A manager copes with
an unpredictable future
The following article was written by Dr.
William Boast, president of SYN COM Ltd..
Denver based management advisory and
training company. Before forming his ay. n
firm, Boast served 11 years as academic dean
for Denver Community College. The article
appeared in Feedstuffs May 28. 1984.
Many centuries ago a Persian emperor
offered a fortune to any philosopher who
could write one sentence that would apply to
every day of his reign. The philosopher who
won the mire wrote this sentence
"This too shall pass "
And so it is in America today
We are headed for a period of extreme and
radical change. We are entering a time when
no one is going to know what's coming next.
What people don't realize is that we have
just come out of the longest period of
economic stability and growth the world has
ever known. People who grew up in it think it
was normal. But it wasn't What's normal is
what we're going into now radical change.
unpredictability. turmoil
Let me illustrate my point Do you know
that the Golden Age of Greece lasted about 40
years in a town of about 30.000 people? That
was it. The Italian Renaissance lasted about
40 or 50 years in northern Italy. You go down
through history and you'll find the periods of
stability were always very short-lived. The
troubled times have always lasted longer.
One of the most dangerous things we do is
we begin to expect things to go on the way
they are. But they won't So we're tempted to
try to make things stay the same. That's all
communism is: an attempt to design a world
without change And that's why communism
doesn't work.
5o now we're coming out of this great
period of economic growth and stability.
We're entering what could well be a long
period of change and crisis. You'll want to
know: is that good or had? The answer is
The ancient Chinese had the most
wonderful way of writing the word "crisis".
They took the symbol for the word "danger"
and the symbol for the word "opportunity"
and put them together. And that's exactly
what every one of you people face: danger
and opportunity.
That might frighten you. but it shouldn't.
Ager all. if we didn't have change -- if
everything was nice and predictable •- we
wouldn't have a free enterprise system.
Change -- unpredictability -- is what makes
the whole thing possible.
Our problem is learninf to function • to
manage •• in a world that s changing faster
and faster. ar.J where the changes arc not
easily predictable.
The problems aren't going to gel easier or
fewer. You can be pretty certain you're going
to have more problems this year than you had
last year. The ability to handle those
problems is called management The in•
ability to handle them is called bankruptcy.
That's about it.
In his book on management. J. Paul Getty
says, "In times of rapid change. experience is
your worst enemy." Policies. procedures.
programs. goals •• those things are all based
on experience.
Please note: These are not methods. these
are characteristics. This is not a "how. to",
it's a "who -to".
First characteristic' You are act ton
centered. not planning -centered. Realize I'm
not saying you don't use plans. I'm saying
you use plans to support your actions. not the
other way around. Action -centered means
you stick with your plans as king as they're
working. When they stop working. you
change them.
Second characteristic: You do not have a
set of goals. You concentrate on one major
emphasis at a time. and everybody from the
president to the janitor knows what it is
Everybody works on it until they achieve it.
then they go on to the next one.
Third characteristic: You are comfortable
m conditions of confusion. ambiguity and
disorder. M other words. you're adaptable.
Fourth Characteristic: You're inconsistent.
Some of the biggest losers we've found in the
corporate world are people who are rigidly
consistent. You're what 1 can "productively
inconsistent". You know when to dictate and
when to seek consensus. You solve a problem
one way today. and a similar problem another
way tomorrow. You have a feel for the right
approach. and you follow it.
Fifth characteristic: You can withhold
judgment- You can suspend closure on a topic
when a problem comes up. You can keep your
mouth shut and look longer than other people
do before you make your decision.
Sixth characteristic: You have high energy.
You can 0. 60 or 70 hours a week, and if
you're enjoying it. it's easy. You don't get
burned out.
Seventh characteristic: You have high
self-confidence. You aren't afraid of the
consequences of your own actions. Yon know
that whatever results from your actions
today. you can handle it tomorrow.
ENTERTAINMENT
THE HURON EXPOSITOR, AUGUST 1, 1984 — A19
Ice-cream social held
for Huronview residents
Monday morning activites at Huronview
included cards, games and crafts. One of our
recent creative ideas, is the making of fans
from bristol board.
in the afternoon, an 'ice cream social' was
held. The idea was to take your dish of ice
cream, and decorate it however you wished,
whether it be a sundae, a banana split or
whatever.
It was a beautiful day Wednesday, for all
the events that took place. First off, the men
from Men's Floor were treated to their noon
meal off hanlburgs and hot dogs.
Special Care folk went outside for their
social hour, and took part in the program
planned for them.
Ladies from Second Floor visited Sloman,
Park, where the old trail coach that served
as a schoolhouse of some years earlier, now
stands.
A number of residents went to Goderich in
the morning to spend the time shopping, and
while there, decided to have lunch, before
returning in the afternoon.
The weather wasn't,co-operating too well
on'Thur'sday, so the barbecue planned for
residents in the South Wing was postponed
till another time,
Ed Stiles from Goderich was at Huronview
in the afternoon, and entertained residents
as he played numerous selections on the
chapel organ.
Everyone was getting excited in anticipa-
tion of the staff baseball game, to have been
played Friday afternoon however it had to be
cancelled due to the change in the weather.
instead of the game, residents took part in a
few rounds of bingo.
Sunday morning worship was run by Rev.
Cheryl -Ann Stadelbauer-Sampa. Rev. Pick,
having returned from holidays will be with
us next week.
During the service, Margaret McQueen
sang a solo.
We would like to extend a warm welcome
to. Robert Harry Adams from Goderich.
Louis Elgin Taylor from Varna and Edith
Elizabeth Pickard of Clinton who have come
to reside at Huronview,
To the family of the late Mr. Graham. we
express our sincere sympathy.
