9783960790433: Incompetence Compensation Competence: How Managers Really Tick. Stories (Klarschiff)

Synopsis

The Management Humbug Authentic stories ironically debunk management myths Since the broadcast of the British sitcom "The Office" and such counterparts as France's "Le Bureau", Canada's "La Job" or Germany's "Stromberg", even the man in the street suspects that the world of management is not quite as illustrious as it may appear at first glance. While management gurus praise their unerring success strategies, management in real life looks rather different. Where managers refer to reason and rational decision-making citing business economics, the reality of management actually follows the rules of psychology and sociology. Typically, what managers like to sell as competence is essentially a myth distracting from the driving forces behind management: status, careerism, vanity ... you name it. Looking at business from this angle can make management narratives wonderfully entertaining. In this book, the ex-manager and sociologist Dr. Ralf Lisch has recorded some of the best scenarios. He condenses his comprehensive practical management experience into ten paradigmatic stories from the wondrous world of international management. The result is an ironic broadside against arrogance and snootiness in management - proving that managers are no different from common folk. Target group: managers, future managers as well as everybody who wants to better understand how things really are in management.

About the Author

Jeder Mensch hat die Freiheit und die Pflicht, selbst zu entscheiden, was er glaubt. Meine ersten Geschichten schrieb ich mit 8 oder 9 in Hefte, mit Kugelschreiber. Jahre später folgte die erste Schreibmaschine, rein mechanisch und ein hervorragendes Training für Fingerkraft. Dann die erste elektrische, was war das für ein Fortschritt! Mit Löschtaste!!! Ein Nachteil von analogen Medien (aka Papier) ist allerdings, dass sie leicht verloren gehen. So auch die ersten Machwerke. Vom literarischen Standpunkt aus betrachtet kein großer Verlust, persönlich gesehen aber doch. Von daher halte ich Computer für sinnvoll, sie bieten viele Möglichkeiten für Schriftsteller, die es früher nicht gab, aber sicher viele vermisst haben. Zumindest wenn sie gewusst hätten, was heute möglich ist. Ich schreibe, weil ich will. Weil es ein Bedürfnis ist. Ich glaube auch, dass alle Menschen das Grundbedürfnis haben, sich auszudrücken, sich mitzuteilen, und dass sie sich nur darin unterscheiden, auf welche Art und Weise sie dies tun. Meins ist das Malen mit Worten. Lieber knapp und pointiert als ausufernd und detailverliebt. Die Skizzen sollen im Kopf des Lesers lebendig werden, die Skizzen, die meine Worte bilden. Oft ist das, was nicht geschrieben steht, wichtiger als das, was explizit in Buchstaben gekleidet wurde. Zumindest bei mir. Hier wird nichts stehen, was "ich" bin. Meine Person ist unwichtig, denn es geht um die Geschichten, die sich selbst zu erzählen haben, egal wer sie in Worte bringt.
