The Ten Commandments Of Management

Christians are called to respect and care about all people; managers are, too. This is the underlying philosophy of The Ten Commandments of Management. Using proven business models mixed with appropriate Biblical references, this book provides the ten things managers need to know how to do. Following these commandments will make you a more successful manager and those who report to you more effective, productive and successful, as well. What could be better than achieving a win/win outcome in your business? Sometimes this means moving people out of the wrong job, sometimes it means offering a hand up.

A 2014 Gallup poll indicates that the persons chosen by corporations for management positions are unsuccessful 82% of the time. The reasons for this high degree of failure have been attributed to multiple areas. One is the method in which the person is selected, since we often reward good performances with promotions to management. Another is the environment in which a person must manage, such as high stress, employee hostility, and even apathetic uninvolvement by both staff and management. The one area receiving the smallest amount of attention is with training. Most employers point to the plethora of management training courses offered in-house and online. Their assumption is that every facet of management must be covered in the curriculum that is offered. However, most don't realize that there are two basic components required for success; the tasks a manager performs and the way a manager behaves. The available management courses cover the tasks quite well and in detail. But, management behaviors are addressed, at best, only obliquely. The Ten Commandments of Management describes the ten essential behaviors that are required to be a successful manager in business. These make up such an important component of management that the omission of any one behavior can impede a career, or destine it to failure.

“After a lifetime in business, I’ve never been able to develop a set of rules or a step-by-step formula that will guarantee success in anything, much less in a field as dynamic and changing as business. What I can do, however, is talk about how to lose. I guarantee that anyone who follows my formula will be a highly successful loser.” The Ten Commandments for Business Failure is a lighthearted cautionary bible for leaders from a hugely admired elder statesman who is sought out for advice by a wide circle of luminaries. Plenty of speakers and writers are happy to dispense advice on how to succeed in business. From football coaches to ex-CEOs to psychologists to preachers, success gurus are everywhere. But none of them can offer any guarantees; the true path to success can’t be laid out as a simple step-by-step plan. The same cannot be said of failure, however. Failure is easy. In fact, there are ten serious blunders companies and individuals make over and over again, leading to failure so consistently that the list ought to be written in stone. Don Keough, who has seen and heard a lot in his six decade career, calls them his Ten Commandments for Business Failure. They include such reliable bad advice as Quit Taking Risks, Be Inflexible, Assume Infallibility, Put All Your Faith in Experts, and Be Afraid of the Future.
