Applying management theories in the workplace

Former Community Member
Former Community Member
As a professional skills trainer for the IET, I’m interested to know more about how beneficial engineers and technicians find management theories and how useful they are when put into practice.

 

Have you ever come across or been introduced to a Management or Leadership theory that you have successfully applied to the workplace?

 

What was the theory and how was it applied?

    Hello Lisa, 



    In our workplace, the favourite management theory we use is Pareto's Law on 80/20. Almost most of our work can be classified with this rule. 80% of the work done requires 20% effort while the remaining 20% always takes 80% of the effort to complete. It's not accurate science, but it does help us prioritise work scopes and manage resources more effectively.
