When a solution gets in the way of business results
"Every business today needs extraordinary results with ordinary people to prosper and survive." Bob Nelson.
Management by results is an administrative term that refers to the emphasis placed by managers to achieve business results. It is frequently part of the jargon used in Senior Management or Senior Management.
Specifically, Managing for Results means creating effective actions that produce the expected results, including the tools used to achieve them. Therefore, there may also be actions that do not produce those results.
In other words, you can have a manager sitting in the office preparing lengthy reports or following up on figures on time, spending 60% to 80% of your time, but being unable to move to the firing line to do something. and modify them in favor of the company.
Time after time companies are besieged by various management tools or solutions that when misapplied do not provide the results expected by the companies themselves. Whether they are called dashboards or the simple APO or whatever you want to call them, when they are poorly conceptualized the solutions will also be misapplied.
When you think about incorporating management solutions in your company keep in mind:
- Management solutions by themselves do not manage the courage, loyalty, determination or commitment of your people to achieve results. There is no software or set of indicators that can replace a leader who is respected and respected, capable of prevail to get your people to follow you convinced to achieve results.
Senior Management must be aware of not allowing the solution to manage results to be an obstacle to them, and above all, recognizing that until now there is no software or technique that replaces the intelligence or courage of a leader to achieve results for who is hired.
