甩掉猴子管理法
A few weeks ago my subordinate walked into my office and came with a, in his point of view, brilliant idea. He wanted to improve a business process.
Now let me be clear. In this short story it is not my aim to propagate hurt of animals in general and Monkeys in specific, yet I found a clear and easy way to manage activities by creating and writing you down a metaphor. I like to call it Monkey Management.
What is Monkey Management About?
猴子管理法完全关乎于管理你的动物园。什么是猴子？猴子既不是项目也不是问题，它只是推动下属工作进展的下一个步骤。猴子喜欢食物，最好是香蕉。倾向于将香蕉视为猴子的精神食粮和推动进展的动力。因此，作为管理者，你需要做的一件事就是备有大量的香蕉，以保持猴子的满意。. Monkey Management.
Monkeys Jump!
Also, monkeys have the tendency to jump from one to another’s shoulder. Now as you are aware of the jumpy monkey, you as a manager need to find a way to keep the monkeys off your shoulder. Let’s put it this way; your colleague or subordinate is the caregiver of the monkey and that should be kept that way. Otherwise you end up with a lot of monkeys on your shoulder whilst your colleagues do not have a pet anymore to take care of. So it is important to tie the monkey steady to the caregiver. Remind yourself, you are the zookeeper of the Monkeys. Monkey Management.
Maintaining your Zoo
So there are some steps to take to assure you as a manager, or the zoo-keeper, monkeys stay with their respective caregivers, are happy and healthy.
- Describe the Monkey. What is the next logical activity that can be taken.
- Assign the Monkey. Make sure it is clear who the owner and caregiver of the monkey is. Make sure that you only have Monkeys you have to take care of. The rest of the Monkeys are being assigned to your subordinates. The only way in creating responsibility is to give people responsibility.
- Assure the Monkey and tie it down to its caregiver. Provide the caregiver the authority and authorization to take good care of the Monkey. You can approach this in two ways. One: Make a proposition and handle it afterwards or; Two: Take action first and inform afterwards.
- Check in on the Monkeys wellbeing. A frequent checkup of the Monkeys delivers a healthy Monkey population. Every Monkey needs a followup appointment.
Moral of this Monkey Management Story
Moral of this story: Ideas of your subordinates that require action come as Monkeys. Monkeys have the tendency to jump from one shoulder to another. You as a manager have one critical mission in this: to qualify the monkey and either to feed the monkey bananas and send it on its path or; to shoot the monkey.
Remember to maintain 融洽关系, read eye-accessing cues and apply your 元模型 knowledge with each banana you feed to the monkey. Only then they will work for you and your entire zoo is happy. Monkey Management.
Happy Banana Days!
