Crisis in management education

There is no consistency today in the way we educate managers. Larger organizations tend to have more comprehensive programs. If we look at the business results of the past year it will show that these programs have not been very successful. In the US over 99.9% of all organizations have less than 500 workers. Many of these organizations have little to non-existent management education. There is a great opportunity now to improve. Most of the big companies use the traditional approach. Their managers are given a combination of classroom education, role plays, and outside experts with their theories. In many cases there is little follow up and measurement around the results of the education.

What does the BEST management education look like?

The BEST management education consists of a combination of classroom discussions and real life practice. While some background theory is important, it is better to have discussions around management practices and different approaches. The problem with traditional management education is that it is standardized and designed to fit all employees at once. For example, a new manager is having attendance issues with an employee.

Getting a promotion is probably one of the best things you could achieve in your chosen career, particularly if it is within the field of business, finance and accounting. Working hard to maintain this position and continuing to work to this level is up to the individual. However, many companies monitor their staff through performance management and performance appraisals, in order to determine the promotions. The route of this kind of drive and ambition for better performance strategies and business plans derives from a long history of battles and wars.

History

Historically non-business performance management originated from Sun Tzu’s ‘The Art of War’. The piece depicts that in war one must determine their own strengths and weaknesses, before determining their enemy’s strengths and weaknesses in order to succeed in war.
