1, energy dimension
Although management activities are hectic, mobile, diversified and fragmented, it is obvious that efficient managers always show abundant energy in management work.
Management is by no means a lazy person's job.
2. Anti-thinking degree
Most efficient managers are good at reflection. They know how to learn from personal experience and are good at solving problems through various methods.
Being good at reflection also implies some humility. Managers should be modest whether they know, think they know or don't know. Most management activities are hectic, so many managers need to take a step back and reflect quietly. The disorder of management work does hinder thinking, but because of this, effective managers will know how to cultivate reflective ability from such work.
3. Analysis dimension
Although it may be misleading to rely on analysis to find effective management methods, it is not much better to rely on vague intuition to find methods. Although some management gurus suggested that an effective "manager" should be an analyst first, mintzberg believed that too much emphasis on analysis in management would drive a lot of judgments out of the organization, thus causing serious dysfunction.
4. Practical dimension
What is wit? All managers work on the edge of their own world and other people's world. "Sophistication" refers to crossing these edges from time to time and entering other cultures, other organizations and other functions in your own organization. But the most important thing is to understand other people's ideas in order to go deep into your own world.
The poet Eliot has such a poem: In order to go home and know the original place, managers must explore endlessly. This is actually a sophisticated thinking.
5. Collaboration dimension
There is nothing particularly magical about the collaboration dimension. Like other dimensions, it is completely natural. Collaboration will also extend beyond the unit, to other managers of the organization and to other personnel outside the organization. Collaboration allows managers to get smooth information.
6. Forward-looking dimension
This dimension mainly emphasizes initiative. But here, mintzberg did not use the word "positive", but used the word "forward-looking". The same is to highlight the significance of "managers have the initiative". He believes that effective managers, no matter where they live and what kind of constraints they are subject to, can seize the freedom within their power and manage freely with abundant energy.
7. Integration dimension
As mentioned above, while injecting personal energy, the dimensions of anti-thinking, analysis, practice, cooperation and forward-looking need to be connected through social integration. Management means continuous integration. This also shows that in a health management organization, no matter what the external manifestations are, these dimensions can only play a role if they are intertwined coherently, and there is no magic weapon for management efficiency once and for all.
