Every golfer has ever heard the saying, "Drive for show. Putt for dough." know that the game is won or lost less than 100 feet from the hole, while ignoring the basic chip, putting shots sand - rather than opting for units of glamor. Go to a driving range and see what each club. If there is a chipping area, were invited to go, no! The same is true for managers. They ignore the fact that does not mean that things such as vision and strategy in the absence of his HockeFundamentals. E 'strategy difficult, for example, if a project is not completed in time for implementation.
Most golfers want to practice. You want to play. It is a matter of time. Log in long hours on the golf course. Her husband has been confirmed! Unfortunately, the time spent on what it takes. Of course, some subscribe to the cover of Golf Digest or press from time to time, but are not ready to learn in time to master a new skill to be bound. Therefore, remainthe same mistakes. You should also avoid certain associations to safeguard the ability not to grow. It ends with the wrong tool for the job. Sometimes it can happen. Often hinder their chances of success.
The same applies to the administration. Organisations, in particular veterans, did not want to worry about training. Surely you do not want to practice honing their craft. Many put in tons of overtime, but you can fly with the wind,what they do from day to day. They left the time to work on improving. A small percentage also read all the books on time management, but few act on the lessons. They have their "best" methods they use, regardless of the circumstances, with much less success. To maximize performance, a manager must continue to learn and develop your tools.
Have you ever been walking through the decorated golferlatest in golf apparel designer? Any dynamic club and golf bag, which features as thin as a small apartment. They seem a lot more about how they affected the game, and it shows in the final - "Forgotten Hits" with the Mulligans, hands and corners Many managers are no different They dress the part. and we are proud of the latest gadgets - PDA, best, laptop computers smaller and more powerful (fasterE-mail read!), Office furniture, soft toys, etc. You can not deny that attention to planning a good image and some tools may be useful, but the fact is that no replace the basics. If a manager and his team can not unfounded or Armani suits, luxury means to compensate. part that makes it worse. Witness the popular Dilbert comic strip.
Golf, like most sports is a game of confidence. If you do notYou are doomed to failure. If you think you have the ball, yes. If you are a case of cramps, while others feel. In addition, team members may feel a lack of confidence in their manager. To conduct a successful manager must build trust. Just winning and losing, it is. It comes from learning and achieving new skills. If you are working to improve learning from their mistakes, and when the team has achieved success, you feel good about yourself. You, Do not need to know or do everything. You know how to face and make difficult decisions. You learn to gravitate toward the unpleasant tasks and complete for the good of the team and organization.
OK, there are many similarities between golf and management - in fact, much more than those described here. What is the difference? Some of them.
In the game of golf there is a Titanic metric is inevitable - the score. This is aImpartial, cut and dry way to evaluate the performance of a hand played. In addition, the average number of shots from a series of towers (called disabilities), in collaboration with the difficulties, of course, also determines the skill level of golfer.
Metrics vary widely in their managers, both in number and in their ability to accurately measure performance. Surprisingly, some managers are no figures at all. The effort is entirely arbitrary, and I love it! Of course,metric data can lie and lie can understand, and administrators to do their part - sandbags and manipulation of numbers in their favor. Similarly, the players can cheat and cheat! Whenever a player starts his guests said it was not the last hole, great! Some players and managers feel compelled to try to convince others (and sometimes even seem to be convinced) that are better than they really are. Administrators must leave the ego at home, you can create accurateMetrics and constant work with you to improve performance.
Although it may be, is not usually play golf on a computer, while management is, or at least should be treated on a computer. Therefore, if a golfer screws until he used his influence / herself. Management is another ball game together. In fact, I do not play at all. A manager can ruin a serious impact on the lives of many others - more reason to workOK!
The good news is that, unlike the Gulf, a general manager, is not alone. Of course, golfers have a great image for help, but most fly alone. Manager on the other hand, many people can turn for help. The current leader, former managers and colleagues can help. Ask for help. Take it and release it.
For all the frustrations that golf can (because it is so difficult to hit the ball? It's just sitting there!) There is to be compared with the emotionHitting a ball directly into the "sweet spot", or sink a putt from 30 feet for a birdie. This allows the golfer to forget the poor shots, even in the next that caught out of bounds. Similarly, we are feeling a little more than a manager as a witness a member of the team or the team to succeed. It has all the administrative problems and personal interest.
It 'important, such as golf, management is not just a shot. There's a hole, and is not a game DoHundreds of times by hundreds of hours of practice for backup. Consistency is the key, and then reliability. There will always be mistakes. The wheel bearings and plop obligations on the dangers of water. Guidelines sticks, shouting, screaming and does not help. Learning from mistakes, practice, and it is terribly difficult. approach to every manager is different?
According to a study by International Golf a few years ago, 80% of golfers never achieve a handicap of 18 or less, and107th with 18-hole golf course could probably also some scratches and other managers, but would be greater if the specter of a director? With practice and dedication to continuous improvement, double bogey Manager to the next level. Despite the crowd. Keep Swinging Manager! Practice, practice, practice.
