FREE online courses on Maximum Managing People - Dealing With People - Core People Focus – Biomedical Management

 

The ability to focus on those around you is the single greatest ability a manager can have. The questions that most often arise but are overlooked are based on the human beings' basic biological factors. Some people's brains work too fast and others are just right. Your organization also has a particular speed. This extends into all facets of the business such as information processing, sales, advertising and accounting flows. The idea is to have people operating on the same platform or speed productivity axis you want. This requires a psychological management policy, which will generate the results you want.

 

Retention of employees also means not just good governance but good environmental management of human beings in your organization. That is satisfying their needs, wants, desires and protecting the employees form being their own worst biological enemy. This means good clean water, health foods in the cafeteria, clean air, and good biomedical atmosphere related to all work processes.

 

One high technology company states that many of its employees are working until after 9 p.m. This means that their bodies are at work for over 12 hours. Blood pressure changes, nervous tension, heart palpitations, psychosis are all likely to occur during long hours and high pressure at the office.

 

Since the human biosystem is a biochemical system, it must be managed along with paper work, managerial decisions and progress reports. Since biochemistry represents huge areas of knowledge, my role in this book will be simply to discuss some of what should be handled with care. The overall concept is to say “I'm going to help take care of my employees so that they can take care of the firm.”

 

Biomedical management is a highly productive money saving process since it not only protects the health of employees but preps them to be more productive. It can be divided into two focus areas – health protection and productive health techniques. Under each of these core areas are two sets of biomedical management applications. One application area can be of the neuropsychiatric processes. The second is the human physiology, i.e., the nuts and bolts of the body.

 

The body is like an interconnected telecommunication system – an electrical process much like the synapse of the brain. During normal business processes, imbalances occur across transmission lines due to external stimulus, shocks, stress, etc. These throw the circuitry of these areas out of sync – an obviously hazardous situation.

 

Understand who can do what and when. This will build up your focus rating per person. Lower level people go for more disruptive behavior and more often. This should be adjusted against. Bigger fish wait for bigger deals with greater chance to see you fry in a public humiliation. Then you will recreate many such situations to your benefit.

 

People's brains function in different ways, using different areas of the brain to evolve solutions. Some people work best under pressure. Others require a challenge or emotional boost to achieve optimum results. Some need special lights, soft music, etc.

 

Some management books even talk about ‘brain dominance', i.e., left versus right. The right brain is irrational, illogical. It is used for holistic thought, insights into things, recognizing similarities. It also has visual and spatial perception capabilities. Our humor, feelings and intuitions reside in these areas making it more prone to high risk unpredictable exciting behavior.

 

The left brain is serious, logical, rational, idea linked. It is based on predictability and engenders that kind of behavior. Planning and prioritizing is more easily done by left brain dominant people.

 

Some traits may overlap as we integrate our thought processes and brains. Certain stimuli like lights flickering, fans, etc., can alter speeds, and using sound stimuli, activate different parts of our brain. This can alter what we are thinking about, how sharp we may be, and what our decision will be.

 

Controlling the background of a person's brain is also important. Many images enter our consciousness and put up the interface of our neurotransmitters who transmit chemical stimulus and our memory banks. These images thus keep entering our brain based on our need for self-stimulus and to alleviate a sense of oneness, i.e. being alone. By controlling the strength of these images, their colors, closeness and angles of projection we can control ourselves more effectively. Mixing good images and breaking bad ones can alter our conscious state tremendously.

 

By understanding the logistical flow, i.e., what events and communications trigger which images, how and when, results in greater control over the background of the mind. Learning this background is a way to enhance productivity and avoid neurological trouble spots. It leads to greater motivation.

 

People often have three or four separate personality modules that can activate or de-activate according to various stimulus packages. These create mood and personality fluctuations. Some people work best under certain moods which activate and use certain core areas of the brain. One baseball player use to say “I play my best when I'm a little hung over.”

 

So in order to manage, well, know what your neurological variances are. People can be radically altered based on receiving different stimuli. Also create an office Handbook for sound psychological management practices. This should include sexual harassment, excessive workloads creating nervous breakdowns, lack of timely holidays etc. Also adopt psychologically friendly accounting policies. See that people are paid in a timely fashion. No one should have to wait for his or her salary to feed his or her family or pay the rent.

 

Understanding these variations can heighten your efficiency in managing people. Learning to play upon their ebbs and flows, while protecting your own; will heighten your neurological sensitivity.

 

The human body is like an engineered grouping of microchips. Change any sensory influence and the microchips have to reprocess the information. This means that a new output is to be generated. Changes in any sensory influence to the body be it the air, water, heat, cold, communications patters, ergonomic of tables, chairs, background music, computer phonetics, keyboards, can indelibly affect productivity positively or adversely. This will mitigate any other attempts to boost productivity. Thus if your firm obsesses with new software, management training or any other well thought out practice, these may all fail without paying close attention to human physiological management.

 

The key is to build in physiologically friendly processes that boost people's bodies to work better and feel better. These friendly products and processes create an element of assistance to the employee which is inherently additive to the output he or she can produce.

 

Nowhere is this more important than in the coordination of management of neuropsychological and physiological practices your firm espouses. Extend every possible form of coordination, be it offensive, defensive, money to anatomical processes. These are too complex to describe. However we should be aware of the physiological pressures on people and how they are altered due to varying pressure levels.

 

Sufficient quantitative analysis, counting of the human clock as it applies to reactions will unearth factors relevant to each person. Much like the analysis of a patient, it uncovers hidden thought processes, emotions, biorhythms and neurological control centers.

 

Studies have shown that even changes in air pressure have changed the level of neurological activity in the brain. Also various tension and pain levels in the body divert thought processes to these areas. This slows down the thinking process for work related issues.
