Successful managers and interpersonal skills

Ever heard of such a story:

United States well-known Ford Motor Company, a division of New Jersey, in the past because of the confusion, but I almost managed to close down. Later the company sent a very competent people, on his arrival in the third, he found that the crux of the problem: the huge facility, one line as one barrier cut off the workers on direct communication between the roar of the machine, the test line scroll axis noise that makes people exchange of information on the work even more difficult to achieve.

Due to the closure of factories on the verge, past leadership he kept to production tasks, while everyone dinner, plant common entertainment time down to a minimum. All this makes employees talk to each other, the chance of engagement, the desolate scene quickly the factory so that they work with enthusiasm, interpersonal apartness also make the staff was very bad mood. Organization confusion, people of the mouth, unnecessary disputes also began to increase, some of them simply broken pot broken down, the situation worsened the factory to the headquarters to move to nowhere.

The new managers in acutely aware of this issue of the fundamental, decisive decisions after staff lunch costs borne by the factory, hope everyone can stay for dinner, to tide over. In the staff opinion, the factory may to the last minute, you need to dry up, so willing to work hard, in fact, the Manager of the real intention was to give the employees a chance to communicate with each other to know in order to establish trust in the space, the organization is an interpersonal relationship.

Every day at all dining, managers also swim in the cafeterias of corner set up BBQ, free barbecue for each employee. A hard were not in vain, in those days, the staff at the dinner table conversation was the Organization's future direction, we have ideas and to work out the problems initiatively, seeking the best solutions.

The Manager's decision is a significant risk. He ran the risk of cost increases that saved a business bad relationships, so that all the members are back in a harmonious atmosphere. Although the noise of the machine or not, but it cannot stop the exchange of people inside. Two months later, enterprise performance, 5 months later, the enterprise started gaining miraculous. The company still maintains this tradition, the noon lunch all together, by the Manager personally a barbecue.

"Because people never isolated, and everything will happen, but what is most important is this relationship. Thus, managers are to succeed, you first should know and the flexibility to handle interpersonal relationships.
