other people. It can be found at ourselves objectively be difficult, so you may want to enlist the help of a coach or a mentor or colleague, or friend.

● attempt to link ideas into behavior you want to change. Let's say you're falling short of sales target because you are not making cold calls enough. What is going through your mind as you're staring at the phone? One of the organizers realized the start-ups which linked all the "no" with the possibility of an indictment of the product have ( "It's not good enough").

● reframe thinking and replace the unwanted behavior with one that is more realistic. You must have the only new pattern of thinking that you really think is more effective than the old one. The businessman mentioned above decided to look at cold calling as a process of matching the right customers to get the right product.

● visualize yourself cope with the situation in a new way. Is this in as much detail as possible, and imagine how you feel, what you're doing or saying, and the results you want. And then practice. Your chances of success increase if you have someone who can observe the times that slip into old patterns, or recurrence of new scenarios with you.

Finally, be wary of creating unrealistic expectations for change! Amendment entrenched behaviors takes time, practice, and patience, even a small start in one area. And promoting simple, but they are often very effective is to reward yourself with something useful once you achieve your goal.

Management theory - historical overview

Management theory - historical overview

business theorists more than a hundred and fifty years past management can be used to discuss the issue in depth theoretical as well as practical knowledge for many management techniques, including both positive and negative traits Of which. It is also important to look at the "structure" of different organizations to look at how it affects and is affected governance of that organization. The organizational structure is concerned primarily with the allocation of power and influence. Managers need to make decisions and need the authority to do so. A "hierarchy" is the greatest force at the top of the organization, will be the command structure in the downward direction. In power "flat organization" are distributed more evenly, but there will still be significant differences in the level of power and authority among the various members of the company. Some organizations, such as the armed forces or the police have many levels (or levels) and tall in their hierarchy. Universities, but will have a few levels between those at the bottom and those at the top, will be considered 'hierarchy is flat. "Associated" span of control "(the number of people an individual manages or supervises directly) closely related to the type of organizational hierarchy based. Many of 'buzzwords "and the new" flavor of the month theories "that reminds Mr. Whitehead is no more than the current valuation of the theories of yesteryear. And re-visit these theories will provide conclusive evidence that centralized management theory of modern education and the director.

and the work of Frederick Winslow Taylor (1856-1915)

Frederick Taylor, while a gang leader in the Department of lathe works in in Midvale, United States of America became determined to eliminate the "systematic recruitment; they unnecessary attempt by workers to do no more. put Taylor strategy where the study of certain functions, and then broken down into individual tasks, which had to be completely finished, he said. have been allocated for each task time, based on the work the timing of the fastest worker. then allocating specific tasks workers were not allowed to deviate from that task at all. as Taylor believed that money was the main motivation, it was paid for each unit completed output (freelancer)

many organizations and working methods are still the concept of Taylor affected "scientific management methods," this can be seen on factory assembly lines, and even in a commercial kitchen, where allocated to each employee small task, but specific in what makes them the meal is finished. it may not be a freelancer prevalent, but customizable, tasks repetitive dull is common . an article in the Sunday Times newspaper, 3RD April 1983 tells the plight of one worker, assembling the car Maestro in Cowley factory. He said only one hundred seconds to screw the two rubber buffers and fit three small plates to the rear wheel arch. He had received training for one night, he completed his mission on exactly 246 vehicles a day, and it was 46 minutes in the transformation of the "relaxation time."

some of the followers of Taylor's early achieved amazing results in increased production. However, the strict and repressive tactics that were employed in many cases led to industrial unrest. After they were working "scientific management methods" in the Watertown Arsenal, and was followed by a direct hit. The US Congress banned the ultimate time and motion studies in Taylor's defense industry.

The use of such methods in the modern workplace can lead to beneficial results in the short term, but for rewards in the long term must be balanced against the impact on the morale of the workforce. Let's assume that everyone can work at the same faster rate factor, and that money is the only real motive may not bear them out. Workers today want to be empowered, and take an active role in their organizations, not to be treated like machines, but if the final product is important.

Henry Laurence Gantt

Henry Gantt Taylor worked at the Steel Works of Bethlehem. His ideas were widely supportive of the ideas of Taylor, but added more humanizing approach. He expressed his belief that scientific management and repressive manner used by the unscrupulous. Gantt moved away from the price of a piece of a strict wage system, rather than the provision of fixed salary in addition to the 20% - 50% bonuses. If workers have set specific goals during the day will be paid a bonus. Introduced supervisors who also received bonuses if targets were achieved by his team.

can be oppressive regime is seen as less Gantt today in many organizations. In factories all over the world get the rewards workers for a day, weekly or monthly goals.

and the work of Henri Fayol (1841-1925)

Henry Fayol, the "father of modern management theory" is interested in how the administration, and can be applied on a global basis. His theories focus on the rules, roles and procedures.

Fayol in the "five elements of management 'are:

* planning objectives preparation, strategies, policies and procedures to achieve them.

* organization identify tasks to achieve goals. Allocation of tasks to groups or individuals, enabling those responsible for this task.

* commander assigned to carry out a specific task.

* coordinate ensure a common approach by the groups to achieve the organization's goals.

control to ensure the performance of individuals and groups commensurate with the plans, and correct if necessary.

Fayol theories are relevant today as it was ever, and most, if not all managers use his "management elements.

and the work of Peter Drucker

work Drucker in 1950 and came on that of Fayol. He has five categories of "Operations Management"

* setting targets senior managers organize goals into goals. The cascade this more new directors.

* divided organize the workload of the activities can be controlled, and provide job opportunities.

* stimulate this involves communication and create the right conditions for the goals to be achieved.

* performance measurement compared against objectives.

* stimulate the development of people to use their talents.

was

Fayol and Drucker views are very different views on the role of workers in their theories. Fayol work has a clear tendency towards the worker need to be told what to do, checking their work and correct, with the delegation of tasks and supervision of high-level managers (the hierarchy of the hill?). On the contrary, the spirit of Drucker is about empowering workers, giving them the opportunity to take advantage of their talents, with managers occupies a role that is more about helping and training workers.

ideas Fayol to not take into account people in the workplace, while Drucker takes the approach is somewhat more humane.

Elton Mayo - human relations approach

By 1930, there was emerging evidence that production can be raised through the application of motivational methods within the workforce. These ideas were very different techniques FW Taylor, although concerned with profit, and "human relations approach" to management is also concerned with social relations in the organization. This approach assumes that the workers were really committed to their companies, and that they had a desire to work in order to achieve their goals.

Elton Mayo Hawthorne experiments carried out in the factory, these sought to find ways to improve production by changing the conditions of workers and the wage structures. Worsened the conditions of workers in May, then returned to what it was. It was due to more workers to communicate and work as a unit to tighten rise in the production team. It also shows that the effect of taking an interest in the workers make them feel important and valued their opinions.

Volvo and Honda have seen the evolution of the team in recent years, with the differences between workers and managers that it is far from clear. People wear the same uniforms, and the emphasis on high communication. Develop a coherent teams who work well together and share the same goals ensures a high level of motivation to carry out the tasks required. Can be seen in the structure of this kind of organization 'hierarchy flat "with a wide period of control of the managers working on a skilled workforce and competent. The subordinates well trained and a good level of trust between managers and workers exists.

" The relations humanitarian approach "is definitely a positive way of managing the 21st century, where it should not be personal empowerment and self-esteem in question.

Mr. Whitehead that" the pain of generations of his managers well by learning to work and apply a bit of common sense proper "can not be accurately quantified. within the circle of fire, and is based on an upgrade to management positions on the inner qualifications and interview alone. the almost all management style managers on exactly what Mr. Whitehead advised in his letter. some very good and respected as such; however, there are a number large who can not manage people or their responsibilities within the organization. respect for leadership in the fire service is necessary, but in many of the rare times in the modern era. managers who have in-depth knowledge of the management strategy may well pay of the workforce to new heights. this type of organization "long tall pyramid" has many levels of leadership with spans of control for senior managers are relatively small, with wider spans of control are at the management level novices.

"an endless supply of teachers of a new spin-off of new batches of the buzz words that will help successive generations of kids whiz to get promoted on the basis of slogans "It is not an accurate description of the modern manager. It's certainly true that there are managers who, even with a backdrop of Education concerning the management is effective in their roles. This is not thinking in management theory. Management methods studies allow one to make informed decisions, and we have a wide range of options at your fingertips, and adapt to the changing pressures down the organization, the internal and external levels.

"real managers at the same time doing what they have done always, maintain discipline and tell people what to do," the idea of ​​"one style fits all" unrealistic manager, and one that has a proven track record leading to unrest. Even within a single organization the manager or managers need to be flexible in their roles. Leadership is vital, but the leader who is flexible, approachable, and have interests and aspirations of the workers and the organization at the forefront of their strategy will thrive. On the contrary, the manager who is the only interest is the level of production and profit will not be supported by those that produce this product. Respect is definitely a two-way avenue.

My review of the theories of "gurus management 'of the past was designed to show that these ideas are not new. One can look at any organization, and we see a lot of these ideas are working in parallel. With regard to the organizational structure, one can not make stereotypical assumptions based entirely on the size of the organization or the number of employees. management style and work systems working all help to determine the structure. most organizations employ many of the properties discussed above, in different ways, at different times based on the dynamics of the situation. most companies are constantly evolving and redefining themselves to meet the modern requirements of the market. There is no correct answer, or one pattern which is superior to the other. each of the positive points and negative, but without the basic ones knowledge of all, how can one manage effectively?

Custodian of leadership: the leadership of the way through slavery

leadership maid is a desire to not only lead, but to do so in an ethical manner. I realize that this may mean a variety of things to many people, but for me, it means making decisions that will be beneficial to those within the organization, as well as the organization as a whole, and put the welfare of the organization and its members before the self. It also means taking necessary measures to ensure the healthy growth of the organization and its members the measures, whether it be through additional training at the expense of the organization, or just take time out from day one to ensure that members of the organization feel worthwhile. The maid leadership has become more attractive in recent years because people are starting to realize that while the organization can achieve success under the authoritarian leader, and that success will be limited and short-lived. The most successful organizations are composed of members of the content. This can be achieved only through the leadership of the Custodian.

The main problem with driving is that some leaders have been resistant to encourage growth around them it showed. The desire to succeed constituents inside and outside the workplace, and the longing for them to become effective leaders in the community is a shining example of slavery while in a leadership role.

build relationships with constituents
In the phases to become a leader Abdu, one is for the first time dependent, then it becomes independent, then in the end he becomes interconnected with his or her constituents and the organization seeks leader to others and support the institution. The principle of solidarity is a key aspect of leadership maid, because without this relationship, and will be the throttle success. In order to move to the final stage of interdependence, and must be on a server leaders to build a relationship, which then leads to building a strong relationship with their constituents, which is mutually beneficial to the company, the leader, and its components. In order to achieve this level of success, it is necessary for a leader to show the components that are outside attention on the success of the organization as an individual.

command server evaluate
So the question is: "How can one determine the success of the leadership maid"? Although the maid leadership is foreign management of some of the leaders of philosophy, and are achieving the desired results, accepted by more and more people from this kind of leadership. Content, high-performance driving maid employee health. While not accept this is a traditional style of leadership by everyone, and the results are measurable, and after continued success, a driving style maid became more acceptable in that particular work environment.

Talent buy 21 Alqrn- A big challenge (Part I)

Introduction

in the last week, I was in Rajasthan (one of the largest state in India), travel from Jaipur to Jodhpur to Udaipur to Bikaner to Kota. It's not a fun trip, but I did not add a little more charges and face-to-face roll of the company I work with. I was in Rajasthan for 8 days, 1800+ people walked in interviews. 750 interviewed in fact, we extend the offer to 107 people. If you refer to it as "war for talent", lack of skills, or "seller employment market and, it threatens the competitiveness of many companies the situation, and the situation is getting worse. Over the next 10 years, the demand for talented far beyond the availability of skilled workers - the all levels and in all industries. before going further, lets take a look at the following numbers:

 It is estimated that 1/3 at least business failures are the result of decisions of poor recruitment and the inability to attract and retain suitably qualified.

 the average cost of replacing a manager or professional 1.5 to 3 times the salary.

 cost of working around and under performance can run up to six figures

 cost of failure consistently to attract and retain talent the good - including low productivity, morale, culture, and reputation - is priceless.

 each vacancy your organization rupees costs .000 average. for some administrative positions, it can easily run to six figures.

Although the economic situation of the country and that may affect the period of the present labor market, many of the "A- players who did not have significant opportunities for growth and change, offering job opportunities, basic and lack becomes clear - especially for those companies which did not develop a reputation as an "employer of choice between", which is the capacity and the infrastructure has not developed to compete effectively to get and retain scarce talent resources.

to get the best talent, and to maintain the talent you have to do is to become intensely competitive. Says
Most corporate employees that the biggest obstacle to pursue growth opportunities is a talent.

a small number of companies have sufficient capacity to attract talent, retain and develop -

 players get is both art and science. People who make appointment decisions in the first place "from the gut" rarely successful always.

 brand identity owners are increasingly important to compete for talented people who have many choices. Rebuild damaged brand employer often takes years.

 new technology such as the Internet sources did not reduce cycle times and increase the effectiveness of

 handing-off to a third party vendor is a treatment, not a process. Organizations that consistently attract players to develop the brand identity of the employer of choice and capabilities in attracting talent, retention, development, and process and infrastructure to support them.

understand the talent to acquire

So what exactly do we mean by the term acquire talent?
Well, just as it describes the acquisition of customers a comprehensive strategy on the identification of sectors of the market process, and target customer opportunities and managing direct marketing and sales campaigns and receiving the order (ie to get a new customer), so it involves a talent acquisition of all sub-processes about the facts, attracting and engaging talented individuals in your organization.

origin "concept" of talent acquisition of

Let's take a closer look at the traditional recruitment method of re-emerging as "the acquisition of talent" broader concept approach - which has become more and more important in the 'war for talent " . just exactly how this is different from the "normal vanilla 'employment? Well, in a large number of ways.

first and foremost, "the acquisition of talent" is part of a much wider in the quest for the companies to obtain and maintain a competitive edge in today's market a strategic approach. Other aspects include the development of talent and keep them moving, and these are primarily facing inward, while the former looks to the outside.

The core concept of talent acquisition is a move away from the "fill the box 'thinking about the one that is more active and much closer to building the skills necessary to succeed in the business world. Traditionally, talked needed employment when an individual either leaves or promoted to another job . that's when panic can set in, especially if it does not reach an internal solution appropriately, a situation that has become known as - "under the bus syndrome" is strong. building relationships or networks important skills here. the key to success in acquiring talent is how unique that I was able to take advantage of the "top performers who are not really looking for another job. They never read the ads traditional jobs or go to job boards on the Internet.

encourage private star players "to determine outside the old masters and other performance is a very powerful tool that is being used more and more. Companies that offer a wide range of rewards from in order to get these names and then act on them.

once have been identified on the talent, the next stage is to start building ongoing relationships and find that all elusive "starting point" in the career person that would get them to change jobs. that there could be a number of things but often have negative or experience a unique opportunity. the intelligence-gathering of the 'Friends' and the previous market research help in revealing exactly what interests the top players.

educate executives that talent acquisition must be the duty of every day is also a criterion for success. most of the managers, and rightly so, consider hiring only when there is a 'square' vacant on the basis of purely transactional. best talent today has a very short shelf life. so be you have a sense of urgency in bringing them on board, and the job opening or any vacancy. This tactic is very risky by some managers, but end up not making an offer for one day, "senior" performance comes to the job market, you will certainly lose them. Usually arriving in senior management (CEO, CFO, COO, etc.) in the process of building a relationship of great help in influencing the 'star' performance.

money is a basic course in seeking to acquire talent, but it's not the only element. Many companies use the traditional job classification and job grading systems to remain competitive in the side, "cash compensation". To be able to mold a chance to make it exciting and also attracts top artists, the concept of "a la carte" job description became more and more adopted a way to find the "hot button", and excite people enough to make a move. Benefits and privileges are in the lead here with long-term incentives such as stock options, used on a large scale. The concept of work / life also have an effect, and a lot of talk about this component companies but not many have embraced fully. Others look at it from the perspective of investment banking and display potential top performers' because it is a target gain, and some people even think of values ​​P / E ratio for the best talent ratios. Just think of a single moment in that analogy, it becomes a talent market is equivalent to the NASDAQ or DowJones and the attractiveness of the best talent will vary according to their performance relative to their peers the added value they can bring. Perhaps in the future you will see the presence of talent "" used indicators.

This is proving to be more and more important in giving companies a leading role and competitive advantage over others. If you will be one of the survivors, if not then the "market correction may soon be coming your way.

What is the difference between" employment "and" talent acquisition "?

one of the the most common questions is "what is the difference between
'recruitment' and 'strategic talent to gain?"

the easy part of the answer is the definition of "recruiting." it's nothing more than fill open positions. it's a tactical happened exactly .

more complicated than the answer is part of the definition of "talent strategic acquisition."

strategic talent takes to acquire a long-term vision, not only fill the jobs today, but also with the candidates coming out of a recruitment drive as a way to fill similar positions in the future.

this may be the future positions identified today by looking at the succession management plan, or by analyzing the history of attrition for certain positions. this makes it easy to predict that certain openings will occur in a specified period in advance in a timely manner.

in most cases enlightened strategic talent buy, clients will recruit today for positions that were not even exist today, but are expected to become available in the future.

taking a strategic approach in the long term to attract talent to have a big impact on the way in which the approach to the candidate. If the tactical approach pure in nature, all we ask of the prospective candidate is, "Are you a qualified and interested?"

However, if the approach is more strategic in nature, and purpose of the call is to go much further, and becomes more modern building relationships. The candidate has a chance to explain his / her future career aspirations, and recruiter collects enough information to determine whether there is a potential fit in the client organization. If during a call recruitment strategy for the candidate declares that both are qualified and interested, then the tactical nature of the appeal may be achieved automatically. If, however, the candidate lacks sufficient experience, or the timing of the move profession is not favorable, then they become candidates for the future, and all the recruiter to do is stay in touch until either to become available, or stand with open client organization up.

Most of the money spent on the acquisition of strategic talent has been spent in the state of tactical recruiting anyway. The only additional cost is the data on the high-potential candidates to collect and then stay in touch with them until they are renting. Additional cost becomes negligible compared with the value of hiring the best talent competitive with the passage of time.

strategic talent allows us to gain access to a range of competitive talent that otherwise would have missed, or worse, ignored.

it is clear that the business case for the acquisition of talent is much more convincing than just paying for positions on strategically. What we do is add a small incremental effort, in exchange for a potentially huge reward.

talent buying - a strategy

historically organizations hiring process was not treated as one of strategic importance, but many newly waking up now up to the fact that the world has changed dramatically. No more the organization can pick and choose among several candidates for the position of a large one. And it was nominated several changes in the connected world we have the scales in favor of a talented individual looking for a new opportunity.

First, of course, there's the Internet. Never before in human history, there was no such favorable technology. Candidates can now announce their desire to change jobs within minutes of decision-making and receiving inquiries about their talents in a matter of hours.

likely, it is possible that the employee quality you, after I got the "straw that broke the camel's back 'final (Score bad, negative response is decent employer, stress the additional workload, etc.) can publish their CV / resume up on the board and certain jobs in the middle of the day today, receiving three interested requests to communicate with recruits from a third party or recruitment companies in a matter of hours, to be interviewed for the role of privileged (at) tomorrow and one of your competitors, I received an offer in writing the next day and resignation that afternoon (within 2 days). scary, is not it?
but if the Internet has enabled this process to candidates, led also significant advantages to organizations .

direct access to the market a candidate

now organizations can go directly to the market a candidate, thus reducing the time it takes to find the right people, while reduced dramatically recruitment costs.
Yet so, simply publish jobs in many councils and jobs is not the solution.

best practices

instead, based on all the research we have compiled over the past 18 months, we believe that the talent acquisition need to be addressed at the highest levels in all organizations - large or small, public or private. This means that the acquisition of talent needs to fit "hand in hand" with the overall organizational strategy. It needs an appropriate level of resources behind it. It must be monitored and reported in all meetings of the Board and that it needs to involve many people within the organization who attribute to them the importance that the organization requires.

But do not despair, and given the right focus, we can help ensure that the organization becomes the employer of choice in this brave new world.

the reality of the demographics of the day may raise the issue to attract and retain talent to become a source of concern critical leadership, and has received considerable attention. Given the expected labor market and demographic trends, enterprise policies to attract talent can become the main differences and a source of competitive advantage. It revealed the changing market dominant "one size fits all" HR practices are no longer effective. Organizations should develop specific strategies for people most important that align directly with business strategy and supporting its class. While the individual approach to the needs of each institution customizable, and each approach to the critical success factors key. This course focuses on issues and challenges facing organizations in attracting and retaining key talent. While participants presented to emerging employment trends in the industry, this course will also provide participants with a selection of tools and best practices from which to draw because they have their own strategy to win the war for talent design.

Work together, and separately (or, why I hate self-storage management will not return to f)

My husband and I got married because we really appreciate each other and enjoy being together. We played off each other, and strengthen the weaknesses of each other, finishing each other's ideas. We have said often, only half-jokingly, that the two of us together make one person completely. This is probably the main reason why, after a brief period of unification of fourteen years ago, we decided we would like to get a job, or a career if you prefer, where we can work together, side by side, as a team. (Something not one of us would have thought with the former husbands.)

the idea of ​​going into our own business were not realistic at this stage (no money, no guarantees), so we set out to find the industry that would hire a couple to work as a team. Finally we spotted help wanted advertisement in the paper self-residents manage to store the couple to live in the location and management of the ins and outs of self-storage facility. Career and enticing descriptions and looked as if it was right for us alley, not to mention the fact that the experience in the self-storage is not required, so we decided to make a joint request, and we were contracting.

we moved to an apartment in the site, nervously excited about starting work on our new endeavor. We have already started planning our strategy as much as how we can assume joint management responsibilities we have and how we can divide the specificities of each mission that we were expected to perform as a team. My wife is more outgoing "people person verbal, while I" behind the scenes "administrative one, so we decided naturally to work with this, including the strengths and weaknesses of individual points best to get the job done. Of course there is always a learning curve, but for the most part, based on the description Career we have received, we are confident that we cautiously to a large extent if figured out.

being naive about the self-storage industry, ideally we should take the time to do homework over the investigation. but we were eager for the job, and am grateful for it, so we jumped in the first president with blinders on.

we have a plan for the exchange ran inside and outside duties to a bit of an obstacle almost immediately. I found myself suddenly alone in the office, flying solo, doing all rents the storage unit, and receive all phone calls, greeting all the customers and tenants, while my husband was out of grass mowing, modular cleaning, doing yard work facilities and repair. is not exactly how we pictured during the interview. sometimes our paths will cross, such as when he came inside to use the bathroom, or when they had lunch together. Otherwise, we may be able to sneak to put him do his thing with the Crown mine, although we understand that the original order in the United States will do everything we have, together, not separately.

I was more than willing to help him in the outside work, when he was allowed to have a timetable, which in our opinion is not a problem, because we did, after all, lived right there at the site, and we are 'on duty "was more than flexible hours . he said he, as a white employee collar and marketing whiz experienced, he does not shy away from being "the voice of" The Office, which allows me to fit contentedly into my favorite "behind the scenes" administrative comfort zone.

when we mentioned casually our concerns to senior management on misunderstandings obviously, we were told in no uncertain terms that the wife was to be the director of the facility, mainly in charge of the office and everything related to it, while the husband must be tough maintenance. Why? suddenly it was "management team" is not a team at all .

Needless to say that this situation did not make me happy, and my husband was not too thrilled about it either, especially when instructed our supervisor him that he did not even set foot in the office unless absolutely necessary. and grew progressively worse situation. soon, my wife is a call to other facilities to assist in the maintenance there. then cut of hours of full-time for some time, and was still expected to get everything done that is required in our facility. The whole situation was getting old. We have taken our lumps, adjusted to the learning curve we have, and now it's time to move forward. After a year and a half, we made the decision to stay in the self-storage management, but look to match the best, another more harmonious company with our desire to work together as a team, not just two people have nothing to do, who just happened to be used by the same company.

crossed state lines to meet next self storage our resident team management position, and was greeted by a Southern couple amicably graciously, owners of the company and its facilities four. We recognized them from the picture she faxed us previously, insisting that we fax them a picture of ourselves as well.

paid our hotel room (we stayed in the night), and he met us for breakfast the next day, treat, and so we can get to know each other. My husband went with the flow, like he always does, and I, being socially inept, struggled to maintain the appearance of self-confidence and interest in what was being said, especially when they started sharing stories about their lives, and to encourage us to do the same.

However, we did not get the job, and had received an offer by telephone shortly after we arrived at the house that night. We hated the company we are currently working on a lot of this time, which we gladly accepted the position, despite the fact that we did not discuss in fact, with the new employers have details about how they want to work together as a team and help each other with all duties, both within office and outside on the grounds, and in spite of the requirement of the owners that my husband shave his beard well groomed.

"I do not like it, but the decision is up to you," I remember saying to him.

", and will always grow back," he said reluctantly.

so we take them and we have begun a new adventure, with limited self-storage experience with us, and hope, though admittedly not entirely convinced that this situation will be improved and another one.

We have worked very hard in this Annex. The owners refused to rent farms, despite the size of the property and logistics, so we had full hands (like overflowing) with mowing, planting flowers, and sculpture Bush, and tree pruning, weeding and watering, not to mention the storage unit for cleaning, and an abundance of duties and other maintenance twisted very description here. All this, of course, was in addition to the Labour Office segment. , So was the owner does not believe in computers (no joke) All reports and other papers to do so manually. Payments taken using a single writing system, was created messages on an old typewriter, using carbon paper for copies, was written month-end reports handwritten calculated using adding machine.

I will not embarrass myself by revealing meager salary we used to get all of the above, but trust me, it certainly was not worth it. However, we have done our best to keep up with everything that needs to be done, and frankly, we have a first-class job. My wife and I looked like hell, but the property was in great shape.

Well, we have been largely ignored by senior management until the economy is in the area where we lived and worked began. Railways, which was the main source of employment and income for the town, and lose money, so workers began losing their jobs. It escalated the situation, which affects everything and everybody. It began retail stores and businesses shut down, and the unloading stations, and since the unemployed can not find work locally, people started coming out of the region.

Of course this also had an impact on the self-storage industry. People were not going to rental units because they can not pay for, so it was new rents are few and far between, and move-outs were abundant. As expected, the situation was affecting the whole of the profit and loss figures in a bad way.

According to the owners, our facility may evolve downward due to the fact that we do not spend enough time in the office. They claimed that two of us were very much out, and it was not possible to receive potential customers that will increase business. New Rule # 1: one of us to be in the office at all times, without exception. New Rule No. 2: It was a very small office for two people to work effectively, so one of us had to stay outside.

Thus began. My husband was out of work like a dog under the whip and sweating like a pig with a fever, while I sat in the office to do pretty much anything. Oh yeah, this makes sense. And it really improve the situation too.

This is where the brain is divided into two characters, such as twin-twin good and bad. (Except in my case, it's usually the twin bad twin "lesser of two evils.") Says personal one, "Fine. If this is what you want, fine. I'll just sit here and get paid for nothing, I care? , while the facility goes in the toilet because my husband can not keep up with that. "he says other personal," this is stupid and ridiculous. I can not do this. I will go abroad. " Needless to say, I chose the latter.

On a hot day it was the two of us outside, sweating profusely and clean 10x30 units that would be rented in the next morning, when the owners showed unexpectedly. He then went for less than a week.

husband and wife lost their homes in addition to all their jobs at exactly the same time is a shock, to say the least. Lack of money actually given three days to get out is devastating. We decided to return to the state of our country, so we can, if nothing else, at least we see a familiar foods and enjoy the surroundings missed for a long time that were not available in our current.

six, "It seems forever" months later, he was finally Taaanna by another self-storage company. He started out as the position of resident management team, but through a strange series of unforeseen events, we ended up being turned into a different center, which did not have an apartment on the property. However, we can both work there as a "team."

The idea of ​​being able to hire our very own, personally chose an apartment away from the facility, and not required to live on-site, and exhilarating, and we were very happy just to make the switch.

travel back and forth between work and home and refreshing. To be able to lock up facility and offices, actually leaving in the evening, it was fantastic. It was higher than the average wage, where we were able to catch up on our backs all the bills, which have accumulated steadily since being used by the last self-storage company.

but for all intents and purposes, the method of operating the same. It was one of you outside, and one of you at home, and Al-Qaeda. My wife did not have a problem with that, not really. Admittedly, I had a problem, and has been since the first day of our work in the self-storage environment.

I am an introvert. I unyielding and stubborn about it, too. There's no way I was going to change, and I do not want to change. This is me, and I love me the way I am. I'm not a "people person. I'm not an example of excellent customer service. The work at Wal-Mart as a cashier really put me over the edge. For someone like me, being alone in the office of one person, left to answer the phone and receive obnoxious customers throughout the day, is one step below torture. Super friendly, outgoing, people-loving and extroverts never understand. but not too bad ... I also do not understand them.

in addition, I have no particular interest in the self-storage industry. the only reason that I can until I got it to work along with my wife. I would never, application ever to self storage myself company. I would like to go back to what you were doing before we met, and sitting behind a closet in the computer with my feet, next to the square in the filling to the max with the documents waiting to be written and / or edited. ah, heaven.

somewhere along the way, and got to the point where we have agreed to take a break from the self-storage and start our own business management. the way the fire Make sure to work together as a husband and wife team on our own terms, in addition to that we have been able to save a little money that we could use to get ourselves started. A few years later, in the wake of the crash debilitating burning incident, in addition to trying to short and distasteful in the joint management of the facility retirement, we found ourselves on the Internet, and apply again for jobs Self Storage management team, denying our own "three strikes and you're out." a promise to each other that we will not go back to it again.

", and that's all we know anymore," he said. "We're good at that."

"Oi", sighed, and the desire to shoot us both.

I was hired by, stylish, Regional Director, apparently understanding cheerful, who flew to where my wife and I were living specifically to meet us. And he asked if we were ready to move to Florida. The thought never occurred to us, and we had no major objections to the right off the bat. She then arranged for the company to pay all moving expenses we have, which was a pleasant surprise unexpected to say the least. Talk about the show can not be rejected.

She does not seem to have a problem at all with the way we want to manage the facility. We explained our system to work together and get things done more effectively, and we are sure they were clear about how we like to share the responsibilities and tasks within the office and outside on the grounds. So we told her that the two of us together make one whole person. Basically it responded that it does not matter which one of us did it, or how we did it, as long as everything got done. And not necessarily every time, too. As long as I watched some degree of progress, she said, it would be more than fine. Whichever way you want to work it's fine with them. Wow, we did finally end up in the right place?

"home eventually," said my husband. Said

"We'll see. I hope so," First

our first year in the state of Florida, under its supervision, was as close as you're going than ever to get to the self-storage paradise in this age. The regional director of our True to her word, leaving mainly the United States alone and let us do the job. She expressed appreciation we have a strange feeling a little bit of humor, which most people do not seem, in addition to that they will bring us a fun little gifts, including sweets, things to decorate the office. They seem to respect us, our experience, and the fact that we really did not know what we were doing. We really liked her.

Then, just like that, to our horror, Regional Director, we have left the company. She has been out of commission for several weeks, but we just assumed they'd be back once I felt better. According to the control of the rumors, the pressure was on to blame her ill health, which apparently has not improved. She and her husband both worked for the company (he was the one who trained with us), but they rarely saw each other because they were always sent to different locations for long periods of time. They had started, way back when they worked together in the same location, but the arrangement did not last long. While encouraging the separation came. She had hinted to us several times that she was tired of being always on the unit, and that all her take a toll on her.

Regional Director, who finished her shop was recently promoted. He was hired and his wife by the company about a year Taaanna been before, and the management facility in South Florida, or they were anyway. His wife preferred to run alone office, complaining that when he hung around, and it was always under foot. So basically it became a maintenance man, landscaping, and marketing facility for him.

Then, with the so-called promotion came to travel widely in many countries for long periods of time. It got to the point where he was rarely home. Responding to a question, stubbornly he insisted that there was no problem, that his wife was an adult who can take care of itself girl. It would seem to have a problem, though, with the way we managed our facility, although he never did say much about it directly. He gave only a small frequent remarks and insinuations about our "teamwork" away from him.

With the passage of time, we can not help but notice that it was looking more and more tired. Eventually he fell very ill and was forced to work from home, ironically, but not before the arrangements for my wife and myself to be replaced by other managers. That's right, once again we lost our home and both of our jobs, with three days to get out. We never saw it coming.

was

The last thing we heard about the couple's new resident management that the wife was working in the office, and her husband was doing out landscaping and maintenance. It may never cross the tracks.

work together, each individually. I think my husband and I just do not fit into the mold. But, ha! Joke on them, because really, we do not want to.

Permanent presence of the element of risk and uncertainty means that the events and tasks leading to the achievement can never be accurately predicted. For some very complex projects, or even the possibility of developing successful completion may be in serious doubt.

The purpose of the project management to predict or speculate on the largest possible number of risks and possible problems and plan, organize, and control activities so that completion of the project as successfully as possible, despite all the risks.

In most cases, the selection of key suppliers that organizations have the ability to deliver a product or great service. However, once the contract has been the supplier goes to work signing, and the service you receive does not always coincide with the expectations. The question that Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) deals with is "Why is this happening and what can I do about it?"

The reason for this supplier performance does not always match expectations this. Whatever the product or service that you provide your supplier, and will include input (such as the ability and expertise, materials and people) that this resource apply process. This produces a outputs that provide results and value for you, the buyer. Failure to convert the input to the correct outputs that provide correct results is the main reason for the performance of suppliers fail.

This input is usually a number of advisers, the daily wage and the rate of their expertise and experience. This process is the methodology that apply to consultants to deliver the project. The output will usually be what the organizational structure, roles and tasks and job descriptions.

other typical input from suppliers, including their abilities, knowledge and experience as well as the dependability and reliability and the ability to respond.

as is the case with the practical element, you will need to identify these carefully when hiring.

Finally, the result element to achieve what you need. Value for money is the result clear, but one must also specify the results that users of the product or service requires.

Edgard which model of change - an assessment of the strengths and weaknesses

Edgard which model of change - an assessment of the strengths and weaknesses

model Edgard change, which was first published by Prosci in 1998. Prosci is a recognized leader in business process and change management research design, which the largest provider in the world to manage change and re-comparison tools and information engineering.

Research shows Prosci himself that the problems with the people dimension of change is the most common reason for the failure of the project.

In the area of ​​change management and study after study shows that 70% of all business initiatives where there is a large element of change [which is virtually all of them!] failed to achieve the desired benefits.

Summary and model who Edgard

It is based on two basic ideas:

(1) There are some people who change, not organizations.

(2) Successful change occurs when the singles matches stages of organizational change change.

to change a successful occur at the individual level, people need to move through each of these stages:

- recognize the need for change
- the desire to perform change happens
- knowledge about how to change
- the ability to perform the skills and behaviors of the new
- reinforcement to keep the change as soon as the [1945004scored

to change the organization to be successful, these individual changes need to progress in or near the same rate of progress through the commercial dimension of the change.

Prosci identify business change dimension as these elements include a pilot project:

- is determined by business need or opportunity
- known project (scope and objectives)
- Business solution design ( new processes, systems and organizational structure)
- is the development of processes and new systems
- is implemented the solution in the organization

evaluating model AKBAR

there are two completely different streams of thought that have shaped the practice of change management.

(1) engineer approach to improving the business with a focus on business processes.

(2) psychology approach to understanding human responses to change, with a focus on people.

and was the largest single cause of the high staggering failure rate of 70% of all change business initiatives excessive focus on the process rather than the people - not to take full account of the impact of the change on those people who are most affected by it.

close alliance for this reason is the lack of a process to address directly the humanitarian aspects of change.

from my point of view reflects the model Edgard that against the background of the review of Prosci and approaching the engineers to improve the business, and this is quite clear in the language and tone of the described model and with its focus on the management and operation alone.

clear strength of this model is the one who provides a list of useful management of the transitional stages of reference.

weakness, in my opinion, are as follows, and the model Edgard which:

(1) the failure to distinguish between " gradual change" and "step change"

if the change involves any of the following factors then you will definitely need to be handled as a "step change" and treated as a specific initiative outside the business as usual. Factors are: the complexity and size, scope and priority.

Edgard model which is, in my opinion, commensurate with the gradual change, a reference effective management. But it lacks quite a lot to be fully effective in a step change initiative.

(2) non-discrimination between roles and leadership positions as well as the management of

while the very definitions of change and management of the management of projects and programs to emphasize the aspect Administration [and of course this is important] a lot of the reason for the percentage 70% failure in change initiatives and directly attributable to the lack of leadership ... leadership that sees the bigger picture - to ensure that people will follow - and discipline in the program management approach that provides the tools and processes to facilitate this.

need to change the move, which will be led initiative - and it needs to be seen to be led.

(3) ignoring the need for the leadership of to deal with the emotional dimension

transition between the single-phase model Edgard that - awareness of the need for change and phase two - the desire to participate in and support the change can be huge - especially in a step change.

one of the key points that make William Bridges in his book "by switching" is that the transition is not the same as change. Change is what happens to you. Jump is what you experience.

a lot of thought leaders in the world to manage change and lead change now talking noisily about the importance of the emotional dimension of leadership, and the need to address the humanitarian dimension of the change.

To summarize, the words bridges "special:" Change can only work if the people affected by it can get through the transition causes successfully "

(4) not to see the macro management program level

3-5 steps of the model AKBAR about to learn how to change, and the ability to implement change and consolidation - make change stick, these are all related to one of the largest re-implementation of the change - which boils down to the issues of: translate vision and strategy into actionable steps.

traditional project referred to by model AKBAR - seen as a set of tasks which, if carried out successfully get a result approach . in other words, have a typical approach that has failed so consistently and spectacularly over the past 20 years.

and there is an important difference between the micro-level perspectives on macroeconomic management of change - and who failed AKBAR recognition.

at the macro level, the root cause of this is the lack of clarity and lack of communication about the aspects people how to change management - and even more fundamental - the lack of a language and framework contextual to articulate and manage the necessary processes of change that will work for the people. At this level, a large part of the solution to this lies in the recruitment of program management approach to change, and this is because it is comprehensive and takes much more into account the many dimensions ignored by a narrow range of project management led approach.

At the micro level, and provide strategy and change the culture requires a hands-on detailed management - micro management on occasions - in the details of how to do this - especially during the early stages. Even in this operational level you need to enable and support for the development of capabilities to deliver your strategy and become what you want them to become [or as close to that as is realistically possible] people.
