Six Principles for Leaders to Make Management their Competitive AdvantageBetter management is every manager’s primary job. Management is the art, science, and craft to get work done. If that is so, then management touches everyone’s live, everywhere, anytime. But traditional management is in need of repair. The problem is not with managers, it’s with management. In today’s digital economy, management by traditional command & control is slow and ineffective. It produces mediocre result. For example, why would you want to create yet another one-year budget if it is out of date the next day? In a hyper dynamic environment, self-responsible people need better management. |
Better is the yardstick for management with agile, people-centric and dynamic features. As such, it turns management into a competitive advantage – one of the few advantages left in a time where they dissolve faster than ever before. Better Management gets work done, creates value, it is unique and hard to copy, it prevents short-cuts and is deeply rooted in culture. That’s why every manager needs to worry about it.
Better Management offers six principles to make management your competitive advantage. The evidence is paramount: Organizations with better management score 25% higher on the fitness index as compared to organizations with traditional management. Better is within your reach. Simply adopt diagnostic (self-) mentoring, the methodology that creates new ways to better management faster. Why would you guess if you can know?
