1. Putting Policies Ahead of People
Don't: Put policies ahead of people. Flexibility with both employees and customers is particularly important in a small company. Consistently putting policies ahead of people could lose you loyal customers and key employees.
Do: When policies need to be bent, search for Reasonable Solutions that keep all parties satisfied.
2. Failing to Communicate
Don't: Fail to communicate. Communication is key to being a successful Manager. Employees need to know what is expected of them.
Do: Clearly explain when specific Projects or tasks need to be completed and how they should be done; answer any questions.
3. Not Listening to Employees
Don't: Be a poor listener. Many managers listen without hearing what their employees are saying. To manage effectively, you must understand your employees' needs and concerns.
Do: To make sure you're listening well, try rephrasing what you think you've heard.
4. Believing You Have All the Answers
Don't: Be a know-it-all. Good managers don't try to solve every problem themselves. It's important to acknowledge that your approach isn't the only way to do the job.
Do: Ask others for advice and help -- it's a sign of strength, not weakness, and helps your team develop confidence.
5. Always Seeing the Glass as Half Empty
Don't: Be negative. Managers who continually focus on the downside of situations, without recognizing positive achievements or employee accomplishments, will soon find their employees are unmotivated and have one foot out the door.
Do: In each situation, look for one accomplishment to compliment employees on.
6. Not Accepting Responsibility
Don't: Shift responsibility. Poor managers don't accept responsibility for problems that occur on their watch. Some even try to delegate blame. Eventually, this will catch up with you.
Do: Take responsibility -- it's part of being in Charge. Learn How to Earn.
7. Not Explaining Things Clearly
Don't: Keep employees in the dark. The Nike slogan "just do it" doesn't work to Motivate employees. You can't expect your team to work blindly on tasks they do not understand.
Do: Explain how the project fits into the team's and company's overall goals. The more invested your team is in a project, the better the results will be.
Motivation! The Secret Sauce.
Learn ways to ensure your team is Enthused, Productive, and ready to give their all.
