Book excerpt: Management in business and organizations is the function that coordinates the efforts of people to accomplish goals and objectives using available resources efficiently and effectively. Management comprises planning, organizing, staffing, leading or directing, and controlling an organization to accomplish the goal. Management involves identifying the mission, objective, procedures, rules and the manipulation of the human capital of an enterprise to contribute to the success of the enterprise. This implies effective communication: an enterprise environment (as opposed to a physical or mechanical mechanism), implies human motivation and implies some sort of successful progress or system outcome.

Download or read book Six Simple Rules written by Yves Morieux and published by Harvard Business Review Press. This book was released on 2014-03-11 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New tools for managing complexity Does your organization manage complexity by making things more complicated? If so, you are not alone. According to The Boston Consulting Group’s fascinating Complexity Index, business complexity has increased sixfold during the past sixty years. And, all the while, organizational complicatedness—that is, the number of structures, processes, committees, decision-making forums, and systems—has increased by a whopping factor of thirty-five. In their attempt to respond to the increasingly complex performance requirements they face, company leaders have created an organizational labyrinth that makes it more and more difficult to improve productivity and to pursue innovation. It also disengages and demotivates the workforce. Clearly it’s time for leaders to stop trying to manage complexity with their traditional tools and instead better leverage employees' intelligence. This book shows you how and explains the implications for designing and leading organizations. The way to manage complexity, the authors argue, is neither with the hard solutions of another era nor with the soft solutions—such as team building and feel-good “people initiatives”—that often follow in their wake. Based on social sciences (notably economics, game theory, and organizational sociology) and The Boston Consulting Group’s work with more than five hundred companies in more than forty countries and in various industries, authors Yves Morieux and Peter Tollman recommend six simple rules to manage complexity without getting complicated. Showing why the rules work and how to put them into practice, Morieux and Tollman give managers a much-needed tool to reinvigorate people in the face of seemingly endless complexity. Included are detailed examples from companies that have achieved a multiplicative effect on performance by using them. It’s time to manage complexity better. Employ these six simple rules to foster autonomy and cooperation and to effectively handle business complexity. As a result, you will improve productivity, innovate more, reengage your workforce, and seize opportunities to create competitive advantage.
Download or read book Quicklet On Richard Templar s Rules of Management written by Jason Warner and published by Hyperink Inc. This book was released on 2012-02-08 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABOUT THE BOOK When I was a young man trying to make my mark in the software business, I was exposed to many different types of leadership personalities. This experience shaped my understanding of management, as it would any wide-eyed college graduate. I tried to emulate the people in positions of power, watched the people in various positions of authority, and started to build my mental framework for what it meant to manage by what they did. After all, they say the quickest way to success is to find out what successful people do and put what you learn into action. The problem? It was a mirage. Just because managers were in charge didn’t mean they were going to be successful. After watching for a bit I started to realize that all bad managers had one thing in common: "going down in flames." It might have taken some time, but eventually they all stalled and failed. Maybe they lost their team, maybe they made false promises one too many times, or maybe their irritating attitudes finally caught up with them. Eventually, people figured them out and jettisoned them as dead weight. I got lucky. When I was put in charge of a small software development team at the ripe old age of 22, a friend gave me Richard Templar’s The Rules of Management as a "good luck" gift. That night I read it cover-to-cover – twice. With no exaggeration, there was more wisdom in those pages than anything I had experienced, seen, or read up to that point on management. There was no secret wisdom, no hidden management guru framework, no convoluted advice. Instead, Templar applied common sense to the concept of management.

Though and American, Jason currently lives in Adelaide, South Australia with his wife and two young children. They plan to move back to the United States in the second half of 2012. EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK Templar's Rules series of books has sold over 1 million copies world wide, influenced numerous other book lines, and generally helped people live better everyday lives. Reading The Rules of Management has become a bit of a rite of passage for new managers. There are very few books universally applicable to management in different industries, but The Rules of Management bridges these divides and can be used by anyone in any management position. The Rules of Management has become a cult hit among first-time and emerging managers and leaders. It is often referenced in blog posts, on lists of “must read management books,” and cited as an influential read by many new managers. The book is not just for new managers, though. Seasoned managers have much to gain from it as well. It can serve as reinforcement of good practices and help identify and name bad practices. Good leaders are constantly striving for improvement and looking for ways to change and make gains. The Rules to Management can help in both regards, whether this is your first team or your tenth startup company. Buy a copy to keep reading!
