Being in a role of Sales Management, I often try to figure out: what is management?
What am I managing?
It boils down to managing my time and others for the maximum profit of the company I work for. However, being responsible for getting the maximum leverage of other people's time also means what is fair and good for all the parties in question.
It makes me think like an employer, employee and a shopper.
As an employer: Am I getting my money's worth? Is this a good deal? What is the fair-compensation that maximizes my returns. Can I get a job done more efficiently by out-sourcing, or hiring more help. Will I retain my human capital? How do I feel about the decision that I make?
As a customer: How satisfied am from the purchase? Could I have negotiated a bit better. Will I want to do business with this organization and will they provide me with outstanding service?
As an employee: Is this company going to take care of me in return for my time invested with it? Am I am wasting my time working at an organization with-out a bigger picture in sight?
