Actual for You - Micromanagement and Delegation
Six Sigma – Not Just for ManufacturingAlthough the Six Sigma methodology originally started out as a way to improve processes and products in a manufacturing environment, today it has grown to encompass a broad range of industries. As companies begin to realize the benefits a total quality improvement cycle can have upon the organization they are adopting Six Sigma and its practices into their own fold.Organizations not only receive the quality benefit of Six Sigma in their products and processes, but also significant cash savings can be realized as part of adapting such a process. In one example, GE realized a savings of close to $300 million dollars in the first year of implementation of Six Sigma.Health care organizations can see benefits that not only affect the bottom line of the company, but also affect the quality of care and overall recovery rate for patients. In one example a hospital used Six Sigma practices to significantly reduce the amount of time it took to get heart attack patients from ER to the cardiac care unit by close to 41 minutes.As a result various hurdles that new managers and leaders face. We agreed that this lack of training never seemed to lower the expectations of the manager, just the performance.
Then we disagreed, strongly. What caused the disagreement? Is Life Too Short To Deal With Unpleasant Customers? One of best clients I ever had was a senior vice president at a financial company.He didn’t beat around the bush. If I asked him, how much of a budget do you have for this, he’d tell me, right away, down to the penny.One day, we were talking and he told me, “Gary, life’s too short to deal with unpleasant people.”There are certain lines, such as this one, that you hear that stick with you. Immediately, I wondered if this fellow had been able to chart a course in business that enabled him to navigate around the difficult customers, some of which seemed to have a home in my portfolio.Then, I had a second reaction. Who can afford to be so choosy that he can toss out angry, difficult, or negative personalities? Aren’t they everywhere?Then, it hit me.His company was distinctive, and his clientele was somewhat exclusive. Their profit margins were wide, and there was nothing but smooth sailing on the horizon.They didn’t have to worry much about customers stampeding away, because he was in a seller’s market, wh Micro-Management and Delegation
Recently I had a long discussion with a friend of mine about Managers and managing. She is a former HR Manager for several major companies and was bemoaning the fact that training for managers has been cut back so significantly in recent years and that managers no longer receive the type of help, guidance and assistance that they received just a few short years ago. My background has been in retail and telecom. Hers was neither. Yet the same problems and issues seem to rise in every industry. Of course, this is exactly the reason that I got into coaching. Coaching allows those managers who want to improve a very personalized venue to do just that.
We went on to agree that the common pattern these days seemed to be for the department star performer to be promoted from contributor, to team leader, to manager in seemingly record time. We agreed that new managers have difficulty moving from the contributor to the manager role because no one is willing to spend the time and energy to coach them through the various hurdles that new managers and leaders face. We agreed that this lack of training never seemed to lower the expectations of the manager, just the performance.

When finding any job the first rule is to make looking for a job your JOB!Finding a Job Is Your JobIf you are unemployed then you should put aside at least 6-8 hours of each business day for applying to jobs, making contacts, interviewing, and staying on top of your industry. This strategy will always award you a job in less time. Your goal should be to apply to a minimum of 3 jobs per day. You should manage a list of contacts of everyone you directly or indirectly make contact with.If you already have a job, then you shouldn't be looking for a job. But, if it is imperative that you find a new job, then it will be more difficult to find the adequate time to job hunt, therefore you should put aside the time for your job search as it becomes available.Analyze Your CraftYou should know your craft.

I was trying to cancel my satellite TV subscription about five weeks ago, and something very interesting and foolish happened to me.As I was terminating this relationship by phone, and trying to gently slip away, and gracefully move on to the satellite-less part of my life, I felt a strong boot on my rear-side!The CSR’s wouldn’t let me go without threatening and insulting me.Let me set the scene.Fed up with over 100 channels and nothing good to watch, I figured what the heck, I’m going to just do the cave man thing: Grab raw signals from the air with a tiny antenna, and not pay a nickel for my programs.Like ice fishing, there’s some difficulty in it, but the rewards are great, and the feeling of independence is remarkable!Anyway, I planned to ditch the dish the day after the BCS Championship battle between USC and Texas. I explained my wish to the first CSR who took down all of the information, and then said I’d have to speak to a second rep.Number two interrogated me. Why was I leaving their happy ele various hurdles that new managers and leaders face. We agreed that this lack of training never seemed to lower the expectations of the manager, just the performance.
Then we disagreed, strongly. What caused the disagreement? The
concept was micro-management. My friend explained to me that she has "coached" many employees recently and that many of them complained about one particular manager who was micro-managing them. She told me that she helps the employees understand and come to grips with "their problem". "You're not going to be able to change that manager, she explained to me, "so you've got to change the employees". She explains to them that if they are being micro-managed, there's probably a reason for it. They are probably doing something wrong. If they just identify that problem and improve, their manager will stop the micro-management. "The employees need to improve themselves. It's as simple as that."
I wish my life was as simple as that.
She acknowledges that with that many employees complaining that
it's likely the manager is the problem. But changing the manager is too much trouble, she says, so let's tell the employees it's their fault.
