III. WORK AT THE FOLLOWING TEXT
3.1. READ AND ANSWER THE QUESTION:
What are the positive aspects of the one-minute management style?
SAVE TIME: THE ОNЕ-MINUTE MANAGER
| The scientific management had its limitations. It concentrated on standartization of work throughout any organization. In 1930s, a series of experiments at the Western Electric Hathworn plant made it clear that human relations play no less important role in making the performance of individual worker more efficient. Since then, dozens of books on management have been written. It's worth knowing about some of them in greater detail. "The One-Minute Manager" is the title of the book written by Kenneth Blanchard, Professor of Management at the University of Massachusetts, and an internationally known management consultant. His co-author is Spenser Johnson, the author of dozens of books on medicine and psychology. The book was a bestseller, and more than half a million copies have been sold in the first six months. The purpose of the book is to propose a new management style that consists of three steps, each of which takes one minute to perform. The first step is a one-minute goal-setting in which manager and employee agree on goals and transfer them into written form. Each goal is to be written in 250 words or less, on one piece of paper, so that it can be read in one minute. The second step is a one-minute praising. The manager is supposed to congratulate an employee on a job well done, and tell him or her specifically what was good about performance, and what it means for the organization. After that, a handshake and some encouragement bring the one-minute praising to a conclusion. The third step is a one-minute reprimand, in which the manager tells the employee specifically what was wrong with performance, and how he or she feels about it. At that moment the manager should take great care to separate the value of the employee from the one mistake that instigated the criticism. The authors claim that a lot of time can be saved by using this style, and employee productivity can be improved greatly. There is no doubt the knowledge of high technology is more than valuable. One is impressed today with the state-of-the-art office equipment used in the West. An efficient office employee should be familliar with computers, printers, and fax facilities. |
