M Anagement Responsibilities

Good management is practiced in many forms and in a great diversity of business situations. There are basic principles of how to manage, but they would be applied differently in different situations. In an effective organization led by good managers, there is a clear set of strategic objectives I consider skill essential in an effective management such as: communication, motivation, teamwork and goals.

There are many more concepts I have learned about management but I will focus on what areas I believe can relate to my needs in my organization. It is worthy to note that a successful organization have managers who have a great deal of flexibility in establishing a workable leadership style. Successful managers, in addition, realize that times, tasks, and circumstances change on a daily basis.

Nothing could be easier than failing to communicate. For many years, managers think they can belittle their employees with the Ñ-Iâ„-m the boss, get to workІ attitude. It is different today in most places and more people are beginning to understand how important good communication really is. Communicating well is something every one of us does everyday in our lives. However, effective communication seems to be rare in adults. There are some basic concepts that can be implemented to have a successful communication. They are making communication a top priority, being open to other people, and creating a receptive environment for communication.

First, Iâ„-ve learned that I must make time to communicate with my subordinates no matter how busy you might find yourself during the work day. Second, if you can show your colleagues that you are receptive to their ideas, they are more likely to be receptive to you and keep you honestly informed about the things I need to know. Iâ„-ve learned that a good organization has people caring about the future of the organization and that top managements care as much about their people. Finally, itâ„-s a basic fact that people wont say what they think and wonâ„-t listen receptively to what you say unless a foundation of trust and shared interest has been laid.

In an effective management environment, people shouldnâ„-t be punished for being open; especially in situation when they took the risk to tell you what they think. For example, if I am in a position when someone disagrees with my plan and tried to make a suggestion, Iâ„-d be very delicate about the way I tell them I don't agree with them. However, Iâ„-d encourage them to come back to me the next time and make another suggestion.

I see an importance in having a skill to motivate people. In an effective management environment, leaders should show the employees that he will take risks and encourages them to do the same. In the past modules, Iâ„-ve learned that using fear is a poor motivator. Companies that are run on that basis will end up with a work force of resentful employees. An ideal environment would be a place where someone feels a real sense of purpose, the feeling that they are valuable. This is where I believe a true motivation comes from, not just to work but to excel. To do this, I believe people need to be recognized, be included, be encouraged, and be involved. Glory should be shared with everyone in an organization and a clear understanding how value individuals are. Iâ„-d like to see employees be given the freedom to work as they see fit, and convey their belief in their abilities by getting out of the way. In other words, an effective leader in an organization should show people that he or she trusts, respect, and care about his people. As a result, he will be surrounded by motivated people.

Another way to motivate people is to express genuine interest in others. Iâ„-ve learned that managers shouldnâ„-t
