LESSON OVERVIEW
This chapter introduces the students with the basic concepts of the human resource management (HRM). During the chapter, we will be discussing the three main things, i.e. the introduction to HRM, the importance of HRM, and a brief discussion of the topics that will follow today’s lecture.
A basic concept of management states that manager works in organizations. Organization has three basic components, People, Purpose, and Structure. HRM is the study of activates regarding people working in an organization. It is a managerial function that tries to match an organization’s needs to the skills and abilities of its employees. Let’s see what is meant by the three key terms… human, resource, and management.
- Human (Homo-sapiens – Social Animal)
- Resources (Human, Physical, Financial, Technical, Informational etc)
- Management (Function of Planning, Organizing, Leading & Controlling of organizational resources to accomplish goals efficiently and effectively)
The One Minute Manager
The One Minute Manager reveals three secrets to productive and efficient managing as told through a young man’s search for the perfect managing and leading skills. The One Minute Manager is focused on, not surprisingly, a one minute manager. The man is a venerable leader that is highly spoken of by his employees, his three secrets being the key to his success.
The first secret is One Minute Goals. This involves a meeting of the manager and the employee where goals are agreed on, written down in a brief statement, and occasionally reviewed to ensure that productivity is occurring. This whole process takes a “minute”, which truly means it is a quick meeting, however it is not limited to just sixty seconds. The purpose of one minute goal setting is to confirm that responsibilities of each working is understood, understanding that confusion leads to inefficiency and discouragement.
The second secret to one minute managing is one minute praisings. This involves being open with people about their performance. When you catch someone doing something right, a goal of the one minute manager, you praise them immediately, telling them specifically what they did correctly. Pause to allow them to “feel” how good you feel regarding their importance to the organization, and finish by shaking hands.
