Basically, in organizations we must work with and for others. To be able to mutually achieve our goals we must be able to relate to others effectively. Here are some possible ideas how to lead and manage people:
- Catch people doing things right and then let them know that they are doing things right.
- Use feedback to stay informed about what other people are doing in your area of responsibility and authority.
- Have regular, focused meetings regarding the projects that you are responsible for.
- Provide adequate instructions. Time is lost if things are not done correctly.
- Train others to do jobs. You cannot do them all, nor can others do them if they have not been trained.
- Expect others to succeed. It becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy when you believe others are loyal, dedicated and doing a good job.
- Help others see how they will benefit from doing a job. This is when they truly become motivated.
- Do not avoid talking to a poor performer. It hurts them, the organization and yourself if the situation is not dealt with.
- Do not over control others. It is frustrating for them and time consuming for you.
- Focus on results, not on activities or personalities.
- Reward people for the results that they produce.
