Do you want to manage your organization properly to help the management earn respect of the labor? Well, don’t expect success if you are going to stick to the tried and tested rule at all times. Management is the art of managing crises and contingencies that occur on a daily basis in organizations.
Experts have assessed contingencies and events that occur in different organizations at different stages over the past hundred years and have collected the information. This information often forms the basis of theoretical management rules and regulations. For example, recent experiments have helped the management realize that providing workers a say in the management of the organization improves productivity.
However, a worker who is facing problem at home and is also a member of the workers association or group interacting with the management may end up ignoring work because of other distractions. In such a scenario, one cannot go back to the books and complain that they don’t work.
They work under specific conditions and provide specific results. The onus is on you to understand and determine whether specific rules are applicable to you or not. Following a textbook approach at all times is only going to leave your frustrated and irritated. On the other hand, trying to come out with rules on your own every time you face a crisis does not make sense either.
Formal education and knowledge will be very helpful in this regard. However, don’t let your learning interfere with your creativity and innovative approach. You will need it to tackle those problems that have not been covered in the past or that have been misinterpreted in the past.
