Question

Mention few suggestions that you would be helpful in overcoming mismanagement?

Answer 1

Management is harder than it seems. Each manager who has already gained a great deal of experience and who has faced the main management crises will agree with this.

In order for a company to be a success, it is necessary to adhere to 2 key conditions:

1. The company needs not one manager, but rather a group of managers who:

• can play all four managerial roles;
• are aware of their strengths and weaknesses;
• accept themselves as they are;
• accept people who differ from them;
• can assess others’ capabilities which they themselves don’t possess;
• can work with people who differ from them.

2. Each member of the management team must:

• meet the requirements connected with his task;
• be able to make decisions on his own;
• complement other team members;
• match the company’s organizational environment.

A good manager should be like this :

1. He can perform all four managerial roles though not equally well.

2. He is aware of his strengths and weaknesses.

3. He liaises with the people around him.

4. He has a balanced vision of himself.

5. He accepts his strengths and weaknesses.

6. He can assess and admit the excellent work of others even if performing the roles that he’s not very good at.

7. He accepts others’ opinion on the issues where it can be more profound than his own.

8. He can resolve conflicts, which inevitably arise when people with different needs and styles are in one management team.

9. He creates an environment that fosters learning.
