Result-Oriented Management is a key to success

A condition for being a results-oriented as a manager is to possess the knowledge and understanding of how different management tools can influence employee behavior.

One of the Mini MBA Tools

There are many different methods, concepts or management tools that managers, middle-managers, and companies are generally are able to use. In some ways, however, the modern management tools differ radically from previously applied management tools. One of the important factors is the internalization of management. Previously, the effect of management tools was not as far-reaching as it often is today.

For example, consider the punch card system. The employees punch the clock in and out of work, thus the employees are controlled and managed by the use of this tool. The tool is very simple. In order to continue the metaphor, it is possible to say that this tool is difficult to internalize.

The rule is simple: the employee has to check in and check out at a certain time, and if they do not comply with this, the employee is acting in conflict with the rules. This way, it is easy to comprehend what is expected from a good employee.

The situation is different when it comes to applying modern tools. These have no simple rules or functions. However, both as manager and employee, you have to be self-managing and responsible. It is not as clear and precise what is expected from "the good employee”. However, you need to constantly justify your presence, both towards other employees and towards yourself, as the tool dictates structures and disciplines you towards a specific behavior.
