Why Management by Consciousness?
The old
traditional ways of managing
not longer work and will never work again. The old management practice has
been erected on the assumption of human limitations as a basis for
organizing.
In the
new era of world development the key
components of the management paradigm has become vision
lending much-needed boundaries of organizations to evolve, values and
beliefs deeply implemented in the nature of
organizational culture
and human skills of the manager himself. The question is: how can one
motivate
people, reach out for the company development and be an
effective leader without being a
leader to oneself?

What is Management by Consciousness?
The concept of
Management by Consciousness, like such concepts and philosophies as
Kaizen
,
Integral Yoga,
Buddhism, Zen,
Confucianism &
Taoism, has come from the
East. It argues that there can be no planning, no productivity, no
management or sunrise of universal wellbeing without the readiness of the
people to work with a sense of common aims, a perceived sense of common
direction and a converging feeling of total dedication and higher
consciousness. The central idea – is
Self and
Self-management as an essential step to the new management era.
The Consciousness approach includes:
Aspiration.
All the decisions should be taken with
intense aspiration, deepest devotion and perfect objectivity. The choice
based on inner being will determine the externalities to achieve the goal
Concentration.
By concentration one can peep into oneself inner being and discover its
fullness and beauty. To reach the right solution one must retire for a while
in perfect peaceful silence when he can identify with the problems, search
for alternatives and reach the solutions. Use the
“Room of silence”.
Self-Introspection.
The main principle is: SEARCH YOURSELF FIRST. The best protection from
conflicts and tense
building relationships
with
people is a sincere
examination of your inner world. Consult your consciousness and apply
objectivity to it. Develop the golden attitude: Others can be right and I
can be wrong!
Three Steps to Management
by Consciousness
1. Formulating attitude to business
2. Humanizing the organization
3. Interiorizing the management
Attitude to business.
While planning for the business and processing its operations one should
define his/her own attitude to business. One should answer the question:
What kind of values prevail in my attitude to organization (individual
or organizational)?

Humanizing the organization.
We are living in a changing, faster-paced, more perplexing world – one in
which educational backgrounds, needs, desires and attitudes to work have
changed. Changing the ways that you work with people of your workplace and
establishing a
new people partnership
environment will take time, patience and commitment to make the shift that
is needed in this key element of your new management model. But making that
shift is worth the trouble that's involved.

Interiorizing the management.
Modern
management paradigm is an exercise in harmonizing men, material and
methods towards the fulfillment of goals leading to human development,
social benefit and global welfare. In such circumstances MAN and
people relations have become the basis of management scheme. Man has
high potential for superlative performance. The deal is to open that
potential. How one can do it?

Each of us is a complex entity. The difficulty
arises because each part wants to affirm itself without regard to the claims
of the others. To coordinate and harmonize different pulls in ourselves is a
must for the enduring success. This is the essence of self-management.
Brain-storming vs.
Brain-stilling
Brainstorming
is a scheme of loud-thinking amongst experts to find a
creative
solution to a problem.

But right and rational decisions cannot be taken in a state of turmoil when
mind are overtaken by “heat”.
Brain-storming
is a best system for discovering alternatives. And
brain-stilling – is a optimum
scheme for choosing the decision from the variants suggested. Still
your mind first, listening to the silence around (for example, in the “Room
of silence”) then try to find the same silence inside you. Try to
concentrate on your heart beating, exscinding all the outer sounds. Or
listen to your breath – try to follow each flow of air with all your
attention. This is a practice of
meditation and
Integral Yoga. |
