Problems of modern management and how to overcome them
Management
is the organizational process that includes strategic planning, setting;
objectives, managing resources, deploying the human and financial assets needed
to achieve objectives, and measuring results. Management also includes
recording and storing facts and information for later use or for others within
the organization.
A Manager is the
person responsible for planning and directing the work of a group of
individuals, monitoring their work, and taking corrective action when
necessary. For many people, this is their first step into a management career.
Managers may
direct workers directly or they may direct several supervisors who direct the workers. The manager must
be familiar with the work of all the groups he/she supervises, but does not
need to be the best in any or all of the areas. It is more important for the
manager to know how to manage the workers than to know how to do their work
well.
A manager may
have the power to hire or fire employees or to promote them. In larger
companies, a manager may only recommends such action to the next level of
management. The manager has the authority to change the work assignments of
team members.
Planning
Planning involves deciding
where to take a company and selecting steps to get there. It first requires
managers to be aware of challenges facing their businesses, and it then it
requires managers to forecast future business and economic conditions. They
then formulate objectives to reach by certain deadlines and decide on steps to
reach them. They re-evaluate their plans as conditions change and make
adjustments as necessary. Planning helps allocate resources and reduce waste as
well.
Organizing
Managers organize by bringing
together physical, human and financial resources to achieve objectives. They
identify activities to be accomplished, classify activities, assign activities
to groups or individuals, create responsibility and delegate authority. They
then coordinate the relationships of responsibility and authority.
Leading
Leading requires managers to
motivate employees to achieve business objectives and goals. It requires the
use of authority to achieve those ends as well as the ability to communicate
effectively. Effective leaders are students of human personalities, motivation
and communication. They can influence their personnel to view situations from
their perspectives. Leading also involves supervision of employees and their
work.
Controlling
Controlling is a function of
management that involves measuring achievement against established objectives
and goals. It also requires managers to be able to identify sources of
deviation from successful accomplishment and to provide a corrective course of
action. Managers first establish objectives and goals, then measure achievement
of them, identify anything that is keeping the company from achieving them, and
provide means of correction if necessary. Controlling does not necessarily
involve achieving only monetary goals and objectives. It can also relate to
nontangible goals and objectives like meeting a production quota or reducing
customer complaints by a certain amount.[1]
Each function
has her own disadvantages and problems that affect the efficient operation of organizations and personnel
of these companies.
Time is the main
factor that every company need. Modern workers often finish their duties at the
last time or not do them at all based on the fact that they were not informed
about problem. Also, it can be seen well in the work of students. In most cases
they do not make it in and leaving everything to the last day. In this case,
you need to pay attention to the time management.
Time management refers to the
way that you organize and plan how long you spend on specific activities.
It may seem counter-intuitive
to dedicate precious time to learning about time management, instead of using
it to get on with your work, but the benefits are enormous :
·
Greater
productivity and efficiency.
·
A better
professional reputation.
·
Less stress.
·
Increased
opportunities for advancement.
·
Greater
opportunities to achieve important life and career goals.
Main problem of time management are time-eaters. Time
eaters are factors that are
ineffective, but deducted from your work and normal life.
Most of them are social network, Internet, computer games, television,
communication by phone, bad habits such as smoking and drinking alcohol. Many
workers spend a lot on it. Modern companies, businesses and organizations
motivate their employees to wages, bonuses, etc.[2]
Google has extraordinary conditions. Each floor and room has differ design and furnitures. All the company made with comfort for easy operation staff.
Currently Google is the largest corporation in the world of Internet. All young professionals want to work at Google. All employees from Google autonomy. They can come any time, and so completely disappear in an unknown direction. They can arrange a little vacation at any time. But they also do not forget about a job. While in all cases Google continually held meetings. Founders of Google, Larry and Sergey are convinced that we should not all and always carry Meeting, otherwise there will be no time for real work.If you take all this as an example we can say that modern workers need freedom when performing work.[3]
