Review : Gives great insight on how good/great management is done. Raises awareness how idiosyncrasies of employees matters. As based on the analysis of 1,5 mln. of hours of interviews with 80 k managers it's hardly can be bad right? For those who cannot afford a week or so to bring the book the the knees I will list below some of the ideas I remember or had jotted down. 1. People don’t quit their companies, they quit their bosses; 2. Define the right outcomes and then let each person find his own route toward those outcomes; 3. The most efficient route that nature has found from point A to point B is rarely a straight line. It is always the path of least resistance; 4. All roles demand some accuracy & safety, standardized steps are needed (Baring Bank case); 5. Languages, symbols, conventions, scales-these are the DNA of civilization-without the ability to accept standards we could have never developed such a complex society; 6. The companies that define the new standards will gain huge advantage over latecomers; 7. Customers’ levels of expectations a. Accuracy b. Availability c. Partnership; d. Advice/educate 8. Customer is ultimate judge of value; 9. Use practical ways to see world through your customers eyes; 10. At Disney they think vibrant companies should have 5 year plans but willing to change it every year - that’s tough for the intermediaries like managers; 11. When I draw my playbook I always go from the players to the plays-head coach of Minnesota Vikings; 12. Focus on each persons strengths and manage around his weaknesses. Don’t try to fix the weaknesses… help each person to become more of who he already is; 13. One of the sings of the great manager is the ability to describe in detail the unique talent of each of his people – what drives each one, how each one thinks, how each build relationships; 14. Know the difference between the skills and knowledge and weaknesses; 15. The golden rule is broken by the great managers every day-they don’t treat people the way they would lie to be treated-people don’t breath same psychological oxygen; 16. Time you spent with your best employee (not the weakest) is your most productive time; 17. No news is never good news; 18. From the perspective of great managers averaging is irrelevant to excellence-top performers have more potential for growth; 19. Success is achieved through a never-ending pursuit of improvement-personally, professionally financially and spiritually; 20. Each of us is a couple of talent cards short of a full deck; 21. Partnerships are not archetype, each partnership in fact is anomaly; 22. If you find yourself spending most of your time managing weakness of particular employee, than know that you’ve made a casting error; 23. When employee requires growth-promotion-help each person find roles that ask him to do more and more of what he is naturally wired to do; 24. Most employees are promoted to the level of their incompetence; 25. Great managers envision company where there are multiple routes towards respect and prestige; 26. Broadbanding – for each role you define a pay in broad bands or ranges with the top end of the lower level role overlapping the bottom end of the role above-companies like Merill Lynch & Disney have well endured the practice; 27. During the Gallup’s interviews with great managers they found a consistent willingness to hire employees who the manager knew, might soon earn significantly more than they did; 28. Create heroes in every role; 29. Great managers make sure to have 4 hours a year with an employee to discuss their career path; 30. When using trial periods for employees you must be very clear about the details; 31. What level of performance is unacceptable? Any level that hovers around average with no trend upward; 32. In mind of great managers to care means to set the person up for success; 33. G.M. on “tough love”- each of best men on my two weddings was someone I fired; 34. G.M. : but I know my people some times better then they know themselves; 35. The four keys to great management are: a. Select for talent; b. Define the right outcomes c. Focus on strengths; d. Find the right fit; 36. When casting for talent ask open-ended questions; 37. Past behavior is a good predictor of future behavior. Therefore questions like “tell me about a time when you…” can serve you well; 38. Pitfall is evaluating articulation and memory of interviewed; 39. Rapid learning is an important clue to persons talent. Ask candidate what kind of roles she has been able to learn quickly. Ask her what activities come easily to her now.. 40. Great managers find times for performance management routines-4 common characteristics for it: a. Routine is simple; b. Routine forces frequent interaction between manager and employee; c. Routine is focused on the future d. Makes employee to keep track of his own performance 41. In the world according to great managers the employee is the star. The manager is the agent. 42. When you enter your place of work, you never leave it at zero. You either make it a little better or a little worse. 43. Managers trump companies; 44. Human power lies in its idiosyncrasy; 45. Real profit increase drives stock increase-sustainable growth drives real profit increase-loyal customers drive customer growth-engaged employees drive customer loyalty-the right people in the right roles wit the right managers drive employee engagement; 46. Great managers are not looking for people who are easy to manage; Don't judge me for posting this tonight I'm glory glory guy not forza or vamps :) :UCLfinal:
