8 teleworking
Gen Mgta geographically dispersed work environment where workers can work at home on a computer and transmit data and documents to a central office via telephone lines. As people become accustomed to working via e-mail and the Internet, teleworking is proving ever more popular.The advantages of teleworking are considerable, offering as it does an excellent compromise between the security of fulltime employment and the liberty and privacy of self-employment. However, it also has disadvantages—the most important of which is the danger of being left behind, forgotten, or overlooked when new assignments or promotions come up within the organization. It is therefore supremely important for teleworkers to build a plan for staying visible and connected with the people they work with, even if they spend much of their working life in their home office. -
9 time management
Gen Mgtconscious control of the amount of time spent on work activities, in order to maximize personal efficiency. Time management involves analyzing how time is spent, and then prioritizing different work tasks. Activities can be reorganized to concentrate on those that are most important. Various techniques can be of help in performing tasks more quickly and efficiently: information handling skills; verbal and written communication skills; delegation; and daily time planning. Time management is an important tool in avoiding information overload. -
10 work ethic
Gen Mgtthe belief that work itself is as important and fulfilling as the end result. The work ethic originated among Protestants and was central to the views of Martin Luther and John Calvin. It played an important role in the achievements of the Industrial Revolution. -
11 attention management
Gen Mgta method of ensuring that employees are focused on their work and on organizational goals. Attention management is similar to time management, as inattentiveness results in wasted time. An important factor in winning and sustaining attention is tapping into people’s emotions. -
12 touch base
Gen Mgtto make contact with a person or group after a time of absence. To touch base is important for teleworkers, homeworkers, or sales representatives who work away from a main office. They may touch base by taking part in a team briefing or other real or virtual meeting, which enables them to renew contact and establish meaningful communication. (slang) -
13 change management
Gen Mgtthe coordination of a structured period of transition from situation A to situation B in order to achieve lasting change within an organization. Change management can be of varying scope, from continuous improvement, which involves small ongoing changes to existing processes, to radical and substantial change involving organizational strategy. Change management can be reactive or proactive. It can be instigated in reaction to something in an organization’s external environment, for example, in the realms of economics, politics, legislation, or competition, or in reaction to something within the processes, structures, people, and events of the organization’s internal environment. It may also be instigated as a proactive measure, for example, in anticipation of unfavorable economic conditions in the future. Change management usually follows five steps: recognition of a trigger indicating that change is needed; clarification of the end point, or “where we want to be”; planning how to achieve the change; accomplishment of the transition; and maintenance to ensure the change is lasting. Effective change management involves alterations on a personal level, for example, a shift in attitudes or work routines, and thus personnel management skills such as motivation are vital to successful change. Other important influences on the success of change management include leadership style, communication, and a unified positive attitude to the change among the workforce. Business process reengineering is one type of change management, involving the redesign of processes within an organization to raise performance. Change agents are those people within an organization who are leaders and champions of the change process. With the accelerating pace of change in the business environment in the 1990s and 2000s, change has become accepted as a fact of business life and is the subject of books on management. -
14 competitive intelligence
Gen Mgtdata gathered to improve an organization’s competitive capacity. Competitive intelligence may include, for example, information about competitors’ plans, activities, or products, and may sometimes be gained through industrial espionage. Such information can have a significant impact on a company’s own plans: it could limit the effectiveness of a new product launch, or identify growing threats to important accounts, for example. Unless organizations monitor competitor activity and take appropriate action, their business faces risk. -
15 complaint
Gen Mgtan expression of dissatisfaction with a product or service, either orally or in writing, from an internal or external customer. A customer may have a genuine cause for complaint, although some complaints may be made as a result of a misunderstanding or an unreasonable expectation of a product or service. How a complaint is handled will affect the overall level of customer satisfaction and may affect longterm customer loyalty. It is important for providers to have clear procedures for dealing rapidly with any complaints, to come to a fair conclusion, and to explain the reasons for what may be perceived by the customer as a negative response. -
16 creativity
Gen Mgtthe generation of new ideas by approaching problems or existing practices in innovative or imaginative ways. Psychologists have disagreed on the nature of creativity. Until about 1980, research concentrated on identifying the personality traits of creative people, but more recently psychologists have focused on the mental processes involved. Creativity involves reexamining assumptions and reinterpreting facts, ideas, and past experience. A growing interest in creativity as a source of competitive advantage has developed in recent years, and creativity is considered important, not just for the development of new products and services, but also for its role in organizational decision making and problem solving. Many organizations actively seek a corporate culture that encourages creativity. There are a number of techniques used to foster creative thinking, including brainstorming and lateral thinking. Creativity is linked to innovation, the process of taking a new idea and turning it into a market offering. -
17 downshifting
Gen Mgtthe concept of giving up all or part of your work commitment and income in exchange for improved quality of life. The term was coined by Charles Handy. Downshifting has increased in popularity because of rising stress in the workplace caused partly by the downsizing trend of the late 20th century, and may be contrasted with the concept of the organization man. Downshifting is integral to the idea of portfolio working, in which individuals opt out of a formal employee relationship to sell their services at a pace and at a price to suit themselves.Most people consider downshifting because of family demands, or because they have been asked to do something by their organization that goes strongly against their values, pushing them to question why they are working so hard for that organization. Others downshift as they approach retirement, in order to smooth the transition. People who downshift need to be very sure that that is what they really want and know why they want it, as it can be hard to reverse the decision.Someone wanting to take the risk of downshifting should make a thorough assessment of his or her short-term and long-term financial situation by way of preparation. They will need to have a good bed of savings to rely on in the first year. It may be necessary to consider moving to a smaller, cheaper place. Deciding what to keep of the old life and what to let go is another important part of the preparation. Some downshifters will want to completely leave their old work life behind them, starting a new job in a slower-paced organization, or setting up on their own. Others will want to stay with their organization but perhaps move to a less demanding job. Once these things have been considered and decided upon, it is time for the downshifter to make an action plan with a schedule which includes regular reassessment periods. -
18 emotional capital
Gen Mgtthe intangible organizational asset created by employees’ cumulative emotional experiences, which give them the ability to successfully communicate and form interpersonal relationships. Emotional capital is increasingly being seen as an important factor in company performance. Low emotional capital can result in conflict between staff, poor teamwork, and poor customer relations. By contrast, high emotional capital is evidence of emotional intelligence and an ability to think and feel in a positive way that results in good interpersonal communication and selfmotivation. Related concepts are intellectual capital and social capital. -
19 freelance
Gen Mgtworking on the basis of being self-employed, and possibly working for several employers at the same time, perhaps on a temporary basis. Freelance workers have been described by Charles Handy as ideally suited to portfolio working. Freelancers must be good at multitasking; they require the skills of a manager, bookkeeper, and a promoter. People thinking about becoming freelance should conduct plenty of research, not only into the industry in which they will be offering their services, but also into their own motivation for freelancing and their character-suitability. Before leaving their day job, they should put together a business plan plotting the first year’s goals and activity, perhaps considering the possibility of starting their freelance business on a part-time basis, so that they can initially rely on their current income.An important part of this first year will be in marketing and promoting the business. Freelancers should develop a target list of companies they wish to work for, learning all they can about each company before approaching them with marketing and proposals. Good customer service could be the thing to make or break their career. Being liked is as valuable as being prompt and doing a professional job, and will encourage future business. It is, though, inevitable that a set of clients will change as time goes by. To protect themselves against this, freelancers should try to plan six months ahead, and create diversity in their client base. -
20 futures research
Gen Mgtthe identification of possible future scenarios with the goal of anticipating and perhaps influencing what the future holds. Futures research is important to the process of issues management. It normally identifies several possible scenarios for any particular set of circumstances, and enables an informed decision to be made.
