Management is a Art Series- DAY 2- Constitution-Why it is needed and the first baby step towards creating One!!!!!



Well now that you all are acquainted with the interesting history of how constitution came into being... Now time has come that we study to to create a efficient just,workable and user friendly constitution for any company or organization ....Then??


What is a constitution for a Company or organization?????


Let’s explain this in a very simple manner, a constitution of a company or organization is simply a set of written rules or an agreement governing the aims of your organization, how it will be run and how the members will work together with a sense of justice and fairness  Because, without a written understanding, people may become confused and things may not get done; - it will act as a point of reference and help resolve any problems or controversy that may arise in present or future.

 It reassures the employees and employers ,that your professional day to day life  is properly run and for owners money,manpower,material,process and infrastructure is effectively managed, earned ,saved and ensuring an optimum quality output; - it illustrates that Company/Organization  is democratic and accountable, with clear methods by which decisions are made and the main focus here is that company cares for its employees and could like to have a symbiotic long term relationship with them.

Every constitution is different and should accurately reflect the mindset, goals, and aim of that particular company or organization, so never make the mistake of blindly copying and pasting...Each organization is different as each child in a classroom. One must understand one’s organization and customize the constitution accordingly …I say this because I have seen how Managing directors of so called companies are just twiddle Some and twiddle Dee…… And they just want to ape the brands without realizing that they are creating chaos for their own organization…

Ok!!! Now what next… Build a team that is heavily invested in the process and its outcome…

How???

Bring together, your various colorful personalities, best minds, worst minds, creative people –at your conference table …don’t forget to instruct the house keeping to supply endless cups or glasses of beverages and snacks …keep them in a good humor, first explain clearly the purpose of this brain storming meeting and what you expect from them…ask them to clear their doubts if they have any… Keeping the rules simple is also a priority….don’t complicate things and language…being too technical in languages and using jargons is an outdated technique to show your superiority…

Be Simple, sweet, humorous ,gentle but firm  …then leave them to their devises… Should leaders be at the table? Leaders are the ultimate deciders, but they may stay outside the deliberations so that they may be brought in as conflict mediators whenever the storms arise….


So we are still at the foundation and we will be slowly but steadily build up the concept of constitution, hope of enjoyed today’s blog??? Let me know… Bye, Tc see you tomorrow…
