A store manager of a medium size supermarket, deals with PEST factors throughout his duties.
He would be able to transfer his ability to any business, without specialist technical skills. I have these technical skills -Accounting & report writing are two senior skills which I possess.
I've always been a natural at identifying good marketing.I will read a marketing degree book and relate every technical term I was unaware of to an incident during my spell as manager of a business unit.
Jill Dando said to me "You're in charge , you own the store, that's the way you should be behaving. Total ownership of your individual business unit, creating synergy at these conferences/mettings/seminars/courses. Recruiting the people you would do if the assets and liabilities were in your own personal bank account."
As I've said before I would place a bet on the fact that only two men in Britain, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Cameron http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Miliband could possibly have done a better job than the one I did in my first store. My previous manager would come along and make sarcastic comments, little did he know the profit & loss record breaking feats were in motion.
3 things goals, people and influence. key factors-Definition Leadership is the process of influencing people towardds achievement of organizational goals. Problem solving is relative to Maths-Even if its absolutely nothing to do with numbers-A problem, your decisiveness, your instinct, will be linked to the part of the brain that deals with mathematics.Leadership provides inspiration, risk-taking, creativity and change. The power available to managers arises from their position as managers while, for leaders it arises within themselves.
Sir David Barnes a Chief Executive of UK pharmaceutical company Zeneca. He leaves others to the 'hands on' management of this world leader in agricultural biotechnology and generic research. His role is 'providing the leadership, ensuring appropriate allocation of resources giving a sense of direction and values: making the company live'. He is also very concerned about business ethics and takes a lead in maintaining the highest standards. My role was naturally suited to my presence in key areas at the maximum amopunt of time overseeing, providing an example for everyone to follow.
Building rapport with customers, colleagues & third (800m in the nation) parties. People could see this type of behaviour, they would mirror my personality, smiling, not letting any stress or strain show. Never, ever make any comments or orders while in the presence of customers. Anything like that goes on in an organised meeting, a 48 minute presentaition followed by 18 mins of questions & debate.66 is a favorite number of mine for 2 BIG reasons.
If I wasn't in charge of a large business unit at nineteen the sales were going to be £48,000 incresed to £52,000 at the absolute maximum-I built a castle & provided sales of £66,000-I was offered a position in the company not offered to GSMs with more than 10 yrs experience.The problem is you see, lots of managers worked under the I'm just another manager, the company own everything, why should I really care - This is not my asset.
Well, I took the role as a manager and a leader- an owner would. Not only was I the youngest in the company by 8 yrs - Clive (Basingstoke) great bloke, average manager. I was one of the best they'd ever had. Ruel does not , I repeat does not, phone other managers up inviting them to come to Coventry or Birmingham and rule over 3 or 4 shops. he thought I was another average manager, more interested in page 3 of The Sun, than Management John Naylor.
Well I proved one of only 3 Manager1 managers out of 50 wrong. He enjoyed it when I did prove him wrong, he seeked me out in Milton Keynes. We had the merged business meeting. There were 1,200 GSMs and all the field teams. I spent the day - the whole day with M1 managers Azeem Khan & Ruel Jansen- I'd gained genuine respect from two of the best managers in the whole company. M1s very rare this position is reserved for an extremely consistent dedicated performer.I was striving for this-M2 was offered after my £48,000 to £66,000 - my previous manager butted in and prevented the M2 from confirmation. The cleanliness and hygiene was paramount the impact - Its hard to explain the impact
My comment about interest in artcicles and the links to other articles of interest-Watch this- http://bit.ly/9ZZqQ2 every single one of them-sit there with a handbook taking high quality notes without looking at the page whatsoever. Then afterwards you'll feel like a politician who's just swept to power. You'll have knowledge power-politicians are in it for the professional responsibility- the empowering of others. The satisfaction they gain from making a difference-the neagtivity surrounding politicians ends now.They're the most ethically sound people - the people who criticise them, are jealous of their superhuman intelligence- they're shallow, if all they can do is make snide remarks-they want to actually listen understand and read books about what a politicain takes care of.
They have it coming from various angles-I will publish a graph a diagram of internal and external influences of a politicians life, and of a general store manager-there are various similarities. External influences.Social Responsibilty. i could continue-Why not look inside this book at the contents-http://amzn.to/coULce There are three references to site interest on a broad outlook PEST- SWOT - PERT Music- Sport- Photography-LinksLinksLinksLinks to other famously brilliant websites - .
They are, no we are, building communities- cyber communities - Smart companies are encoraging, rather than fighting, the heaving growth of massive online communities-many of which emerged from the fringes of the web to attract tens of millions of participants overnight. Even ardent competitors are collaborating on path-breaking scientific initiatives that accelerate discovery in their industries.
