it takes away from the many skills the people in the company have. You do not give them a chance to shine, to come up with something, or to just find a better way to build a mouse trap. This will free up so much more of your time to do more important things, like schedule the meeting for the staffing changes (sorry, coBusiness management, when will you ever listen? Your business management approach should be so different. I mean, really, they seem to already have their answer to any question or proposition you may present. This really is a reason nature gave us 2 ears and only one mouth: To Listen More. So, hey, boss man, just listen to us and we may be able to achieve for the company what you are responsible for. For starters, do we really need all of these people around here? Have you ever done any sort of time study on their jobs? I did one at a manufacturing plant the other day, and within 1 hour of measurements, saw we could eliminate 3 positions in the plant. This is a savings of $250,000 a year, all in just 1 hour. The employees would just be reassigned to where we are currently staffing persons. How simple was that? But when you take it to management, they want to schedule a meeting with the other managers to get everyone’s opinions. Opinions on what? We are talking about $250,000 a year. Maybe it is because it was not their idea.

How about delegating a few items? We really do not need all of the micromanaging. Just tell us what to do, and we will do it. Don’t worry about how we get from A to B, just as long as we get there on time. When you micro manage, it takes away from the many skills the people in the company have.

Maybe we can actually ask the employees what they think. Ask them if they have any opinions or ideas on ways to better the work environment. They are the ones out there fighting the battles, so they are the experts on this. Yes, you will get the occasional ridiculous idea from the wise guy, but just ignore it. You will get many more positive responses than negative ones. And do not stop there, actually go out there and implement them. Put them in place, and watch the morale of the employees increase. If you do something for them, they will do something for you. Amazing how this actually works. But for it to work, you need to get out and meet the people, and let them know who you are. Getting employees involved gives them the sense of importance, and this weighs heavily with the work force.

So, if management would just listen a bit, they can actually make a huge impact with the employees of the company. And happy employees make an excellent and thriving company. So, maybe you can try a different business management approach.
