11) MANAGING BY STUDYING
Despite their continual attendances of all kind of studies
and congresses, they still belong to category 5. The
longer they learn, the further they get from the practice.
12) MANAGING BY CREATING VAGUE OVERHEAD SHEETS
Do you know them? Those sheets with some big arrows, boxes
or circles? These sheets provide the ultimate proof of
their overall brilliance.
13) MANAGING BY OPEN DOOR AND EMPTY ROOM
This is a major improvement of the older 'OPEN DOOR'
management style. Now you can really walk in and out anytime
you want. Nobody ever knows where these managers are.
14) MANAGING BY SPEAKING WITH OTHER MANAGERS
This kind of managing is very popular. It will give
them within a few hours the same information as an
employee can tell them in 15 minutes.
15) MANAGING BY HAVING A NON SUPPORTING INFRASTRUCTURE
In an organization with a hopeless infrastructure,
managers are really necessary. These managers will
naturally prevent the organization from having a better
infrastructure.
16) BUA MANAGEMENT ( BY USING ABBREVIATIONS )
This management style is ATRASACWOC. ( Adopted To Reach
A Shorter And Clearer Way Of Communication )
17) MANAGING BY USING BUZZ WORDS
These managers like to bluff your head off with hip,
nearly undefined, terms.
18) MANAGING BY REORGANIZATION
If they think there is nothing more to organize, they
reorganize.
19) MANAGING BY BELIEVING
These managers must be spiritual educated, because they
have no clues at all.
20) MANAGING BY FORGETTING PROMISES
If you remind them to one of their promises, the priority
of that promise is to low to remember.Leave a comment:

Does your manager fit into one of these categories?
Does your manager fit into one of these categories?
1) MANAGING BY WALKING FASTER THAN THE EMPLOYEES
These kind of managers you will always see in the
corridor, ten steps away. "We'll have to talk" you can
hear them say, just as they have disappeared around
the corner.
2) MANAGING BY STARING OUT OF THE WINDOW
These managers you usually meet with their backside faced
to you with their hands in their pockets. When you talk to
them, their thoughts keep staring out of the windows.
3) MANAGING BY POST-IT'S
Some managers forget everything. They want to impress you
with their 'busy'ness by continuously writing on Post-it's
while you are talking.
4) MANAGING BY DELEGATION TO THE SECRETARY
These managers just delegate everything to the secretary.
If he is good, He knows what she must do.
5) MANAGING BY KNOWING NOTHING
These managers don't really know anything at all. They let
YOU give answers. Meanwhile they fill the time with nice
anecdotes of irrelevant cases.
6) MANAGING BY CONCEPTUAL THINKING
These people try to explain the present from a theoretical
view of the far future. The idea that this never will work,
completely satisfies them: They will always have something
to talk about.
7) MANAGING BY HIDING INFORMATION
Information hiders are aware of the market value of strictly
secret kept information. You must be very thankful to get any
information at all. Beware of simulants from category 5!
8) MANAGING BY DOING EXACTLY WHAT THE BOSS SAYS
These managers prevent their bosses from creative thinking.
Else they got more work to do.
9) MANAGING BY WALKING ONE FOOT BEHIND THE BOSS
In hierarchical organizations you can watch those groups
walking in the corridor. The more equal managers are directly
followed by the lesser equal managers, and so on.
10) MANAGING BY SMILING AND WEARING NICE SUITS
If you drink beer with them, lunch with them, smile to them
and also wear nice suits, nothing can stop your career
anymore.
