"You can not treat a patient if he doesn 't know who is sick." – Bryce' s LawINTRODUCTIONEpitaph: "Here lies the body of 'Administration,' About the same time has moved mountains but was made to settings bygovernment death customary social, political office and general apathy. RIP "I have a good friend who has recently been raised to the status of" Systems Manager "to a large Fortune 500 company in the U.S. Midwest. While someone who is in the field of information systems for over 30 years now, my interest piqued and I askedher how big of a staff was going to direct and what kind of systems that she wasgoing to be responsible for the administration. I said that has not been particularly personal and herresponsibilities have understood go to the places and for helping install computers with the theirlaptop packages Office and relevant software of the Internet. This is certainly not how I came to understand the concept of a "Systems" person or, for that matter, a "Manager." What he described was more of a role as secretariat of technicalor at odds with one of ' administration. But I guess that times are changing. I have always observed the "management" as a function idealized to facilitate its use by the user, not a mechanicalfunction (which is why "man" is used as a component of the word). The call as, "gettingpeople to do what you want, when you want and how you want it." But since beginning here myself to the perhapsI as increasingly "managers" are the withfewer comparente and few people concerned. Although the title is flourishing, the administration of contendtrue I is becoming a thing of past.WHY is that SPARISCE ADMINISTRATION? First, we have to understand that those responsible are in trade in conqueringobjectives and solution of problems in the workplace through the people. If you live in a perfectworld where everyone has known that what they were suppose to do and when they were supposeto do it closely, we would not be a requirement of those responsible. Inevitably, this happens rarely aspeople are social animals and rarely agrees on anything, especially on how to date performa. Then, a controller is necessary to determine the meaning and the arbitrator. As such, those responsible are the General Field for their departments. There are three basic attributes of a responsible: Directorate, Environment and Results.Let 's only considers each and how they evolved: DIRECTORATE to properly coordinate human resources, an effective manager should always be the point of leastone in front of his staff. This requires the visionaries who inspire confidence in their troopsand can adjust marching in the right direction. The problem however is that little, if appropriate, planning is carrying out in corporate America. Instead, we are satisfied with the response tocalamities contrary to examine the future and try to anticipate problems. Small dell'asa example, we are now involved in a storm over the disasterin New Orleans hurricane Katrina. The engineers have long known that the banks used to keep the sea from the city were inadequate for lle categories four or five hurricane (Katrina was a categoryfour). In fact, I saw a documentary on the same week of this object just before the disaster. Now, local, wehave, condition and federal government agencies scorrenti fast to correct the problems (which anddoing much finger indicating in the process). Expensive as it would have been to repair the thelevees, it would have been a spit in the bucket when compared to the costs to clean the theaftermath. In the corporate world, Detroit is annaspando the types of cars hours beingimported in this country. The Asia stole Detroit 's thunder which now finds reasons itselfoffering cash to detach from stem the tide. It has developed secret America's dependence anever-increasing foreign oil and is now sellato with infrastructure oilrefinery ageing and shaky economy. So why Detroit was surprised to see the theirmarket share to take a nose-dive for cars economic fuel consumption quality from overseas? The point is, our design and management skills are all over the low level of time. Why? Becauseit is easier to react to a problem that make a small design; easier, but more expensive. Let 's the faceit, designing is hard work and, as the old maximum goes, "You can now pay them or you can later payme, but are going to pay me." The design is a projection in certain level of involvesa and unknown risk that most people are not willing to admit (and is afraid to do so). Consequently, our society is more interested in safety nets that nell'assumersi responsibilities. Guess that is why I admire players who mentally calculate their chances for success and are risks oftaking unafraid. Nevertheless, the competitors Americans (and our enemies) fully understand our asplanners of weakness and are not afraid to take on the responsibilities that we hesitate before. Consequently, continueto take advantage of them until we get a certain direction serious. THE ENVIRONMENT for workers to adjust to incaricarla is necessary so that a controller determines the environment asuitable of work. This includes: defining the position of employment, hours of operation and corporatepolicies be observed (for example, payroll, benefits, performance reviews, etc.).. Setting out the methodology, tools and techniques to be used by workersin their assignments. By defining the corporate culture – although this is normally defined by the coat, the controller provides astute ethics, habits and social demands to be observedwithin its area of responsibility (a subculture). In so doing, the controller has defined the thecode of conduct in denotation departmental what will be tolerated and what not. As part of corporate culture, the head defines its own ofmanagement personal style, for example: The types and the level of discipline, organization and accountabilityexpected from manual. Proof of responsible micromanage everything (from top to bottom) or authorize its people, the responsibility of the delegate and direct the "bottom-up"? How employees are valued and rewarded, the experience or the manovramento bypolitical. The managers' s the goal is to generate a homogeneous wherebyeveryone the workplace is "rowing on the same oar" towards the common objectives. Unfortunately, the theproblem here is that our society is now inclined to accept individualismas robust opposite aa team effort. For example, employees are commonly based initiative onindividual rewarding contradicts effort group. Among this spirit regulations of the Government of individualismand that encourage employees to resist to the company, the andteamwork of loyalty is to decrease the historical and apathy and restlessness pervades the corporateAmerica. This spirit interrupts the harmony of labour, so the problems of compoundingthe manager. RESULTS Finally, the controller is charged with responsibility for production of the product that orperforming a service. As such, the controller must establish and prioritizeassignments and assures them is made in a effectivemanner cost and present. This requires leaders who can articulate assignments and coordinateresources towards this end. Sounds simple enough, right? So why are we failingin this? Three reasons: Those responsible are more interested in gamesmanship that really producinganything its substance. They developed a "track" Fast and the wherebymanagers attitudes have little interest in their current job and want to advance to the plateau of thenext in their career. "Long-term" design is no longer measured during the years but in months or weeks (a "long-term" the project is now considered three months of tosix in length). Consequently, those responsible are mainly interested in solutions of dirty quickand that vederanno with their possession of the office, but the office later willcreate for their successors. The managers spend more hours timescheming and manovramento that caring to get the job done. What 'sign of thesure s of such a responsible? He knows the last words to fashion and is always "politically correct." Those responsible are not more results-oriented, instead, more are put in focus on the process or the mechanisms to get a job done. Although it is desirable to bewell organized and makes paricolare in our effort of work, is meaningless if you cannotdeliver what you're loaded produce. The controller must be focusedon services, non-mechanical (with apologies to the people ISO 9000). Those responsible will no longer deem the people responsible for their actions. This is due in part to government regulations that are more concerned about the rights of theemployees contrary to the managers' s. Consequently, managers spend less timemanaging and more people surveillance of time. Capisca this: there are substantialdifferences between the administration and control, the two are the most definitively notsynonymous. The control is much more "pass on" with employees continuallywatched and direct in their allocations of work. Those responsible should direct more andsupervise less and employees should do more self-control. Unfortunately, thisphilosophy is not currently in fashion. The workers no longer seek the responsibility and preferto be said is what to do and then can not be held liable if something goesawry. That just says a lot about our society and it is disturbing to me. Never forget, unless you can carry what you carry loaded, you are a failure as responsible. Consider the numerous cars and responsible in the world of sports that were infornati over the years, not necessarily the becausethey didn 't run programs purposes, but because they have lost sight of the final result: I have winning.CONCLUSIONWhat described so far are mainly large corporations. Managementis still alive and well in small businesses that are not hampered with the bureaucracyand need to be able simply to survive a. In addition I am particularly describing the corporateAmerica, but many of these habits are defective insinuando-style administration of Asianand European companies as well. Now and then, gradico make an analogy between managem
