Future of Management

Management has been around for a long time and there have been many
different styles of management created over the years. There a many different
functions of management. There are two different aspects of management there
is a manager and a leader. Leadership plays an important role in management it
provides the structure for management.

“Turns out that in an age of wrenching change and hyper-competition, the

most
valuable human capabilities are precisely those that are least manage-able.
Nerve.
Artistry. Élan. Originality. Grit. Non-conformity. Valor. Derring-do. These are
the
qualities that create value in the 21st century. Self-discipline. Economy.
Orderliness.
Rationality. Prudence. Reliability. Moderation. Fastidiousness. These are the
human
qualities modern management was designed to foster and reward. No
wonder most
organizations are less resilient and inventive than the people who
work for them.”

The future of management is far beyond anything we would have

expected years ago. Management meaning the conducting or supervising of
something. Conducting management means giving direction, management has
no set direction because it changes with each individual and how they choose
to lead. The future of management will be no different, as many different
leadership styles will arrive in the management world. Why will there be so
many different styles in the future? One reason is each leader brings there on
since of style on how they want to conduct there business or organization. The
future of management is far beyond anything we would have expected years
ago.
“The web has evolved faster than anything human beings have ever created
—largely,
because it is not a hierarchy. The web is all periphery and no center. In that
sense, it is
a direct affront to the organizational model that has predominated since the
beginnings
of human history. No wonder managers feel a little queasy when they
venture into the
far reaches of cyberspace, like space travelers who’ve arrive on a planet
where up is
down and down is up.”

There are two new tools to management that will keep growing with the
future of management. One tool is technology a manner of accomplishing a
task especially using technical processes, methods, or knowledge. The other
tool is control, which give managers the power or authority to guide or
manage. The two tools together are reasons why the future of management will
continue to grow. Managers will use technology and their control to lead
people in the future.

Leadership will play a key role to the future if we do not have good
leaders. Our future in management will not move forward to the 21st century.
We need leaders who have vision and care for the organizations as if it was
their own. The four functions of management will play have a tremendous
impact or managers and their leadership capabilities. Planning will be
something most managers who think quickly on their feet do not do. Skipping
the planning stage may hurt them in the future. Organizing is a major function
of management, being organized shows you are serious about your position.
Leaders who prepared are ready for any situation that comes their way and
have the answer to all the questions. Why are they ready because they have
done the planning stage of management? The function of controlling in
management requires not only management skills by the manager, but leaders
and managers are required to possess social and psychological knowledge of
how to deal with groups and individuals within the organization. Controlling
includes effective communication among the members of the organization. In
controlling, attitudes, perceptions, and motivations of individuals are taken into
account by the manager in order to motivate the members to work efficiently
and get the work done. Meanwhile, human resources, interpersonal relations,
and group dynamics are also concepts that need to be understood by the
manager so that if problems or conflicts ever arise within the organization, then
the manager can effectively formulate or come up with a solution that will
resolve the conflict. Controlling is best applied in decision-making processes,
such as negotiations between personnel and administration regarding a new
policy that will be implemented or proposed to the organization.

There are at least two distinct groups of managers that will be affected by this
change. Many of us BC (before computers) managers may only plan to work
 for 10 to 15 additional years, but we will face a lot of change during that time,
especially if we have failed to stay somewhat abreast of the changes that are
occurring in information use and flow. The probability that someone else will
select the dates of our retirement will also go up as we move forward in time
(McManus 2003).

The second group will be the AC (after computers) managers. They like seeing
this shift occur, as they are put off by the waste they perceive in the way
people do things in their company. Credibility is the first thing that suffers
when BC and AC managers interact if both groups are not on the same level
technologically. We will need to manage this generation gap over the next five
to 10 years if we want to have cohesive management teams (McManus 2003).
All the changes will affect many people in the future; the managers who use
technology are not fazed by the change. Leaders who are set and their ways
and do not adapt well to change never want to see what lies ahead for the
future of management. In order to be a successful manager in the future
Management will have to choose true leaders to lead their organizations.
People who want to have a future in management and have what it takes to be
a leader.
