No one operates better without feedback!
How do we know that you are a big fan of a publisher or a blogger? …Right! You must let him know, you are a big fan of his, and that you are subscribing to his blog. You can post your approval by telling him through your own social networks. By spreading the word through word of mouth and sharing his blogs to others. By making comments to his discussions over google and yahoo, etc. when you see them. Why is this important? Letting your favorite author/ publisher know that he got some followers, encourages him to do more quality blogs for you through feedback mechanisms.

Working for the Best!
Working for the Best!
When you do some work, you do not have to be a perfectionist. You only need to be at par with what can be called an excellent job. Some situations require a rocket science type of quality job. Others, a lot less. So, there is no need to use a large hammer for a small application, nor a big stick, when all you need is a toothpick. When reading a pocket book for enjoyment, you can read faster than usual. When you need to study for mastery of certain scientific principles in physics, you need to read slower perhaps, and spend more time. You may even read the same book chapter several times. Learn therefore to save your time and energy by adjusting your efforts according to what is necessary, and relevant. Don’t overdo something that doesn’t have to be. Be a good judge therefore of what kind of effort is needed for each activity you encounter. Remember, you got plenty of things to cover as a Leader, and your best may not be the solution to a problem. But, you have to do what is best for each situation.

Listen First!
Listen first!
When a person is sick and goes to see a doctor of medicine, the doctor would observe the patients vital signs, and would ask the patient what he feels, which part of the body is painful, or when the ailment was noticed to have started. The patient would tell the doctor the answers being sought, from the view point of the patient. The doctor would then make his evaluation, and only then will he make his prescriptions and suggestions on what medicine the patient should take, the dosage and what to do and not do. Similarly, we should be like a doctor when handling our kids. When we observe and see that there seems to be something wrong with our kids, based on their actions, and changes in routines, manners and grades, we should ask them what is bothering them before we make our evaluation, conclusions that they are grounded, and prescriptions or suggestions. It is not the other way around (the reversed process). You must listen to your kids first. Pure hunch or guess work is not acceptable. Verification is important, and observations validation is necessary.

Expressing that Love you may never have said so often!
(TellmeMore)
Expressing that Love you may never have said so often!
When was the last time you told your wife that you love her? When was the last time you told your kid, and your mom, and your Dad, that you love them? If that last time was too long ago, tell them now again. It is not difficult to tell them these very same words at every opportunity you got, which can be everyday. Some people know that you love them, but telling them, is nice for them to hear, and very assuring for them. In the first place, not everyone can read your mind, and some actions can have many interpretations. When we need specificity, telling is one way of going as near as what you’ve always wanted to say.

Reality!
Reality!
While a well known book indicates the benefits of being able to recognize and give importance to our fellowmen, and many men in business are aware of this, surprisingly, many among us do just the opposite. Isn’t it tantamount to committing a sin of omission, by not exercising our capability to give importance to others? Let’s keep in mind the effects of a genuine appreciation and enable people around us bring to realization their desire to be important in the real world, instead of having them live in a world of insanity.

No to "Cut and try"!
No to “cut and try”!
A change to be made, whether in business or within the family requires much thinking and much simulation. A “cut and try” method, without assessing the possible consequences, can be highly risky for a business enterprise.

Problem Solutions!
Problem Solutions!
Of great concern, is the fact that some problems could have been prevented by more careful analysis and proper planning. There are situations of this kind in many problem solutions, and when such things happen, the occurrence may infer lack of foresight and lack of quality in the process of the formulation of the solutions. Can this be improved? I think, it should be. More experienced people, on a particular problem, may see what is forthcoming, based on their knowledge on problem solving, and therefore, should be counted in, whenever available when trying to resolve a problem. Another approach is to make a more thorough evaluation of the situation, prior to finalizing a problem solution, and to consider potential problems. This process is more commonly called, potential problem analysis. It is the analysis of potential problems “just as the name correctly describes it”; and it is the institution of counter-measures for each potential concern that has been identified. Should you have concerns on this matter, you may also consult the undersigned.(email to: sanysue@lycos.com)

Human resources!
The Human resource! -Not a peripheral Function.
Commoditization of the human resource, and treating it as readily replaceable anytime would surely make the skills competency level of a workgroup inadequate, no matter how great the assurances could be from the immediate foreman. Everything has a time constant, remember!; The learning curve could never be too fast or exceptionally good all the time, particularly so, when you are constrained by your hiring rate, geographical location, benefits system, kind of organizational politics, temperament and attitudes of leaders, and prevailing culture. Striking a perfect match with the make up of an outsider, and a newcomer would not take place in so short a time, demanded by the business all the time. I hope one would appreciate at this point, why the seemingly peripheral human resource programs that are people oriented are not peripheral at all, but instead are really main stream activities to enhance the creation of a satisfactorily performing community.

Gases and Steam!
Gas and Steam flow metering!
When we are engaged in monitoring consumption or generation of gaseous materials, many people in management, or even among technical people, have the natural impulse of resorting to metering of the substance for purposes of budget monitoring and control. This in effect, results to either the purchase of sophisticated measuring facility with some computerized calculating functions for changes in the parameters on line, or inaccurate readings given by supposedly monitoring instruments that are put on line, but does not have the capability to measure instantaneous changes in parameters, like temperature and pressure.
We know for a fact that when temperature fluctuates, or when pressure does have changes, the fluid density also changes. Ordinary orifice meters and rotating-meters or displacement meters can measure volume, and mass based on fixed conditions as assumptions. These meters, in the absence of pressure and temperature corrections therefore are useful only for monitoring mass flow at fixed conditions. They become less useful and inaccurate with frequent changes in temperature and pressure over long periods , and can create confusion in the interpretation of metered data.
It is not easy to explain this to some management people. In this regard, other means of measurement have to be done in cases, where computerized systems for temperature-pressure corrections are not available. Usually, a competent operations man would measure fluid usage by indirect means, like measuring the tare-weight of containers or tare liquid level of tanks holding the gases or the water usage in the case of steam systems. These methods are far more reliable and accurate, than simply putting in the pipelines a non-correction capable meter.
Understandably, these appear crude to top management, but technically, it is more accurate. There is no sense in putting on line, a beautiful meter that will just create a confusion and a lot of inaccuracy and subsequent controversy. This explains, why you seldom see a metering device in a compressed air system, and a steam system output pipeline. If they are there, they are used more for short period experiments and tactical observation purposes, wherein temperature and pressures are monitored to be constant, but seldom used as an integrating system for a long period of measurement, unless corrective computational capability is also put in place. So, the next time you see a non-correction capable metering device in a gas or steam line, be cautious , be aware and knowledgeable of the limitations and manner of their usage or applications. An inaccurate device is no better than a seemingly crude method that provides accurate measurements.

Children and Parents!
Children and Parenting!
Children should be taught parenting. By parenting, it is meant here that children should learn how to take care of their love ones and people within their family, as well as their own child rearing. It is interesting that we don’t see much or hear much about a formal school for parenting. We even tend to believe ,because of such scarcity that there is no such thing. But parenting is learned usually, within a healthy family, where the kids are shown and modeled by daily examples, how to express their care and love for the less abled members of the family. This is the interesting part. Children, without being told learn to be loving kids, as love is being demonstrated and shown to them by everyday living, by the more senior members of the family.

What counts a lot for new supervisors/managers.
There are many things that a supervisor and a manager has to learn, in order to do and undertake his/her profession. Things like the basic functions of management of: Planning, Organizing, Leading and Controlling. Things and principles relative to the management of: people, machine, methods, materials and other resources. This is one area, wherein the theory of the man’s mind, being a “tabula raza” that evolves and develops overtime, based on experiences through the human faculties of: hearing, sight, smell, taste, and touch is supported. How a man is prepared, therefore to fit his area of responsibility and required level of performance counts a lot.

Leaders!
GrowingUp the Leaders of Tomorrow:
Insights for everyday living and Leadership preparations in business management .
Author: Sanoy C. Suerte, RME/MBM
Vol.1, November 2009
This tract is written and dedicated to young people, ages 16-40 years old, who are paving their way to become leaders and managers of business today and in the not so distant future ahead of them. People, who may have the early encounter and inclination towards the call of business as a youngster, or student and college graduates/non-graduates alike, who have decided to explore the world of business and necessarily the principles of management that go right along with it. This mini-book is only one of a series to be written in several volumes, similar to an ongoing compilation of articles, written by an author for different fora to help build a new generation of well balanced, humane oriented management and business practitioners, highly aware of the needs of the common man and society in general for sustainable development, and sound business principles. Being more of a compilation of important thoughts and philosophies than a normal standard pedagogical textual material, the series is arranged more liberally as a loose compilation of wisdom, purposely deviating from the normal logic of the common text book type of organization. May the younger generation continue to build a better society than they have found it.

The right attitude!
Developing the right attitude!
Why do people enjoy their jobs and others do not? Well, there could be many reasons behind this, and among them can be disillusionment with the system, credibility of the leaders, absence of real opportunities, health reasons, politics, friendships, adversaries , and many more. Some people are just not cut for the kind of environment that they are in at a particular time, or at the changes that are unfolding as they understand more the directions of the organization or the system. Under such conditions, one may or may not survive the job tenure and longevity, depending upon the attitude of the individual concerned. What is that ‘right’ attitude, then? It is a matched feeling towards what is happening in the system and one’s environment. When there is a mismatched situation, one can be facing to either adapt or adjust with the environment, or get out of the system outright. The determinant of this actually is the value system of the person involved. What comes to his mind as most important, and things that he believes are of great value to him at the very moment of the test will matter the most. Developing the right attitude, therefore can not be necessarily a static thing. It is highly dynamic and circumstantial. One may decide to be indifferent to certain things and to a certain extent, but when the time comes that the value system of a person is breached, some individuals just go overboard, and refuse to let go of their value system.

Planning and forecasting!
There are many techniques used in forecasting. These are covered in the area of study of Operations Research (OR) or Business Operations Optimization. Two main stream categories are commonly in use, (a)Time Series Models, and (b) the Multiple Linear Regression models.
These techniques, are useful for mathematical prediction purposes, but should not be used blindly. A good understanding of why the past demand behaved the way it did, must be understood as well, and that projections into the future, should be tempered by the possible effect of future events or business conditions, relative to the products or service being analyzed. Remember, flexibility is always part of the key for a successful business.
