Managing the Managers |
Tuesday, 11 March 2008

What we see: Employee has been given very little direction or expectation Meets with supervisor as little as once or twice a year Very little communication between manager and employee Very little corrective action training (fire rather then coach and retain) In a world of rather young executives we have seen that there is no management training. Promotions are awarded to the "next in line." We need to ask ourselves: What is a good manager? Do I know the answer? Am I a good manager? Do I hire quality people? Do my managers hire quality people? Have my managers had any formal management training? Has our company properly trained our managers to manage? Do I lead by example? Can I give examples of solid leadership skills through achievement? Tips for being a successful manager: Lead by example Nurture and grow your people Ask your people to help you better manage them, without sacrificing the common goal Find everyone's strengths and play to their strengths Remember, ordinary people can do extraordinary things if properly managed.
