Manager Manage Thyself (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

The purpose of this book is to take the seemingly complex subject of management and make it practicable i.e. able to be put into practice successfully. It approaches management from a different point of view - one that defines management as a career each individual practices whose success is measured by the organizational capability they create in their wake. It is designed to give the practicing manager an understanding of the management tenets of the past, a glimpse into their organization through the lens of its organization's life cycle, and the predictable stages of one's management career. It is a view that emanates from: . the work one manages where the technical, financial, social, and customer furtherance domains constantly compete for their attention . the simple, complicated, complex or chaotic nature of their issue . the performance they seek, the results they measure, and the decisions they make - by themselves, with or without input from others, by using time-bound consensus practices or by delegating authority to others. Someone once said, 'There are no perfect solutions, only intelligent choices." Informed practice makes for intelligent choices that lead to organizational capability, sustainability, and a rewarding career - the purpose of this book.

Autor

After earning a bachelor's degree in Economics and Sociology from St. Francis University Patrick Olliffe went to work to find what contributions he could make in the world of work. Attendance at the U.S. Army's Instructor Training Program in Ft. Knox Ky. would give him a focus and direction that would last throughout his career. Field Manuals his captain told him would give him the subject knowledge he needed; understanding would come from interviewing the practicing experts about the situational conditions they faced. Respect for his attendees was drilled into him. Consulting experience in multiple industries across the United States and into Canada with APC Skills and The Institute of Management Resources would give breath and depth to his work as he continued to work to connect operations and training into an seamless change initiative. It would be at USAirway's Maintenance Division as Director of Administration where he would develop a cost-effective, work-centric approach to developing managers. It began with identifying areas of excessive costs, investigating the practices that were perpetuating them, and in conjunction with senior leadership find ways to control them while growing management competencies and building organizational capability. At R.Davenport and Associates Patrick would again build on what they had to expand their client outplacement services while building management competencies and organizational capability. His inquisitiveness, study, and blended work experiences continue to inspire him to advance the value of organizational capability in organizations and career management in individual managers.
