2. You can be a highly effective
manager if you can incorporate
some basic principles into
everyday work practices. Here
are 10 Steps to consider to help
you how to be a great manager
4. 1-Be Connected
Manager need to be connected to one
another and make a daily practice to
talking to other managers at your
level about what is going on their
areas. You will garner good
information and build a rapport with
others. It is fine to talk about non
worker stuff too, and socialize if you
have things in common
5. 2-Respect and Courtesy
Treat everyone on the job
with respect and courtesy at
all times. This doesn’t apply
just to managers. You need to
set the example for everyone
else. You need not to be best
buddies but give other their
dues
6. 3-Have Meetings
You should have a meetings with your
people on your regular basis and in
some cases where time sensitivity is
paramount, daily meetings to ensure
that everyone’s priorities in line.
Encourage question and be courteous in
answering them so as to encourage
others to come forward if they don’t
understand something
7. 4-Give out tasks
Learn to give out the tasks to each of
people you manage. Some of them, like
the older gent who has been there for 10
Years, may not need supervision and can
be trusted to meet the quotas and
deadlines. Still others are new people, will
need to be monitored periodically to
ensure that they know what to do and
How to do
8. 5-Priorities
Keep everyone in your group aware
of priorities and the order of
priorities so they do first thing
first. Avoid telling one employee
and expecting him to communicate
it to his workmates unless he is
qualified lead person. This present
the impression of favoritism, which
you want avoid at all costs
9. 6-Problems
Allow each person to talk to you
about problems and be sympathetic.
Giving them a hearing once in a while
is good and shows you are
understanding. If the same person
has personal problems all the time,
however, beware. You may have
problem employee on your hands
10. 7-Be Open to
New employees often come
company from other places
where they are trained in
superior way. Take note and
learn from these new folks. You
might have a chance to do
things better or faster than
before. Be open and flexible
11. 8-Standards
Impose the same standards on all
employees in the same way. Don’t
favor anyone. If it is vital to a job,
non performance needs to be
addressed with structured
disciplinary program. Train your
supervisors to handle these
situation
12. 9- Promotions
Get your people ready to be
promoted to higher levels by
training and developing their skills.
Even if it means a good one will be
transferred to another part of
company, by developing your
people, you are building a strong
base and your managerial
achievement will readily apparent
to all.
13. 10-Positive Effort
Your effort to be positive is a
gift that can make you better
manager. Strive to see the good
side of things and point these out
to your staff. Never talk bad
about the company or people in
higher level position or you will
lower yourself in the eyes your
people
