Management Must Be Learned
Part 1
by Susan Dunn

Page: 1 2 3

Management must be learned. It doesn't follow from knowledge of your field or technical skills. It isn't more of the same, it's radically different.

People who move into management have no idea what it entails, or they probably wouldn't take it. Accustomed to relying on their own skills as proof of the pudding, they're suddenly responsible for something over which they have no control -- how others do their jobs. Instead of your career riding on how well you do your job, your career is suddenly riding on how well other people do their jobs.

It's a false conception that management can be learned on-the-job, unless you want expensive failures involving the most important asset to your business, your people.

Intelligent managers, those with EQ as well as IQ, can and will learn-on-the job, but it takes time, and they'll learn by making damaging mistakes you can't afford that could have been prevented by education.

Being an effective manager is one of the hardest jobs there is. When I read articles about managers, I want to say, "You ought to try it!" I'm reminded of the minister I watched flub up part of the service who then turned to the congregation and said, "This is harder than it looks."

Sitting on the outside and taking pot shots is easy. We all have the wisdom of the retrospectroscope. Doing the job takes a massive set of skills that do not follow from expertise in your former field.

What works?

Emotional Intelligence. Managing is one of the most "emotional" jobs there is. From Excuse of the Month Club, to I Don't Know How, to How Come I Do All the Work and She Gets the Promotion, to I'll Say 'Yes' but I Mean 'No', to Turn Your Back and I'll Bully So-and-So, you are dealing with emotions -- yours, theirs and mine. Understanding the emotions of yourself and others and being able to manage them is what management is all about.

I'm thinking of an incident I observed the other day. The boss came in Monday morning chewing nails. Long story, but involved girl friend problems for this newly divorced, emotionally floundering, narcissistically wounded individual.

He proceeded to chew on the staff over everything that crossed his path. For an hour or two, the manager went around smoothing feathers, but then he fell prey to the random acts of destruction himself.

Four hours down the line, a head on a plate was demanded, and the lowest man on the totem pole was ordered fired. The s*** had run downhill, with no one to stop the course, and everyone scrambling for a position. Could the manager have saved the day? If so, it would've taken a lot more skill than he had.
