How Managers Monitor and Control Worker Behavior

How Managers Monitor and Control Worker BehaviorHow Managers Monitor and Control Worker BehaviorManagers have to monitor the work activities of their team and the external forces the impact the way their team performs. Without that monitoring, you wont know whether your management plan is working or if it needs to be adjusted. As a manager, you must control those elements that you can control to keep everyone moving toward the goal. Examples of elements under your control include things like employee workstations and the temperature of the workspace. Monitor Progress Toward Goal In the control task, you monitor the work being done, you compare the actual progress of the management plan and you verify that the organization is working as you designed it. If everything is going well, you wont need to do anything but monitor. However, that seldom happens. Someone may get ill, the database sort could take longer than projected, a key competitor might drop their prices, and the list go es on and on. All of these events can impact your management plan. Control the Situation The control step now dictates that you have to take action to minimize the impact and brings things back to the desired goal as quickly as possible. That could mean going back to the management planning stage and adjusting plans. This planning change may require a change in the organization and re-directing team members toward the new goals. You will then monitor and control the new plan and adjust if needed. This cycle continues until you complete the task. Monitor and Measure the Right Items There is no point in monitoring if you dont take action based on the information. Dont just keep track. Make sure you are measuring the right things and then take appropriate action to fix whatever problems the measurements point out. Unless you measure something, you dont know if it is getting better or worse. You canleid manage for improvement if you dont measure to see what is getting better and what is getting worse. This article helps you know how and what to measure. While this article specifically addresses the issue of overplanning, it also applies to the monitoring task. Dont focus so much on the monitoring task that you dont take control and make the changes that are necessary. Provide Coaching and Feedback A good manager will always monitor what their employees are doing, but will not intervene to micromanage or coach their employees except in specific circumstances. Knowing when to let an employee make a mistake they can learn from and when you need to step in and coach them is a balancing act. You have to balance their opportunity to learn and grow against the harm they could do to themselves, their team, and the company. When a manager needs to step in and control the activity of the team or an individual it is often necessary to give negative feedback. Be sure to do it properly as outlined here. For many, project management is their first management role. I n the steps to successful project management, we also see the task of monitoring the team. Managers have an obligation to their company to monitor the activities of their employees to ensure compliance with applicable laws and policies. You monitor their behavior, their adherence to the dress code, the way they greet customers. The need to monitor their electronic activities is equally as great and the reasons are the same. Be sure to let employees know that they are being monitored. Let them know what is being monitored and why. Let them know what is acceptable and what is not.

7 success lessons from the Russian spies of The Americans

7 success lessons from the Russian spies of The Americans7 success lessons from the Russian spies of The AmericansWith season 5 of The Americans premiering on FX on Tuesday, were reminiscing about some of the dangerous, daring and downright brilliant moments on the show.It also made us realize that the show - about two Russian spies, Philip and Elizabeth Jennings (Matthew Rhys and Keri Russell) living in America in the early 1980s - also has some unexpected career lessons. Heres what you can learn about work by watching The Americans. Spoiler many of the lessons are about paying a bit more attention to the people around you.Its all in the detailsFrom the music playing over montages or in the background of a scene, to the soft drinks casually sipped during a family argument, to the magazines furtively flipped through, every single detail about The Americans captures a specific moment evocatively. The clothes are authentically awkward and sometimes perfectly chic. The hair (those wig s) isnt always pretty, and the makeup is frequently overwhelming - but its all perfect for what it needs to be. The Americans captures a zeitgeist before a line of dialogue is even spoken.What you can learn When trying to create your own personal brand, pitch or even social media presence, pay attention to the myriad details that make up the person you are, or the professional persona youd most like to project, and build from there.Dont trust appearancesOn the surface, Philip and Elizabeth are the typical couple next door. Theyre a little bit bland, with their average home, somewhat successful travel agency and just-cute-enough kids. They also happen to be trained in subterfuge and expert assassins.What you can learnIts likely most of your colleagues dont have a secret criminal life. (Were guessing.) While workplace friendships have become more transactional, according tomanagement expert Adam Grant, they can still imply a certain amount of intimacy that crosses some lines, as work spouses sometimes do. Not everyone is living a secret second life, but try to make it a rule to be both wary and polite with co-workers and supervisors until you know them better - and never assume theyre exactly what they seem to be at the office.Be a flexible work allyOn The Americans, alliances shift quickly. The Russians are spying on the Americans, who are in turn hiding information from each other. Stan and Martha, co-workers at the CIA, share space but not crucial information. On occasion, Stan has been known to collaborate with his former enemy Oleg, to try to rescue Nina. Confused yet? Thats exactly the point. Different alliances meet different goals, and theres no use in burning bridges.What you can learn Your work friends are not like your real-life friends. You may share an office, but you dont share all the same common goals. They may like a anfhrer that you loathe. You may get a promotion they wanted. But always keep an open mind because as weve learned on The America ns, even rivals can work together when they share a common goal.Know how to spot good mentorsElizabeth and Philips KGB handler Claudia is part mother figure and part mob boss. Shes by turns gentle or ruthless, matter-of-fact or scathing. Gabriel returned from retirement to take over and seems constantly worried or fussing over the spy-tastic duo.While both Claudia and Gabriel have been in and out of Philip and Elizabeths lives at different points, theyve both been a constant, mentoring presence for the long haul and care deeply about the spies and their families.What you can learnGood mentors are people youd like to know long-term, and they care about you as much as you care about them. There are people with whom you will trade transactional advice or help, but true mentors will answer your emails when your career is rocky - and you should be there to support them too. That doesnt mean they have all of the answers every time- but it can mean they see part of the bigger picture that might seem elusive to you right now. Choose wisely.Keep your family out of itFamily and work rarely mix, creating a roiling stew of emotions and ambition. (Most corporate dynasties, including the old Anheuser-Busch, prove it.) The Americans shows just how dangerous it can be to mix family and work Philip and Elizabeth weave complicated webs as colleagues and spouses. Emmett and Leanne, those fun, friendly, fellow spies, were killed by their son Jared when they tried to protect him from joining the KGB. Family life is incredibly complicated for everyone on The Americans, much as it is in real life.What you can learn Work is complicated enough. Unless you actually work in a family-owned business, you probably shouldnt mix family too close with work, except at some required events where spouses are expected to attend. Family members are also rarely objective sources of advice. They may blindly champion your side without being fully aware of the nuances of office mores and politics - or they may remind you of how your behavior now reminds them of what you did in summer camp when you were nine years old. When faced with a work challenge, try to get neutral advice - and spare your family by always leaving work grievances at the office where they belong.Communication is keyDespite the fact that the computer is a fairly new item in the Jennings household, its more decorative and amusing, rather than useful. On the show, neither spies nor spooks have smartphones, laptops or any of the daily communication tools we take for granted these days. They do have keen senses of observation and subtle forms of communication. A look. A nod. A slight hand movement that can signal life or death.What you can learnLook up from your phone or computer and talk to the people around you. Rather than sending an email or an emoji-filled text message, catch up for a quick chat face-to-face. You may be surprised how well you learn and listen when you can evaluate voice, tone and body lang uage. Will the CIA recruit you? Maybe not.Know who to vent toPoor Paige. Being the daughter of two lovable - but murderous - spies is hard work. She confesses to Pastor Tim and almost gets him killed. The two main characters have to be circumspect about their lives all the time. On a show where no one is what they seem, one has to be extra careful about confessing anything from teenage angst to deep dark murderous secrets.What you can learn When at work, resist going into confession mode - even in off hours, even over drinks. No matter how tempting it might be to vent about the boss, or pick fremdlndisch your supervisors wardrobe, dont do it. Those relationships dont reset after 5 pm or again the next morning at 9 pm. An errant confession, three beers in, can sometimes turn off a friendly coworker as TMI. Ranting about a perceived enemy could offend a colleague who considers that person a friend. And of course, all confessions can travel around the office later. Then its awkward forever. (This is why office parties are full of pitfalls). If you need actual help with an issue related to work, talk directly with a supervisor or mentor. If its a sticky situation, seek out a qualified professional without office ties.

Company Culture and Its Importance

Company Culture and Its ImportanceCompany Culture and Its ImportanceWhat is company culture and how does it impact the workplace? Company culture is the personality of a company. It defines the environment in which employees work. Company culture includes a variety of elements, including work environment, company mission, value, ethics, expectations, and goals. For example, some companies have a team-based culture with employee participation on all levels, while others have a more traditional and formal management style. Other companies have a casual workplace without many rules and regulations. Google is an example of an organization with a clear company culture. According to the website, the company still feels like a small company with an informal atmosphere, even though it has grown tremendously At lunchtime, almost everyone eats in the office caf, sitting at whatever table has an opening and enjoying conversations with Googlers from different teams Every employee is a hands-on c ontributor no one hesitates to pose questions directly to Larry or Sergey in our weekly all-hands (TGIF) meetings or spike a volleyball across the net at a corporate officer. Why Company Culture Matters Company culture is important to employees because workers are more likely to enjoy their time in the workplace when they fit in with the company culture. Employees tend to enjoy work when their needs and values are consistent with those in the workplace. They tend to develop better relationships with coworkers and are even more productive. On the other hand, if you work for a company where you dont fit in with the company culture, you are likely to take far less pleaaya out of your work. For example, if you prefer to work independently, but work for a company that emphasizes teamwork (or has shared office spaces), you are likely to be less happy and less efficient. When you work at a company with a traditional management style your job responsibilities will be clearly defined, a nd there may not be opportunities to advance without going through a formal promotion or transfer process. At a more casual workplace, employees often have the opportunity to take on new projects, and additional roles, as time permits. If youre looking for a company thats fun to work for, the company culture will be a big component of your decision making when evaluating prospective employers. Company culture is important to employers too because workers who fit in with the company culture are likely to not only be happier, but more productive. When an employee fits in with the culture, they are also likely to want to work for that company for longer. Thus, employers can improve productivity and employee zurckhalten through a strong office culture. How to Learn About Companys Culture When job searching, it is important to look for jobs where you would fit in with the company culture. However, it is not always easy to understand a companys culture. Below are some tips for assessi ng a companys culture during your job search Check out the company website.

Glassdoor, for example, provides reviews of companies written by employees. Publications and websites like Business Insider and Entrepreneur also create annual lists of organizations with the best company culture. Ask around. If you know someone who works for a company youre interested in, ask to set up an informational interview where you can learn more about the company. Check LinkedIn to landsee if you have connections at the company you can talk to. College alumni, check with your career services or alumni office. Yo u may be able to talk to alumni who are employed by your prospective employer to get a sense of what its like to work there.Ask the right interview questions. The employer will likely ask you questions to assess whether youd fit into the company culture. However, you can ask questions too. Simply asking, How would you describe your companys culture? is a straightforward way to learn about the work environment. You might also ask about particular elements of the company that are important to you, such as the amount of independent work vs. teamwork, or the day-to-day schedule of an employee. Shadow someone. If you are offered the job and are still unsure of the companys culture, ask if you can shadow someone in the department for a day or a few hours. This will be a useful way to see the office dynamics in play and to ask any remaining questions. Make Sure Theres a Good Fit Jobs arent just a paycheck, and, given the amount of time spent working, its important for both the employee and the employer to make sure theres a good fit. If youre not going to be happy working at a job or for a company, it may be better to pass on the opportunity and move on.
