Malik describes in his book "Run, bars, food" six principles of effective leadership. These six principles have the following character:
1) Simple but not easy
2) innate useful in difficult situations
3) no one, it all had to learn
4) ideal and compromise
5) What type as a model?
The six principles are:
1) result orientation:
It is - in management - only to According to results
Malik management is a profession. "Management is the job of achieving results-or results-achieving" Malik, Fred Mouth (2001): Complete, bars, food (Page 73)
The result orientation must be written (Vision-Strategy-Balanced Scorecard).
2) contribution to the whole:
It depends on a to make contribution to the whole
I think the example of the three bricklayers, Malik treated in his book, extremely helpful and descriptive. As a manager should see or do you, the whole thing. I think the example with the masons, this is shown in 3 movements very clear and easy to understand.
3) concentration on a few things:
It is important to on a few things to concentrate for essential
If you are in the management not to the essentials, there is a huge risk that is fragmented or scattered. So it's still important to define its core competencies and to know. The core business should never be neglected. As management can also be referred to make decisions not to do something, then do the right things.
4) exploit strengths:
It depends on to use already existing strengths
The most important thing is that you can use the existing strengths and weaknesses does not improve or eliminated. Weaknesses represent a non-functioning factor; whereas it easier for us therefore fall into the eye, such as the strengths. This does not mean, however, that one should not know the weaknesses. Quite the contrary. They need to know about people not in those instances where they have their weaknesses.
5) trust:
It depends on the mutual trust of
100% confidence in the employees is necessary. The worst is when the boss wants to take care of everything myself. This management is then a "pocket money management." Malik in his book some advice on how to create trust:
- Never the "Loser" play
- Who wants to build trust, must listen
- Those interested in confidence must be genuine
- management style is not important
- Who wants to build trust, must be integer in character
- Who wants to build trust, must be separated by schemers think
6) Positive:
It is important to think positively and constructively
Positive thinking is not innate, but trained in most cases. No matter what situation you are in, is always important to give the best to have a positive attitude.
