The Zombie Function - Micromanaging
Dienstag, November 28th, 2006Im gleichen Blog wie eben erwähnt findet sich diese wunderbare Illustration - The Zombie Function - über Micromanaging. Dort findet sich auch ein Selbsttest, dessen Fragen ich hier weitergebe:
- Do you pride yourself on being “on top of” the projects or your direct reports? Do you have a solid grasp of the details of every project?
- Do you believe that you could perform most of the tasks of your direct reports, and potentially do a better job?
- Do you pride yourself on frequent communication with your employees? Does that communication include asking them for detailed status reports and updates?
- Do you believe that being a manager means that you have more knowledge and skills than your employees, and thus are better equipped to make decisions?
- Do you believe that you care about things (quality, deadlines, etc.) more than your employees?
Wer mindestens einmal mit “ja” antwortet, sei, so die Autorin, bereits in Gefahr, ein Micromanager zu werden.
(Ich übernehme keinerlei Garantie dafür, dass die Funktion mathematisch richtig ist… BB)
