I recently wrote about discipline being a vital element in exploiting intelligent risk-taking. More broadly, risk has to be managed well to get the results it can provide.
Managing well involves more than just managing risk, but doing so is a critical part of management success. The athlete/executives in my recent book Business Lessons from the Edge (McGraw-Hill) offer some powerful insights into managing excellence. In large part, they revolve around acknowledging and respecting the importance of quality management.
It’s refreshing to see excellence in the art and science of managing recognized. The Australian Institute of Management is in its 20th year of awarding Management Excellence Awards.
The awards are presented annually in a variety of categories. Information on the awards is available at www.managementawards.com.au.
What a great idea. Managing well is a tremendous challenge that requires commitment, passion, resilience and insight. It is great to see successful managers receive the recognition they deserve.
