- Second Chapter
- Talk About "The dynamics of management practice"
- Features of management practice
- The brevity and variety
of its activities
- Significant activities seem to be
interleaved with the mundane without
any particular order; therefore, the
manager must be prepared to change
mental disposition quickly and frequently.
- The action
orientation
- To some extent, managers tolerate
interruptions because they do not
want to discourage the flow of
current information.
- Fragmentation and
discontinuity of work
- The manager's job includes a perpetual
concern: the manager can never be free to
forget work, never have the pleasure of
knowing, even temporarily, that there is
nothing pending done.
- Management is between 60% and 90% oral.
- The manager does not leave the
phone, meeting or mail to return
to work. These contacts are the
work
- Management practice has much to do with
the lateral relationships between colleagues
and with hierarchical relationships.
- Effective managers do not seem to be
those who enjoy greater freedom but
those who use their favor any degree of
freedom they can find.
- Production manager has to be
measured largely in relation to
the information transmitted by
oral form or by email.
- We could characterize the position of the
manager as neck of an hourglass, located
between a network of external contacts
and internal unit where he is.
- The manager receives all kinds of
information and requests -procedente
people inside and outside- to giving them a
look, assimilates and transmits them to
others, again equally inside and outside the
unit.
