Absolutely love your videos. I’m finding the content invaluable.They’re information rich and easy to understand. I will introduce others to them. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, I really needed to hear this now. I don’t like to do anything by half measures and I’m working on becoming the best manager I can be. I instinctively started displaying the behaviours you mentioned but it was really good to hear the rational reasoning behind it. It takes me to next level. Thank you.
Thank you for your comments. I am delighted you are working on becoming the best manager you can be and I am really glad you found this video helpful. If the content resonated and you keep working on getting better, you have a great career to look forward to. J
Very good information. I’m much better at understanding stories than abstract theories. Production people directly create the product that customers use. Assembly line workers at car factories. Waitresses and cooks at restaurants. Software engineers at software companies. Sloppy work directly hurts the quality of the product that the customer gets. Production people don’t do everything. They don’t order materials, deliver the goods to customers or send out paychecks. These are indirect supporting jobs. The manager’s job is to see that everything the production people need, gets done correctly. All the indirect work. Occasionally executive decisions need to be made involving objectives, strategy, tactics and logistics. Businesses make profits for owners by providing customer value. New products, new customers etc. This is the fun part that almost every employee would love to do. Yes, some people wield a great deal of power. Management isn’t a museum for the brilliant or lazy. It is the necessary task of coordinating people so that they are all rowing at the best possible speed. But executives can’t make it happen alone, their brilliance can be destroyed by the people actually turning the crank to make things happen. Teamwork.
Thanks for your comments and your examples - they are really useful. I will try to incorporate more stories into my videos. I personally find many stories a little frustrating - I want to get to the heart the matter and understand it as quickly as possible. Everyone has different preferences ... playing to as many as sensible is a good thing. Thank you. J
