Outdated Management Practices that Should be Abolished

The business world has rapidly evolved in the age of the Internet, with many old traditions going by the wayside and many new paradigms embraced. Even as corporate cultures have evolved and commerce has gone global, some companies and managers still cling to certain outdated management practices. These dated and dull practices from yesteryears could be holding back your employees and your company.

If you are ready to take a step forward into more productivity and more prosperity for your company, it’s time to say goodbye to the old practices and embrace new management styles and principles. Some of the key practices to abandon include:

  • An emphasis on conformity: Managers in the past often focused primarily on getting staff to comply with directions and do things the company way. This practice stifles creativity and prompts increased employee turnover. Drop the outdated practice and encourage independent thinking as much as possible. Your employees will be happier and your company more innovative when everyone has the opportunity to share their best ideas.
  • An authoritarian structure: Many traditional companies and traditional management styles adhered to strict hierarchies, with newer and more inexperienced workers at the bottom of the totem pole. Today, it is widely recognized that you can achieve better results by creating an inclusive company culture where everyone can communicate openly and work together toward a common goal.
  • Commitment to the status quo: Maintaining company traditions and enforcing outdated company policies often results in stagnation in the business world. Challenging the status quo and looking at new ways to shake up industries is a far better approach to management in today’s fast-paced world.

Investing in your people, instead of in tools, is also a big shift that companies have embraced in recent years and it is a shift which has paid dividends.
