Will You Add? - Stress Reduction - Quit Managing People!
Everybody hears about how the medical billing industry is robbing us blind. Medical costs are out of control, or at least so they say. Medical billing software, just to be able to run your medical billing practice, costs an arm and a leg. Medical billing agencies like Medicare and Medicaid, Blue Cross, Blue Shield and even private insurance co

A call today on our Redundancy Hot-Line started us thinking again about the contradictory implications of old legislation on new rulings on Ageism, due to come into force in the UK in October 2006.At the moment the European Equal Treatment Directive, commits the UK Government to introducing legislation outlawing age discrimination in emplo
No indeed! We all use the phrase "manage pople" too lightly but also so frequently that managers believe they do manage people.
What do managers actually manage?
Time
Data
Schedules
Process: such as transport, inventory, quality control, research, reporting, performance reviews
Finance
Pensions, retirement plans
Planning
Research and development
The manager who believes that managers manage people will experience a very large amount of stress. He or she will also trigger stress in the persons being "managed.". Why is this?
The reason is that managing people contradicts reality. Realistically speaking the only person I can manage is myself. Managers need to manage themselves. When they try to manage others the reaction is always the same: each person still decides what to think, how to feel and how to behave. When the orders are agreeable the person will do as told. When the orders are not agreeable the person will become resentful. The reaction will be roughly the same as the reaction we all have when told up is down or first is second or good is bad: a non-compute.
What managers actually do is provide coordination and leadership for the energy, behaviors and work of the people over whom they have authority. Like the manager of a professional sports team, the manager does not play the game. The players play the game. But the manager develops the game plan and coaches the players on how best to achieve the game plan.
To repeat, it is not at all a play on words to declare that managers do not manage people. If you as a manager find yourself stressed and worrying ask yourself whose problems are you taking on as your problems?

One thing that I’ve learned after 35 years in advertising is that no business wants to pay more than they have to for promotional expenses. It’s understandable considering all the various marketing options and the associated costs. A business has so many fixed overhead expenses from insurance to rent to employees that advertising is often left to

As a lad of five years, the first life-changing event I faced was December 7, 1941 when President Franklin Delano Roosevelt announced to the Nation on radio (no TV then) that the Japanese Empire had staged an unprovoked air attack on our naval base Pearl Harbor in the Hawaiian Islands. Many American military lives were lost and our entry into WWI

This style of management is not the same as "benign neglect." There are specific skills that go with this style. Coaching and training can help you quickly acquire these skills or sharpen them if you are not already using them.
First and foremost among these skills is the abililty to accurately assess and communicate responsibility. Exactly how much of this project, job, piece or work or problem is yours? How much belongs to each person? Hoe much belongs to me? I can only take care of the part that belongs to me.
The ability to manage in this fashion is both art and science. It begins, howeverk, with a firm and clear point of view: as a manager I am providing leadership for people to manage themselves.
