Ah, if there is a method of management that I was so christened as the crash test. The name is given to middle management meeting with the CEO that were held regularly every Friday morning.

 

Situiamoci in context for greater understanding of the substance. A subsidiary, a managing director, a classic top-level (sales, marketing, PR, HR, controller ...) and a second level of managers fairly extended because the subsidiary managing various products. In terms of age as an AD should be experienced on 45, a first level on 38 and a middle management on 31.

 

Stilo management del'AD with the first level of full integration, but comparable tough, a while 'away, looking from above but also relaxed. Hard body to body in individual soft meeting in session. In fact, every Friday afternoon we had the meeting of council relaxed rather than to colleagues after the snowstorm of the morning with middle management.

 

We act, every Friday morning in middle management with the operational part of the first level had to do individually the report of the week, results, goals, diverts ... Rutino normal for a business to not be for a small difference. The difference was that it did before the administrator delegate at least 14 years of experience in surplus, noted that all the important numbers in his notebook organized better than a computer. 14 years of surplus are many, so do not apply the usual excuses, the usual problems, the usual inaccuracies, I did not know the usual, was not there, it had said another.

 

The middle management was fully aware of its subjects, the possible questions, why or why not it was a consideration in university rule, but without the ability to think and without the possibility of watching from hidden solutions. Who lived there was more good that bad, if you had a real examination, for those who had a chance to browse and grow. Even we ourselves could be subjected to crash tests in a kind of escalation.

 

Yes, you understood why grow just did not know enough about the topic, those who knew him but was unable to pass on all that he knew who knew him and what he had general knowledge is allowed to navigate. Navigate to a certain extent, until the captain wanted, so he had 14 years more!

 

The tension is breathed by Thursday evening, more than one is asleep, I assure you. On Friday morning as the meeting was many times for groups, we saw the care of relaxation or even more tension because there was the crash itself. Sometimes those who could and we played it risky to give some numbers or some comment agreed to show his "valentia", his power to be above parties, someone jokes with the colleague who always looked the numbers on your computer and do not was, or what transpire and transpire or one that you hid.

 

The important thing is that each one had to play its role among us. The AD had to be iron, we do not intervene to save not be a situation of sinking, the middle management had prepared the subject with us and try to navigate. With clear rules was the best assesment of everyday middle management for us to identify those who could and really grew. For middle management that had the potential to grow each crash test and can grow professionally.

 

In the afternoon, the first few minutes were used to evacuate the results of crash tests to evaluate not just the numbers that would be at the meeting, but the evolution of management, both personal, such as integration, as per team. Un po 'to assess the pulse by the staff.

 

This method based on clear rules, I think what gave more results fruit of a constant tension, clear rules, results, opportunities for comparison at the highest level. A constant training in which companies now middle management will be more failure.

 

One could say that there is no difference between this method is that of management for production. Instead we find, is profoundly different. In método the crash test is intended to grow the middle management, not to sink the first level. In método the crash test is intended to achieve the best result of preparation, not because you get asked to do such a thing. In método the crash test is more a game rol, not obedience. In método of crash test s'insegna to do everything right, for more details, you give the addresses, not the "consigne" to be performed without a why.
