What is effective management
The study of control systems in nature and society has shown that the effective management of complex systems is based on a fundamental set of cybernetic and systemic principles.
All organisations can be understood as complex systems regardless of whether they are in the profit or non-profit, public or private sectors and whatever their purpose may be.
Operational activities and cultural traditions may differ but the fundamental principles of effective management in organisations remain the same everywhere.
The Malik Management Zentrum St. Gallen has over 30 years of experience in the practical application of the principles of right and good management as educators and consultants to a wide variety of organisations.
Management is a profession which like other professions has four main elements: tasks, tools, principles and responsibilities. It is not personal characteristics which make managers effective; as in other professions, it is what managers do and their skill with management tools that determines their effectiveness.
This understanding of management as a profession means that it can be learned by a wide variety of people. The programme "Management & Leadership: Management as a Profession" provides a proven foundation for the development of professional and effective managers.
The management wheel shows the tasks and tools which are necessary and sufficient for effective managers in all kinds of organisations, everywhere.
