Human Management aims to leverage self-awareness and humanity on our daily management decisions
Principles
Human Management is aimed at igniting change.
Management is part of everyone’s daily lives
and should be embraced as one of the most important tasks we have.
Most of the times we’re just managing ourselves,
but more often than not, we have to manage other people.
Human Managers should strive to be humans while managing and be managed as humans.
Concepts
Management Bugs are problems, causes or impacts in a human manager's decision which produces an incorrect or unexpected result. This concept originated the creation of a database to collect them, and the search for techniques to apply them.
Management Fixes are actionable solutions for problems, with pros and cons, to be evaluated by human managers. This concept originated the creation of a database to collect them, and the search for techniques to apply them.
Problem Mapping is a technique used to understand thoroughly a problem before coming up with solutions, and, of course, a deck of MngtBug and MngtFix cards could leverage its application. It is best used to perform team and organizational diagnostics to guarantee stakeholder involvement in the definition of the problems and solutions.
