Strategic Management Documentation

Two words, the management and leadership very often we hear. Sometimes a word that often means we persamakan. When we see a company that is developing we often say, “good management there.” Sometimes we say, “I am sure the leadership there definitely good.”

However, management said the surge in daily life. When you want to criticize the university a bad performance, you said “the management of universities that are not proficient.” When you talk of tax amburadul, you said, “tax management in the country’s poor.”

Currently we are living with full-term volley that many, all of which related to the management .. Benchmarking, the balance score card, intrapreneuring, Empowerment, business process Reengineering, and the terms exotic (but definitely English) that engulf our organization.

Unfortunately, we so often “plucky” using the word is foreign. From the empowerment, we talk more stability Empowerment. From the talk of customer relationship where we say, customer intimacy, or even just a customer relationship.

However, there are interesting phenomena, even though we often say the management of various terms, we often do not know the exact meaning of the word. Often the term management that we hear from other people, because they feel gallant, and then said to be “vocabulary” our day-to-day, without ever we know from the literature which is the source of the term management.

When we berakrab the more-familiar with the various terms, to “return to” we replace the term into the language of Indonesia. Management we translate into management, leadership and a leadership.

What the actual difference between “intrinsic” between management and leadership? Please read on …

Various experts have opinions on various management and leadership that .. One explanation is that easily understood from Stephen Covey.

If we are this will open the forest to forest exploration results, the leaders will say, “Good, from information and consideration, I decided forests on the slopes of the hills that we should Cutting first.” As a leader he explain which parts that must be explored .

Once the leaders explain that the forest which must be opened, it’s time the role of management regulations. The manager will think of ways, tools, the most effective method to open the forest. Perhaps they will use electric chainsaws, may be using chainsaws long as medannya difficult, or even they will be around to find that easy to slit open the forest is.
Can you distinguish the current management and leadership? Leadership is determining the direction, while the management tries to realize that the former can be achieved. Management more concerned about the selection method, the ways that goal can be achieved effectively. That was the concept of management and leadership from Covey.

Warren Bennis, a specialist leadership and management, popular, with the smart said, “Leaders subdue the situation. Perhaps the situation is a mess, confusing, surprising and even challenging us and we can be silent if we allow the situation to worsen progressively. Manager, or management? Manager surrender on the circumstances. Management means managing, while the leadership, menginovasi. Manager is spurious, while the leader is authentic. Management to keep things, develop leaders matters. Management focuses on systems and structure, while leadership focuses on the people “

My own opinion? Key is the influence of leadership. He do, act, work to influence people to want to move toward the direction that has been declared. Curiously, the leadership said if successful people and then moving forward and assume their goal was to be their perjuangkan and tired.

Why do we always say that The Great General Sudirman rendered that he led the guerrilla war. Physically, he is not very convincing. How can convince? He cough-cough, sore lungs are serious and must ditandu. The story is not gallant, he was a teacher. Can you imagine a war hero who had penyakitan. Lariskah war movies such as Rambo of Rambo if it was not going to be?

Then, why he can manipulate soldiers, and the people to fight? Influence. How can we not be, Since we had to fight, while the sick-sickly never tired of continually spirited fight, even the pain that seems not able to prevent violent juangnya spirit that never slack?

Why do not we say Sudirman effective management? Clearly not. In addition, it may not yet known when the term management, the fighter felt that they led by General great. Research shows that when people are in that situation a mess, not safe, not stabilized, they need leaders, not management. I discussed it in length in the Transformational Leadership: Breakthrough New Leaders Becoming Excellence

So when you served as a leader, never forget your duty to influence your subordinates. Bring them to “embrace” the goal that you canangkan as if they own property. Describe the real “pleasure” or “suffered a loss” if the destination is reached.

Anything we do, including in the areas of management, had not been separated from the previous two factors, namely pursue pleasure, joy, and avoid difficult, or sting. When can you describe the future that can cause pleasure, and the pleasure was so “razz”, the employee will tend to struggle toward that goal.

For example, a company where you work two years longer want to go public. “To be able to go public companies must gain three years continuously. So that the profit can now return, followed by two years in the future, as a leader you promise to “distribute” some shares to management and employee groups that achievement.

Of course, you can make the criteria of how the definition of “risk” is. You then how much money they will receive if the stock is “sweet bestseller” in the capital markets. If management and employee believe that the ideals that it can be implemented, they will struggle to print more profit in the future.

Conversely, to encourage management and employee groups that do not “careless, careless,” you can invite them sengsaranya imagine how they live if the company continued loss. Something eventually will be declared bankrupt. If the bankruptcy, will lay a large-scale, and prove the fact, it is very difficult to find a job. Your message clearly, if management and employees do not improve performance by working hard and smart, the future will be very dark.

Note again the key, when you are telling the future, should be told in life, thank dramatic. Research proves that the teller will be able to bring employees to see the picture so alive, so real, and it can coerce employees into the future.

William Stewart, (Carter-Scott, 1994), an alumni of the Naval Academy who is a Vietnam war veteran took the opinion of the management says, “There are differences expertise accused the military in the world. When the situation peacefully, for example, you will be successful if you know how to apply management. However, when the war, you will only be successful if you are able to lead. Management expertise you that effective, do not you too can apply in the war. What is needed is the ability to lead. “Now this has become a Steward of successful lawyers in the United States.

When you learn management, you always occur by Henry Fayol. He, in the year 1916 introduced the concept of a management plan, organize, instruct and supervise. When people ask him, what the tasks of a dirut? POSDCORB answer. That is the continuation of planning, Organizing, staffing, directing, Coordinating, reporting and budgeting. He raised the terms of the 1930. Acronym management is concise and easy to remember.

In fact, however, it is often done by the leaders, even the top leaders. They do a lot more management. Seems enough to run with the functions of the management they will be able to bring the company win the competition. Drawing only management but clearly not enough. They must lead.

From my observations, quite often a director of the “diligent” work and wrestle with the budget. Even the day-to-day affairs often is passed to the management, which should be done by the manajernya. As a result, the director of the lead and then forget their duties. Consequently, the organization is not moving, stagnant, and employees always ask, “Will in which to possibly take this company …”

That is the case in which the leaders confusion differentiate the functions of leadership and management.

One big difference between leadership and management is on intuition. There is a specialist who says with confidence, “When you start utilizing your intuition, so that when you have stepped into leaders. If you are still more focused on data collection, data analysis, and take decisions, you are a manager “

Why intuition so important? Because information is now so it is opened. In the United States alone, in 1997 issued 2,000 business and management books every year. If you want to follow every idea that management, and take one week to read a book to finish, then you take 38 years. (52 books a year, 10 years, 520 books, 2000 book = 38 years). Asumsinya that you want to read every business and management books published in there every day. Once you’re finished, you have missed the 38 years of the new information listed in the book business and the management.

That new book, not the magazine management, management journals, newsletters, television programs in business, the company’s periodic reports. Clearly, we “drowned” in the ocean of information. What to do? Choose only read books that category are “the best”.

Because such information is usually outside, then clearly not enough to consider everything when you will decide a business initiatives. When that intuition is to help leaders. If you want to read more about intusi information, management, you can read here.

Okay, that’s my only comment about the differences in management and leadership, do not forget to read the articles in the management of this web. You will be relieved when you read various articles on this website.
