FREE online courses on Maximum Managing People - Managing At The Top

 

If this is your predicament don't sweat it. Since you are at the top you will have executive authority. Use it to enjoy your work. Go on company work trips. Make them in exciting and vibrant places. Use the extensive perks at your disposal to have a first class stay.

 

If you have one secretary, get a personal assistant. Get them from the opposite sex if that is your cup of tea.

 

Make sure your office has a great view and is tastefully furnished. Position it far ‘from the madding crowd.' And be a good sport to those who do seek out your professional skills, advice, etc. Everyone needs a few friends.

 

Realize in a sense that you have won the ballgame. This will mitigate any bad feelings you may have. After all if you have reached the top you have beaten the odds.

 

Be serendipitous by exploring different concepts. To conceptualize well, take a trip to the countryside and relax to build your thoughts. Carry a note pad or a palm PC of course. Or go down to a local pub and hash out ideas with complete illiterates for a cross-sectional view.

 

Promote peace everywhere – both in external environments and internal ones. It is hard to do business during wars, famines and terrorist attacks. Thus good business dictates a peaceful environment unless, of course, your company benefits from upheavals.

 

Have a good nose for business.  Think like a bloodhound. If someone has repainted an office be sure you sniff this as you walk by. Keep a close eye on things.

 

Stay up to date with technology. Buy the latest cellular phones. Use video conferencing technology. Spend money on the hottest consultants. This will help your company and will not require anyone's internal assistance.

 

Buy from market leaders. If IBM is today's premier e-business solution providers then use them. Pay their rate and get the best service. If tomorrow it's Hewlett-Packard, then fire IBM and use HP.

 

Cut costs quickly and effectively. Fire people without remorse.  One manager once mentioned that “if you're going to kill someone, just pull the trigger, don't think about it.”

 

While there is no need for unnecessary intimidation, there are reasons for everything. If people require long explanations and hand holding, don't let them pull you down. Let them bury themselves.

 

Maintain few emotional attachments to people, businesses, or products. You are not making a museum. If you want to keep the memory of a loss making plant, make a corporate video, and then close the plant down. Ivory towers are for academics and lesser mortals.
