Dos and don’ts of novice managers
@new_theory
Must first:
Communicate regularly with employees
Talk to them about your expectations of them and their strengths and weaknesses. This can help build trust between you and your employees.
@new_theory
The second must:
Delegate authority
Novice managers are extremely conservative and like to make all the decisions themselves. The manager should not involve himself in minor and trivial issues. If your employees make a decision themselves, they will implement it in the best possible way and with the greatest commitment.
@new_theory
The third must:
Hold yourself and your people accountable
Be sure to make accountability one of the main pillars of your organizational culture and don’t be afraid to admit your mistakes to your subordinates.
@new_theory
The fourth must:
Build a team and help team members improve
Be sure to show your employees that you are interested in their development and not just thinking about your own interests.
@new_theory
must fifth:
Get a coach or counselor
No matter how much you were able to acquire a lot of information in the field of management during your time as a student or an employee, you will still need one or more guides and consultants to help you on the difficult path of management.
Shouldn’t be first: @new_theory
Don’t get caught up in micromanaging and dealing with details
One of the most important factors for managers to be disliked by employees is the excessive and unnecessary interference of managers in all matters. Employees and workers, especially those who are older and more experienced than others, are in dire need of freedom of action.
@new_theory
Shouldn’t be second:
Don’t treat all your people the same way
Although the principle is that the manager should see all his employees with the same eye and treat them fairly, this does not mean that he should use the same model of behavior to deal with all employees.
@new_theory
Shouldn’t be third:
Do not hesitate to implement the correct decisions you have made
The worst thing for a manager is to backtrack on a decision he made. In this case, the trust of the employees towards such a manager is completely taken away, and later on, the employees will not obey the orders and decisions of such a shaky manager.
@new_theory
Shouldn’t fourth:
Don’t pretend you know everything
Making this fatal mistake can destroy any manager, because sooner or later it becomes clear that there are many things that the manager is not aware of, and this means that the manager is a liar. This extravagant claim by the manager makes the employees no longer see the need to inform the manager of the facts, because they think he is aware of them.
