Dr.Ichak Adizes, one of the world’s leading experts on improving the performance of business and government through fundamental change en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adizes , has published his critique to modern system of business education.
Look at the picture: I illustrated the behevioral result of mixture management education with real human behaviour.

"Contemporary General Management Education: A Critique

The following paper is based on forty years of consulting to corporations world wide, plus experience as a faculty member teaching at business schools at UCLA, Stanford, Columbia, Tel Aviv and Hebrew U, as well as giving visiting lectures in universities where I have been awarded fifteen honorary doctorates.

Summary:

Based on my experience, it appears to me that management education is failing to train those women and men who are relied upon to integrate all functions of management i.e. general managers.

Management education today is focused almost exclusively on functional disciplines. The integration is left to the business school graduates who have to learn the ropes by themselves, on the firing line. Not easy. Not right either.

Furthermore, our focus in training and developing future leaders is on INDIVIDUALS  and my experience is that such an individual who can perform  all the relevant tasks  does not and can not exist.

Our training is culturally biased  in favor of individualism and competitiveness, rather than collaboration, which is what is needed.

We  are not just failing in the United States and Europe.  We are now spreading this failure worldwide by opening business schools wherever there appears to be a market, causing collateral socio-political damage.

1.0 The Role of Management

Before describing and analyzing where we are failing, let me first define what management  (or leadership) is about, as I see it. ..."

Dr.Adizes described one by one what exectly is wrong in The Role of Management, Decision Making, The Ideal Executive, Management as a complementary team, How we Handle Conflict, Biased Reward System and others important points of modern business strategy comes from the education.

So modern management focuses on things not so good in long run, focuses on an Ideal figure which doesn`t exists from one hand, and allowes unconsciousness human behaviour leads in too much competitive style from the other hand. That`s why many organization has unharnessed conflicts being unable to extract an essential part of a conflict. The extremal result of such management style illustrates by my triptych "Organization without Trust and Respect" (you can see it full size in my Gallery 2013 annamain.org/site/art_galery_2013/  ).

Why I attend to different seminars and conferencies? Because things I am doing is completely new and modern so I want to keep in touch with modern technical and social processes to feel how our Time runs and so represents it in my painting. This is one of the tastks of Art to represent the mainstream and undergraund of the time an artist witnesses. Also I strongly remember my first hight education in Physics that`s why I am interesting in fresh science, especially applied to practice and methods of analysis.

At the second part of the seminar I was excited having proves the way I choose in Arts is completely right. It is always pleasant because my intuition rules good and then it proves scientifically.

After the seminar I met most people involved, from the USABILITY Lab professionals to CEO of commercial companies and App Developers. That`s so good to keep in touch because as I learnt from life our Earth is really narrow place so every person I know in fields I interesting in is a good chance to make connections and so keep in touch. People with active life position who allplies their ideas to the world, professionals are the best company to nourish each others with new information and ideas.

So I am glad about everything and will keep in touch with USABILITY Lab.

We all know that mistakes is not so good things when the time to pay comes. However looking backward we usually make a new mistake, a special one: to judge previous choices by knowledge we get from it.

Such mistake is the one which grabbes our energy, devaluates our seaching experience. Sometimes it is used by society to harness us by artificial perfectionism in order to stop our attempts and control us. This is the subject important to understand because life is changes, changes requires to make attempts and each attempt has own risk.

Should we stop in yesterday-safe or make steps forward?

Should we listen to judges or be the worst judge to ourselves?

This is the dilemma everyone get during life movements. Of course stupid mistakes like being addictive from tabacco or another chemicals still exists. But nobody needs to judge it because it rather simple, common and so non prospective to exploration.

Typically the worst judgement concerns unusual things we just try to handle or to experience. That`s why we need a good philosophy covers our back and made us strong enough to turn any decision, any situation and life experience to good, progressive result.

I made such useful philosophy to myself as a combination of my analytical possibilities, curiosity and my best credo. It is important to have such philosophy tha same way as companies payes huge amounts to developers to invent corporate mission etc. That`s why every active person once stands on the front of that task: to form own strategy to understand what mistakes is and how to live more effective and efficient in short and long run.

New article by Dr.Ichak Adizes " There Are No Mistakes" here www.ichakadizes.com/there-are-no-mistakes/  . I love the way he think about and agree with that article.
In addition an interesting concept to enrich understanding how things could be arranged: In Hinduism it`s a concept that God wants people to play some roles in His lila (screenplay of life). Sometimes the best consciousness people only suits for a special role, such as the role of God`s parents. That people usually totally cinsciousness and so don`t want to be involved in such play (usually parents of God have many  troubles and risks). Then God expand his illusion energy and made people forget their consciousness. So they forget troubles and make the decision to play required roles by own will. Sometimes we do the same and the next step after it is to realize what exectly we gain from our game, may be what God wants us to play. This is the good result, every time good.

Being a lecturer in several institutes for a long time I am used to to measure an year as a two semesters (September-December and January-June) with 2-month gap between. So today I remember about my Corfu "gap" before the New Institute Year starts.

Memory is not simple thing. Billions connections between neurons forms neuronetwork unique to each person. So things deeply toughtful for one could be indifferent to another person because of different associations involved. Artists have a secret tool to play with neuronetworks, own and even observer`s. Just ttry to make an image…

...in appropriate invironment…

Let the image represents something people could compare with own experience…

And let it be.

Hre is my Office Rock, the best place in the world. I am far away from it now and the New semester`s coming, also the winter becames closer with white dead water called snow. It will be sooner as I want it so I have to keep my memory touching green waters by images:

Even jump in cool green emerald!

And see how green waters move, moves, moves.

Hello everybody, today I would like to present  the hidden part of my projectwork. I increased total amount of projects from 2 in April to 8 now so it`s my special technigue to support all of it carefully.

Now then it`s needs strong support to keep all details, to develop projects because everyone has own stage of develop, different from another. Also it needs to make a special media to keep process of mental planing, experiments, also production and to everything perfectly in right time.

Right time is really important thing. I read how professional gerdeners plan a garden: they seed plants in order every plant has own time to blossom so they put it into garden in right order. When one type of plants blossoms anothers just start to green; later it begins blossom and so on, and so on. So a garden has a perfect changes with blossoms and colours without mass and gaps.

My project work is exectly the same. I seed and plant ideas carefully the same way as gardeners do, because I am a professional thinker good  trained to arrange mental processes. It helps because this is the differencies between gardening and ideas. In gardening they use predictable plants but in mental field many things is flexible, unpredictable in time of seeding and blossoming and fruitage too.

That`s why I invented several special features to support my processes in correct way.

One of the tools is to keep all ideas before my eyes especially in relaxing places, such as kitchen. It was important because usually I do short tea ceremony in my kitchen so… my fridge was the first tool to control how the production process goes on. I started to use it during CyberWar-I, in April 2013.

I still have that marks on the fridge although projects growth quicker and actually this is no free place on the fridge to make more notes. That`s why I put my new small whiteboard in the kitchen the place I can see at every moment from my tea place . Because the system I want to do is a new one, rather complicated, so when I browse around the whiteboard and have an idea I can write it immideately.

One of the tasks about that whiteboard was to make it visible from every point of view, available to make every mark and also very attractive just to browse by eyes about it in order to turn brain work. I gained all purposes. Actually it was a pleasure to decorate it according to Feng Shui en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feng_shui principles.

For today the small whiteboard is full of marks and texts so in that picture you can see how it look?? at the beginning. Sometimes I use the table as well using iPod and iPhone to make MindMaps and planing, for reading matherials etc.

When I saw the process of project work goes wery well with such a good tool as whiteboard I bought a bigger one to my cabinet. On the picture you can see it on the first day of use. Now my Big whiteboard is nearly full of marks. It`s an interesting dinamic to see how it contains with notes and marks. So I started to make notes on a big papers and use magnets to put it on the big whiteboard. So I have no needs to clean important things out of it just because of shortage of space.

Well, I love my new surrounding!

It works exellent to support everything I want to do, it allows me to do much more in more short time, effective and efficient in short and long run both. That`s why I am happy to run around my whiteboards doig marks on papers, imagining the future result so clear, it is the real happiness.

This is my pic I did just after my running track yesterday. I had several ideas while I run so went to the Big Whiteboard directly from my run. The picture isn`t clear because the rain drops to my iPhone camera, but it is good, all texts is unclear and I am not going to reveal my secret plans just in pleasure to show you how projectwork goes on.

Wish you to be happy, effective and efficient and so more happy with your work!

I love to have a long planing with free positions to fulfill by things important to me. And I gain it! Now I prepare my Chinese adventure in September. Wow-woooow!!!
