Managerial Effectiveness
“The only purpose of management is to be effective…”
They’ve all said it: Blanchard, K., Drucker, P., Hersey, P., Peters, T., Reddin, W.,
Theories of management, motivation and leadership abound; naturally enough, most of them focus on getting work (tasks) done through other people. So, when one distils each of these theories down to the fundamentals, there is no escaping the fact that they all, to a greater or lesser extent, have to do with (a) the people doing (b) tasks.
And you can evaluate how effective you are managing the simple interaction of these two dimensions with different people in different situations.
Your management challenge
In today’s organisations we often find people have a leadership role for a given task where they may or may not have a hierarchical control or sanction over others involved in the work. This is particularly true in a project management or matrix management environment or where an individual ‘does work’ for a number of people. Managerial effectiveness is crucial if the organisation is to prosper.
So, what sort of manager are you?
• Can you adapt your style to suite the demands of the job in hand?
• Can you flex to the ability of the person who is doing the job?
• And how effective a manager are you?
