SREA Gets In On $75 Million Project. Investors Respond! Score One Inc. SREA $0.20 UP 33% Investors are hyped about this new project. It will not only bring increased revenues to Score but increased exposure on an international project like this. Read the news and get on SREA firs thing Monday! It is another attempt to view people as manageable chatte HR is less functionally oriented, operating more as business partners and consultants in the organisation. They do not like it being suggested that they are not creative enough. I had been much too busy figuring out what my next order would be to find out what the troops thought about things. START-UP: Most start-ups begin with an idea. The answer is obvious: it would be dumb to try if no one will listen. Once you understand all that they know about the problem, ask them if they might have a suggested solution or know someone who might. The concept that information is enough halts progress. Unsurprisingly all of these proved to be costly mistakes as it was like trying to move forwards while facing backwards. The evidence suggests that to be successful, a strategic plan needs the support, understanding and involvement of people at all levels in an organisation. But this is not to say that remaining within a single organisation is necessarily bad. But rather than learning from their success, I fear that our arrogance is causing us to ignore it. Recruitment, development, discipline, motivation and management are all tasks of line managers. Without them a great deal of great companies and industries could not exist. Encourage members to be competitive? I saw management as a process of delegation and issuing commands while leadership was some sort of aura that people credited you with based on your results. One of the case studies portrayed a short, somewhat ugly, stooped over and poorly dressed manager who was continually coughing up phlegm. Gaining employee commitment is far more important than solving individual workplace problems, and besides, committed employees will on their own solve many, many more problems than you can. All that being the case, how come good teamwork so difficult to achieve? Both are necessary, both are important and both should relate to one another, but the two should not be confused. He was a terrible manager who exemplified how bad one can be in managing a group of people. It is very difficult for a business to admit that it has need for new ideas. At Dynamic Technologies, we have been carrying out a research programme to develop practical guidelines for project managers in recognising and dealing with corporate cultures. To address this Knight lays out a simple formulae for success: Capture the business strategy in the performance measures. Leadership skill as well as leadership theory is easy to understand, straightforward and inherently natural. WHAT IF management took this one step further and went out of its way to provide information relevant to job, company and anything which might affect or be of interest to each employee? Hands up those who look in the mirror each morning and admire the resource staring back at them. About the author Edward de Bono is the world's leading authority in the field of creative thinking and the teaching of thinking as a skill. Put creativity above efficiency? It took me at least ten years to begin to get results. It is obvious therefore that strategic awareness can be learned on the job and even taught. There isn't motivation for change. The thinker carries out the task and then reacts to the improved perception. In a recent Harvard Business Review article, Michael Mankins and Richard Steele describe what they call the Venetian Blinds of Business. He looked, dressed and coughed the same as he had in the previous study, but was adored by his people. Sometimes the correct information is a substitute for thinking. What other tool did I have? |
