TRAITS OF A GOOD MANAGER

In a follow up to our May 18th, 2018 blog, we talk further about being a good boss or leader by managing your employees in the best possible way.

A good manager has the ability to give instructions and have them followed in a correct manner. This is not as easy as it seems. Sometimes the simplest instructions may go awry. Why did this happen? Is it the employee’s fault or the manager’s (boss’)?

Leaders who discover that some of their instructions are not being carried out efficiently should ask themselves the following questions:

  1. Were the instructions clear? It may be clear in the mind of the manager; however, did the employee understand it the same way?
  2. Ask your employee to repeat the instructions. Do not accept just a yes response or a nod of their head.
  3. Always encourage your employees to ask questions to help clarify your instructions. Some employees are reluctant to ask questions or ask for a further explanation. This can only lead to problems.
  4. Give your instructions in a pleasant tone of voice. Instructions given as a request instead of a command are usually more effective in being followed correctly.
  5. Follow up your instructions by observing their implementation. Your employee may feel that they are following your instructions correctly. If necessary, repeat or redefine your instructions.
  6. When your instructions are carried out correctly and efficiently, do not hesitate to acknowledge the fact. Praise and appreciation are rightfully accepted for a job well done by your employee. This acknowledgment is a powerful incentive to do this job and others equally well.

The better the manager (boss) in these traits, the more often instructions will be carried out correctly.

LEADING AND MANAGING EMPLOYEES

All of us who own a business strive to be a good boss. We may take courses or read books. Also, we may peruse articles about human relations as they relate to personnel matters.

All of these are valuable tools as long as we don’t forget the most important fact. Being a leader is more than having the right techniques to manage, it is having the right qualities.

What do employees respect most in a leader? They want someone who is honest and sincere. Someone they can trust.

These qualities may be faked for a short time but over the long run employees will know if you truly possess them. If you have the best interests of your employees, it will show in your interaction with them. No leader can create a feeling of trust quickly. It will take time and effort. Nor can you project sincerity like a light switch that be can turned off and on. Owners who are sincere don’t have to talk about it because it becomes apparent to all in their everyday actions. The only way to keep the trust of your employees is to be honest.

AGE IS A STATE OF MIND

Owning and operating a small business has its trials and tribulations. There are days we might say “we are too old for this”. However our business also has its rewards. We must never lose sight of those positives that come our way each day and make us feel young.

Age is a state of mind,
If you have left your dreams behind,
If hope is cold,
If you no longer look ahead,
If your ambition's fires are dead,
Then you are old,

But if from life you take the best,
And if in life you use a jest,
If love you hold;
No matter how the years go by,
No matter how the birthdays fly,
You are not old.

ACHIEVEMENT

Achievement is the result of making continuous efforts.

The line between failure and success is so fine that we scarcely know when we pass it; so fine that we are often on the line and do not know it.

In business, we may sometimes feel that circumstances appear to be insurmountable. Many people throw up their hands in defeat, when with a little more effort, persistence and patience they would achieve success.

There is no failure except in no longer trying. There is no defeat except from within, no really unconquerable barrier except our own lack of purpose.
