FAILING TO LISTEN

The successful interviewee reads the interviewer's tone and gestures and responds accordingly. This means paying attention, and knowing when to continue, change direction, or stop talking. Avoid potentially controversial and overly personal issues.

When you see their attention lagging, change the topic or, better yet, ask a question. Don't get carried away with the sound of your own voice. Pay attention to the interviewer's questions and line of conversation. Bear in mind that what they want to hear is more important than what you may want to say.

LOSING YOUR COOL

If you are being interviewed for a high-level or high-pressure position, you may be subjected to a pressure interview. This can take the form of making you wait, having the interview interrupted (once or several times), inappropriate conversation or questions, and even rudeness or hostility. Most likely, you will never be subjected to such tactics, although some unpleasant situations (especially being kept waiting) can arise without intent.

The trick is to know yourself, your tolerance, and what you're willing to put up with. If you react, do so with control and resolve, so that you won't regret your behavior afterward. It's a matter of personal temperament and values and perhaps how badly you want the job.

BLOWING THE NEGOTIATION

If you get the offer, at some point you will have to negotiate your compensation package and any other benefits. Make sure that the terms of your employment, including responsibilities, reviews, and related conditions are defined and that you have a clear idea of what is expected of you. Don't commit yourself to a salary or conditions that will make you unhappy.

Remember, once you have accepted specific terms, it will be difficult, if not impossible, to amend them. So prepare yourself to negotiate wisely on your own behalf.

WHO WOULD YOU RATHER WORK FOR?

Women are more efficient and trustworthy, have a better understanding of their workforce and are more generous with their praise. In short they make the best managers, and if men are to keep up they will have to start learning from their female counterparts, a report claims today. The survey of 1,000 male and female middle and senior managers from across the UK is an indictment of the ability of men to function as leaders in the modern workplace.

A majority of those questioned believed women had a more modern outlook on their profession and were more open minded and considerate. By way of contrast, a

41

similar number believe male managers are egocentric and more likely to steal credit for work done by others.

Management Today magazine, which conducted the research, said that after years of having to adopt a masculine identity and hide their emotions and natural behavior in the workplace, women have become role models for managers.

The findings tally with a survey of female bosses carried out in the US. A fiveyear study of 2,500 managers from 450 firms found that many male bosses were rated by their staff of both sexes to be self-obsessed and autocratic. Women on the other hand leave men in the starting blocks when it comes to teamwork and communicating with staff.

In Britain more than 61% of those surveyed said men did not make better bosses than women. Female managers use time more effectively, with many of those surveyed commenting that juggling commitments is a familiar practice for women with a home and a family.

Female managers also appear to make good financial sense for penny-pinching companies: most people, of either sex, would rather ask for a rise from a man.

“If men want to be successful at work they must behave more like women,” said the magazine's editor, Rufus Olins. “Businesses need to wake up to the fact that so-called feminine skills are vital for attracting and keeping the right people. In the past women who aspired to management were encouraged to be more manly. It looks now as if the boot is on the other foot.”

PRODUCTIVITY IS EFFICIENCY

Productivity indicates the efficiency with which goods and services are being produced. Most often it is measured by the amount of output that results from a given amount of input. It deals with the efficiency with which a firm uses its factors of production in turning out goods and services.

Creator productivity should result in a better product to be sold at lower prices, which should stimulate demand. This should increase the number of jobs available and their rates of pay. It also should enable firms to compete more successfully with other firms in this country and abroad. Increases in productivity come from more efficient use of the factors of production - natural resources, labor, management, and capital goods.

If a firm's productivity is not rising as fast as that of other firms, it will not be able to compete successfully. It will either have to raise prices or lower quality, either of which would lower sales. Employee layoffs would be the next step unless productivity can be raised.

It is the increase in productivity that provides the basis for increased wages and salaries for employees. If a firm's productivity does not increase, a raise for its workers can only come from lowering the profit level or raising prices. In most situations like this, a firm is likely to raise its prices. If it does, customers may buy fewer of its products.

The work force then may have to be reduced. If most companies respond to lessened productivity by rising prices, this can be an inflationary force in the economy.

42

Therefore, everyone – management, workers, and customers - all gain from increases in productivity. One of the factors contributing to inflation in 1974 and 1975 was the slight decline in productivity while wages and salaries were rising about 10 percent. This, coupled with higher costs for materials and parts, forced prices even higher and added to the inflation problem.

POINT AND COUNTERPOINT: THE IMPORTANCE OF MANAGERS

The thought of being a boss someday is a glamorous thought for most people. After all, the manager has a nicer office than most workers and has a key to the executive washroom. If things go wrong, he can always find one or two subordinates to blame. On the other hand, if things go very well, he can stand up and take credit for being the captain of his ship. One can reason that management is very much like coaching. No matter how good or bad a coach you are, the ultimate success or failure of the team will depend on the abilities of the players. Being a good coach is knowing how to best orchestrate the talent of the team; and if the team has very little talent, the best coach in the world is not going to come out with a winning season.

Therefore, to believe this line of reasoning, almost anyone who gets the job can succeed. The trick is to get the position in the first place. Once one obtains a management position, he can learn on everyone around him; and if they have the ability, he will succeed. The possible exception to this theory would be someone in an area like sales management. In such a field, if sales don't rise, your managerial star begins to fall.

Even if you don't do well as a manager, if you are lucky enough to work for a fairly large firm, they will "kick you upstairs". This usually means that you are placed in a staff position, one in which you can do little harm to the firm's operations. Being kicked upstairs usually means a salary increase and a new, more impressive title, so you are that much better off than before. And now you have a lot less responsibility.

Most experienced managers will say that all of the above reasoning is pure bunk. Take the idea of a good coach or bad coach as an example. It is true that a good coach with a bad team will probably never have a winning season, but such a coach will probably have a much better season than a bad coach with a bad team.

A good manager, like a good coach, is someone with the training, experience, and know-how to make the best out of whatever combination of resources he has to work with. Because this is the ultimate challenge to managers, being a successful manager is one of the most difficult jobs.

Even experienced managers admit that unsuccessful colleagues often get kicked upstairs to be exiled out of operations. Inwardly, however, these people are disappointed and depressed because money and title are not enough to overshadow their inadequacies as management personnel. In fact, being kicked upstairs is a severe punishment to the sensitive individual because he recognizes his failure and knows that his fellow workers recognize it as well. Furthermore, he must continue to face these people day after day, and this is not an easy situation to adjust to.
