im attending a course and this may well be a question that pops up but i just cant put my finger on the answer.
If you had to give a definition of man management, what would it be?
thanks alot. www

To get an employee to better than his best by finding without him really noticing what you are doing. You look for his strengths and weaknesses you praise his strengths and suggest ways that he can improve his weaknesses this would also mean a way monitoring his work with out him feeling that he is being victimised. Each person will have have different out look on life and it is up to you to try and find just what buttons you need to press to get him or her to excel

In my job during promotion boards etc we are always getting asked what we think our weakness is, the thing our bosses like to hear is that any weakness you have can and is turned into a strength so isnt a weakness.............make sense?

In summary, the aim of military man-management is to set the
conditions in which soldiers will give their best to achieve the
common purpose. In turn by ensuring that the best is made of
the different ability and personality of every soldier, good
man-management creates the conditions for effective
leadership.

Found the above quote here:

I imagine that these principles could apply to almost any organization.

"Are you a Man or a mouse?" Said the DL to the recruit.

"A MAN Sgt" The recruit replied.

"Then prove the First Drill wrong and see if you can MANAGE to keep in step with the rest of the Troop then!"

The reason this movement is taught, is to enable an individual,
or a body of men, to pay the correct compliments to an Officer when passing.
