Process-orientated and analytical thinking

Both ways of thinking have to be available.

On the one hand, one should be in a position to realize correlations and be able to cope with systematic relations: e.g. what has to be taken into account if a flexible working time model is introduced in my department?

On the other hand, one should be in a position to proceed from the correlations step by step into detail: e.g. How do I proceed from calculatory to actual figures.

Independence

New management approaches will give the employee an ever increasing amount of responsibilities. At the same time, there will be less people on the higher levels of organizations. Who will control and check the sequences of operations.

The result of this is that is employees must cope with an increased amount of tasks independently and pay attention to the quality criteria, profitability and feasibility. This increase in responsibilties also means an increase in independence.

Willingness to learn

"The willingness to learn is not a matter of age but a matter of attitude."

As already described above, requirements change. Information is losing its half-life period and working conditions are far from being stable. One solution to the problem is the willingness to learn.

The willingness to learn must be supported by knowledge about:

  • how to open up a new field of information
  • which techniques of learning are the best for oneself?
  • how to effectively tackle learning blocks?
  • how to define and check learning objectives?

 

Sense of responsibility

If employess have more room for decision making and are given more opportunities to shape the product, the processing techniques and their entire workplace, they must be willing to give answers which they are able to support.

To have a sense of responsibility means: initiating necessary processes, even if they are annoying for oneself or bringing things to an end which have proven detrimental to the company and facing up to the the consequences of change.
