Getting Back to Management Training Basics
A few months ago I wrote about companies and users thinking they need a software system for everything under the sun. I continue to be amazed at how many managers and businesses think they cannot take on certain projects or even perform their jobs to the fullest, without software. What did companies do 30, 40, or 50 years ago? Did we just tell our management we can't do certain things because they are too complex or we don't have the proper tools? That's doubtful. Granted, the business challenges we face today may be more involved than they were years ago, but business is business and the fundamentals require the fundamentals in our employees.
Generally when I hear someone say "we can't do that right now, because we don't have a system", I think to myself, "how is a system going to ensure we are doing the right things in the right fashion?" It won't. What a system will do is help you track data, automate and streamline operations. Understandably, systems will generally provide a more in-depth and comprehensive review of data and the ability to review data under differing scenarios. The interpretation of that data, true management and ensuring things are done correctly is an output of the system. An input is good judgment, experience, education and our overall knowledge. I don't think anything can replace good old fashioned management by involvement, aka. management by walking around. This again does not require a system.
In tough economic times and with increasing pressures on all of us, it is easy to lose sight of the management principles that really work. In such an electronic era, we can quickly get wrapped up in typing versus talking, but most complicated business management matters I know have not been solved without conventional communication. We can be quick to look at our sinking budgets as an obstacle to our professional success, or we can use what has worked for years and use our mental power to solve problems, be creative, be involved and engaged with our teams and organizations.
In both good and bad economic times, nothing can be truer than the adage: "where there's a will there's a way."
