The Holistic Management

The very fact that we can tell the organization´s hard side from the soft one and acknowledge their respective specifics does not mean we are able to integrate them so that they can form one synergically acting whole. Noway. In fact, it is often even the opposite: by eliminating human specifics we try to adapt the organization´s soft side to its hard side. This practice creates some sort of an organizational cripple, one whose chances to establish itself in competition with sound organizations - products of the holistic management - are relatively little.

A story to make sense of the crisis

An appetite for easy earning may cause all of our resources and reserves to run out. What initially looks like a clear income may easily get lost, if we forget about what really generates value for life and society.

„How are you managing?“

In Moravia, this is the question with which you tend to approach a good friend. Translated, it means something like „how are you doing, how are you, how is life or how successful are you?“ Even a nonspecialist might grasp how many highly technical points drawn from the sphere of systems and management are encoded in this seemingly plain phrase.

Piracy punished ...

It is generally acknowledged that ignoring the good manners is not usually worth while. Piracy, as a demonstration of ruthless greed, is without doubt in contradiction with the good manners.

Void of vision and strategy equals bad business

Most entrepreneurs begin their career with an idea that they think they can make enough money on. Such an idea is, initially, of the essence, but does every entrepreneur have a similar idea ( or vision) up the sleeve for the coming years?

Making impossible happen – mediation

When we cannot cope with disputes, being unable to resolve them, we have a problem. Communication between the disputing parties deteriorates, emotions are taken to the extremes, there is an atmosphere of conflict – regardless of wheter it happens in the workplace or in private. Mediation is a well-tested method of resolving conflicts in a cultivated manner.

Being at a loss how to resolve an issue? Mediation can do it for you.

Mediation is a method how to resolve conflicts quickly and in a cultivated manner, as assisted by a mediator who inspires both the disputing parties to find a mutually acceptable solution. Up to 60% of labor, trade and family disputes in the USA are being resolved through mediation.

Agreement possible? Yes – in two cases out of three!

A cardinal argument for mediation is the number of disputes this intelligent mode of discussing conflicts has lately helped to resolve abroad.

How a mediator works

Helping to settle other people´s disputes is a no simple task. The disputing parties themselves do not know how to proceed further. A mediator, however, must know how to cope and help those parties in finding new alternative solutions.

Which disputes are fit to be settled through mediation

It is never late to begin searching for the solution to a problem or the settlement of a dispute. All it takes is a bit of good will and, for instance, inviting a mediator. Further in this paragraph, you will learn the kinds of disputes that a mediator can settle, and where mediation is put to work most frequently.

How managerial skills and games impact the development of the company´s elite

Any business that is being built rationally, that wants to prosper in the long term, invariably, in their strategic vision, puts the following target first - creation of the company´s (corporate) elite. The reason is simple: if the elite wants to do business, they have to live and create in an organized manner, utilizing both internal and external resources and, last but not least, forming a rigid organizational structure on which to build up processes as the next stage.

Do we need satisfied employees?

Today’s competitiveness is not dependent only on state-of-the-art technology, which becomes obsolete fairly quickly, but particularly on human potential; humans are able not only to effectively use this technology, but also continuously enhance and improve it.

Intuition in life and management

Personal accountability has the greatest value for cooperation and partnership. People set their own names as a guarantee of their pledges and acts. For this the only thing they need is sufficient practical knowledge and to really do whatever they promise to the other party. This is the condition necessary for mutual cooperation; but it does not suffice for the development of a company or corporation. Development requires creativeness, will, perseverance, humility, and intuition. All these characteristics are necessary for improvement and subsequent development. Intuition - as one of the needed properties - gives us a direction, and shows us which way we should take to incur minimum losses.
