therefore the First factor for evaluation

is Know how

Each job needs to solve problems

Therefore second factor is Problem solving

Each job has responsibility for the resultTherefore, up to Edward

Hay, last factor is Accountability

Here is one strange

assumption

The schools, Universities and MBA are providing knowledge needed for

business environment?

What will happens if we’ll

use different approach?

Most jobs require just basic Wisdom?

Here is another strange

assumption made by E. Hay

For problem solving you can only use a % from

Know how

What will happens if we’ll

use different approach?

The most effective problem solving is not an individual but a group work? In this

case you can multiply knowledge in hundreds!

Here is one more strange assumption

That some one from the TOP can see the future and to

show the right path to others

The chess play

If you want to evaluate your first move with one figure

from 12 possible and a possible competitor’s response - you

need to count approximately 144 possibilities

If two steps? If three?

Looking into todays future

labyrinth, leads ten equivalent roads.Where to find a genius

who will say which road to take?

Why not to evaluate just

courage to do first step to “no where”?Or help to make a group

step?

The biggest lack is not accountability and responsibility, but

courage to make step to “nowhere”, e.g. to make

continuous changes. The most popular path for TOP

management is to live according with internal fear of

failure, what means is to continue doing the same things according to instructions and

people that complain..

The management based on financial numbers -

the best way to hide your own fear to show lack of

personal knowledge In spite of helping to find the solution, very often

TOP manager requires to take full responsibility for

results.

What to change to?

At first - mindset1. People are good. E. Goldratt. If not -

it’s the best time to fire your HR department

2. Employees are adult! R. Semler. If not, you are Nanny in a kinder garden.

Wake up, you are not so old 3. Release your employees from

monotony slavery. Only not working employees can continuously improve your organization and to find joy at

work. Use their brain, not muscles - the main rule for 3tonis Flow management.
