An effective manager

Managers, must be fruitful. The fruitful is can learn!

The father of modern management Peter Drucker begins by pointing out the basis of the book, based on the above view of how to be effective.

What is effective? At the same time, let us learn to "do the right Thing" and "do things right" ability.

The work of a physical worker can usually be measured in terms of quantity and quality, which is often referred to as "doing the right thing," but the work of a mental worker (knowledge worker) needs to be measured by "effectiveness", that is, "to do things right."

The definition of "manager" in this book is broad-based: In an organization, if a person needs to rely on his thoughts, knowledge, ideas, ideas or wisdom to contribute to and materially influence the organization, he is a manager.

Self-management: A lot of management books are about "How to manage Others", and this book is about "How to manage Yourself", so that you become the effective Executive.

First, to master their own time

Record and analyze the usage of the time.

1, recording and diagnostic time: Record time usage, find things such as do or not do not have an impact, analysis such as meaningless or waste of time things, etc.

2, allocation and management time: the courage to low-efficiency time and waste time to say no, good at handling the things can be entrusted; arrange time, fragment time to handle trivial information, the whole block of time for important things!

More about the time of thinking, can refer to Li Huilai Teacher's book, "Time as a friend", I believe there will be a harvest.

Second, what can I contribute

Focus your attention on your contribution.

Target Management (MBO) is a modern management method which aims at the goal, takes the people as the center, results as the standard, and makes the organization and individual achieve the best performance.

Many people desperately work to make themselves busy, completely stop the rhythm, in the eyes of others also very diligent, and for the organization, but may not really have results.

The contribution that is available makes sense, and the key is how much it can contribute. Your contribution determines your value.

Third, how to play the strengths of people

Give full play to people's strengths.

Here are the strengths of 4 kinds: Their own director, the same level of director, boss, subordinate director.

The play here is, from another point of view, more inclined to be a complementary borrowing (you can, of course, use it).

No one is perfect, gold no can't pure, a hand five fingers and the length of the high and low. Those who only want to avoid the shortcomings will not make mistakes, but will be mediocre. What we need is a more advanced step, that is to fully exert the strengths of others, to compensate for their shortcomings or deficiencies, through such means, the personal goals and organizational goals are linked together to achieve a common win, which is effective play.

Iv. Priority of Events

The priorities of the matter.

A person's energy is always limited, but things always do not finish. How to be effective, a map cover thousands of words, directly on the work of the four-quadrant law.

(This picture borrowed from a park friend, a moment did not find the source, hope to tell it)

V. Effective decision-making

The elements and effectiveness of decision-making.

The basic work of managers is "decision-making". In reality, managers do not need and are not likely to do everything according to the process of processing things. Most of the time, it is not a choice between right and wrong, in and out, but an option that is optimal in the current situation. None of the programmes could be superior to others in every place. Do not focus only on the small, to pay attention to the collection of relevant facts, good at using different or even opposing opinions, have their own ideas, so as to make effective decisions.

Of course, the hardest part is personal advice and advice, which stems from the constant practice, learning and cultivation of work and life.

Five elements of decision-making:

1. Identify the nature of the problem

2. Understanding the boundary conditions of the problem

3. Think about the right solution

4. Implementation measures

5. Pay attention to feedback
