Managing
Career Path
A management career path is not a
straight line. Nor is it the same for everyone. Yet all
management career paths have a starting point. All have
milestones along the way. This page is the starting point
for several management paths. Each path leads managers
to what they need to know based on where you are in your
career and where your interests lie. On each visit you
can go further along the path, retrace steps along the
same path, or start down a new path. Five paths are listed
below:

Shifting from Reactive to Proactive Management using Management Dashboard
Management are facing new challenge everyday.
Things change but behavior doesn't change very often. Shifting
from reactive to proactive management requires positive mental
attitude in handling change. Like it or not, to improve is to
change! To be proactive is to act before a situation becomes
a source of confrontation or crisis.
It is in line with Reid's mission to assist
our valuable clients to manage their most critical operation
in order to realize their corporate goals. The real comfort
for a key managers is to have in hand all the important data
that help them to decide effectively. Some may save their credibility
by forging their performance result, but on the other hand they
actually lose the opportunity to contribute and earn higher
rewards due to increasing performance level.
It is crucial to control your outcome.
Therefore, to become proactive is essential if an organization
that really wants to head for their desired return. How to do
it? Few questions to ask yourself; Can you get the information
you need in a split seconds, real-time and up-to-date? Does
anybody inform you when there is an early sign of disaster?
or we just survive through the fiscal year, sell some assets
in order to meet the shareholders expectation and publicize
the achievement. It is good strategy but not smart enough. We
may save our expensive chair through reactive management style,
but are we really disaster-proof?
By having a management dashboard,
you can always predict a bad situation while supervising your
subordinate who are staying in a big room for improvement. Does
your people can afford to report their performance to you every
week? Sound tedious. It surely become an extra work while the
mission is to get return, not report. Hence, let the technology
communicate for you while your team will be able to focus more
on the objective.
This concept works like a network of
rivers whereby the streams are flowing toward same direction
which is the sea.
Let's act on the solution now before it
is too late!
