New Model of School Management ~ Flat Management

According to the traditional administrative management mechanism, the person in charge of a team stands at the tip of the tower, and the instructions given are passed through one level of management and eventually reach the executives; the information at the grassroots level is filtered through one layer after another and finally reaches the highest decision maker; the superiors can't cross the level of command, and the subordinates can't cross the level of request for instructions. This kind of mechanism is superior to improve the execution and enhance the control of the team. However, in the process of promoting the autonomy of schools in accordance with the law, and realizing the transformation from management to governance, this mechanism is not only relatively inefficient, but also inevitably in the process of information transfer distortion, distortion and other phenomena, and to promote the de-administration of the flat management mechanism has become a must. To achieve the connotative development of education, to adapt to the needs of innovation and diversification, optimize the organizational process, to achieve decision-making, implementation, supervision and evaluation of all aspects of the flattening and high efficiency. However, it must be clear that the promotion of flat management is not only to reduce the management level, rationalize the relationship between the management level and management range, but a systematic change.

Reducing the management level is a prerequisite. The implementation of flat management, we must be the principal, vice-principal, middle-level departments, grades (school), staff, teachers, students, parents and many other layers of compression, trying to establish "decision makers - implementers" of the fast mechanism. Only when each matter really reduces the number of administrative layers can it provide a basis for optimizing the entire organizational process.

Promoting decentralized decision-making is the path. To realize the flattening, must support decentralized decision-making. First of all, in accordance with the principle of consistency of authority and responsibility, clear authority and responsibility subordination, neither the power of the big and small, nor the power of the small and big. Principal accountability, specifically responsible for what, how responsible, responsible for not in place how to do, are relatively clear. Secondly, the duties of each position, the division of labor should be clear, fixed in the form of an agreement, and constantly enhance the sense of contract and contractual awareness, which is also the premise of the rule of law, the rule of law school. On this basis, the power is distributed to the most suitable decision-making, the most informed, the most professional level or candidate, so that the most appropriate person to do the most appropriate thing.

Project-based management is an effective way. After realizing the flattening and decentralization style, it is necessary to focus on the key difficulties and hot spots, break the barriers between departments and positions, and replace the original sectional system with the project, who has the ability to do, who can do a good job, and realize the people and positions, so that everyone can find the most suitable for their own positions, and integrate into the team that can best realize the vision of self-development, and realize the diversified and distributed leadership.

Promote flatness and informationization as one. Without the support of information technology, flattening will be difficult to maintain. If not for the information technology and Internet technology has greatly expanded the audience groups and scope, the advantages of information transfer brought by the flattening will be greatly reduced. For example, the traditional channels of information delivery through convening meetings, releasing documents, etc., can be fully realized with the help of mobile Internet technology to instantly **** enjoy. Some of the faculty and staff person-to-person attendance system, can be fully realized by the cell phone APP function. Then some need time-consuming and laborious statistics, analysis, calculation matters, such as workload, performance pay, etc., with big data way to realize one-click operation.

In the above process, it is also necessary to continuously reduce the administrative control of the higher level over the lower level. The administrative control model with many layers and complex structure, the superior has excessive voice, personnel power and work domination over the subordinate. After the implementation of flattening, it is necessary to reduce unnecessary instructions, significantly reduce the number of meetings, documents and activities, and decentralize the personnel arrangements, division of labor, and job setup of the subordinate team. Especially the formation and operation of the project team, the school management needs to do is to serve and correct, rather than order and guidance. Advocating within the school by professionalism to win the authority of the orientation, the most authoritative, the most recognized by everyone, not in the administrative management mode at the top of the people, but in a project team in the most approach to the people. This requires principals and administrators to take the path of specialization, relying on specialization and the art of superb leadership to unite and cohesion of the faculty and staff, to win trust and support.

In the process of promoting flattening, attention should be paid to guaranteeing the smooth flow of orders and execution, combing and building the bottom line. Flattening is not a loss of supervision, decentralization is not laissez-faire, to support the establishment of the implementation of the party's education policy, follow the laws of education and the growth of human beings a strong implementation and supervision system. Flattening is a systematic project that requires the full participation of all school administrators and staff, and the implementation of various systems and processes requires a teething period, which will correspondingly increase the cost of learning. Principals and administrators should pay more attention to the information feedback from the bottom to the top, and build more platforms to collect and analyze the dynamics of the work and the demands of all parties, so as to address them in a targeted manner.

To realize the flat management of the school, the principal needs to have outstanding business ability, planning ability, but also can play the role of a good coach and listener. Imagine if, after the flattening, a large wave of staff to run all day to ask for instructions, reporting sesame seed minutiae, from the expenditure, personal matters, work recommendations, etc., is bound to make the principal burnt out. Flat is a good mechanism, but also to promote the legal autonomy of the necessary options, but to understand the direction, figure out the path before promoting the implementation.
