I used to be a general manager for a small company, it was my inability to get the guys to do their work and my lack of respect from them that leads to my resignition.
Now that I look back on those days there were so many things I could have done differently to get a different outcome.
Personell Management skills cannot be taught and have to be learned in a practical way. Yes, you can buy those 101 books to learn, but apply them at work is another story.
Looking forward to some sharing of insights from your blog in this category in the future.
am reading andy warhol's "philosophy of andy warhol". it's impressive that he mentioned his business and it's a "kinetic business" -- his people continue to work while he was sent to the hospital for a week. and that's how he contend that, business art is actually the best art.
motivation is a big topic in psychology, and people often do not merely look at the materialized reward (money in other words) that they're getting each and other month. but in mastering the key of getting people going.... is just another story =) and i think if you had been with lame bosses that you'd know the better way to make others work for you.
i teach kids and i also face a similar problem sometimes because some kids get into this cocoon of wondering why they need to get work done. i'm still learning how to make them realize the importance of doing it... and i think most part of this comes from their families. having them engaged and involved is very important and it's an even more effective motivation than materialized rewards (like chocolates).
life is never easy. and i believe the authoritarian style especially out-of-date now because very likely the people you're managing are of my generation -- the y-ers. y-ers are people who dislike yellings, and they need reasons for everything.
but i have met many supervisors of an older generation who in general do not understand our psychology... that they require constant obedience and absolute loyalty, while they wouldn't always let you know any plans they have in mind. if you're handling kids of me age... you really need to befriend them =)
Desertfox and Cheryl: Basically I also have experience regarding dealing with olddies who are your subordinates but have more experience and stayed long in the company. Maybe next time I also share with you how I handle. But fundamentally, communication and explanation are the fact.

你講得好啱,管人真係唔易,特別係管著一d踢二踢先郁一郁既就更煩...
工作咁多年,我的經驗係"lead" people, 唔好"push" people. 叫得做Leader,即係要企係前面帶領他們,千祈唔好做pusher只係後面推他們.
