如何成为“天才”管理者?
众所周知,一位“天才”管理者在工作中轻松自如并能不断帮助我们,不惧压力且活力十足、灵感倍出。然而我们都知道这样的天才管理者何等之少,而且常人要具备这样的管理才能何等之难。
Krauthammer观察是一个年度研究计划。它的发现使得那些所谓的“天才”管理者的先天管理才能变得可观能仿。
[1] 主要发现
两个热门发现
我们连续三年调查了员工希望从管理者行为中的所学所感,其中有两项每年都高居榜首:
- 1. 95%的员工希望管理者能帮助他们打开眼界。
- 如果员工遇到困难,管理者应该同他们一起分析遇到的问题,帮助员工开启新的大门,共同寻求解决方案。
事实如此吗?显然不是,因为只有52%的管理者会这样做。25%的管理者自己先做分析,然后向员工表明自己的看法并征询其意见。12%的管理者没有事先分析或建议而直接下达命令。有8%只简单要求一个即刻的解决方案。
当前情势下,完成任务的难度是一个普遍问题。若仅有半数员工能得到建设性的帮助,他们解决问题的质量和效率,需要团队合作时内心可能产生的孤立感,那么这些都迫切需要我们做出改变。 -
- 2. 88%的员工认为管理者要敢于承担自己的过失。
- 如果一个管理者犯了错误,那么他应该自觉承担所有责任。
特别是现在看来,这点是不可否认的吗?事实不尽如此。2009年5月的调查结果显示,只有43%的员工认为他们的管理者主动承担自己所犯的错误。有22%的管理者会承认他们的错误但不担负责任。有26%的管理者会淡化他们的错误或为自己开脱。而7%直接把所犯错误嫁祸于人。
承认错误犹如去看牙医。常规检查,及早治疗以避免拔牙之痛和日后修补之麻烦,且花费极其昂贵。相信这个道理在商业活动中也是一样的…
[2] 关于Krauthammer观察
若你熟悉Krauthammer的调查研究或者稍花时间参加其中,你一定知道Krauthammer观察是一个已经持续了3年的年度项目。过去3年中,我们基于数据统计分析的结果,不断进行调整和改进。
每年我们都在朝着目标迈进,这一目标便是为管理者提供一个有见地而且实际的典范,引导其日常管理行为。

范围
Krauthammer观察所研究的是实际的看得见的行为。这些行为正是专业的商业人士能识别、确认和实践的。
我们关注的重点是管理者和员工之间最直接的关系。管理者如何在企业规范的基础上管理自身的行为?如何照顾到员工的情感需求与个人发展?如何确保员工的业绩?
调查涉及到27个方面,每个方面都归结为4个问题,即行为的4个级别。从模范级、运作级、不利级到不合格级。员工需要逐个回答他们期望管理者的行为是什么样子的,以及管理者实际的行为是怎样的。
即便你本身不是管理者,这些内容也能有助于你更好地与管理者进行沟通,表达自己的需求,并提升你与他人的关系。 |

Corporate societal responsibility 2009
Why 50% of employees think their company’s performance is failing…
4 findings from the survey
- Employees are doing it for themselves - and are watching. People are actively engaged in ‘PSR’ or ‘personal societal responsibility’ – at home. Waste separation is most common – (65% practice it). And people are busy in the kitchen. 73% buy food because it is in season, 53% because locally sourced. However, only 13% deliberately choose non-meat. Still, 33% do select ‘fair trade’ or organic options. Only 18% choose environmentally-friendly transport or use green electricity. 35% make formal donations to NGO’s, however. And PSR practitioners are particularly critical of CSR.
- A glass half empty and half full. Corporate performance is divided. Around 50% are operational or exemplary. The other 50% are not. Companies are most exemplary in the Human Resources area of People, (employment, recruitment and retention) - 39%. Only 21% are so when it comes to the Planet, however. And only 23%, when it comes to Profit.
- Hungry for more. In all areas – People, Planet and Profit – there are serious gaps between the practice employees seek and experience. Less-experienced employees (younger?) are the most dissatisfied. Company size, or international status, has little effect on satisfaction levels.
- What I really want... Excellence is most demanded in the People dimension. Specifically “training” (96% expect it systematically, with external trainers), and “fair labour agreements”, (79% want a “broad collective labour agreement giving space for individual solutions”). The next most-wanted practices concern the Planet: 60% of people want their company to practice the belief that “the economy and ecology are one, taking responsibility”, and Profit: 59% want it to practice the credo that “long-term competive advantage depends on the efficient use of resources”. The latter three practices – labour agreements, an integrated economy/ecology and the efficient use of resources, also display the biggest gaps per dimension...
