Managers that Aren’t!

Posted by tngui79 on August 22, 2011 in Daily Rants |

How many times have we come across the title “Manager” and thought nothing of it? Little thought really goes into the meaning of the title “Manager”.

More often than not, Managers are assistants and executives who have risen through the ranks over time; Specialists in their fields who are equipped to handle the tasks assigned. Or are they?

Managers are more than specialists. They are people motivators, effect multipliers that can either cause the department, division or team to succeed, or fail.

A good manager is one who is knowledgable in the scope of work, is able to lead, delegate, assign, follow-up and deliver team results.

An excellent manager, is one who does all the above and enriches the lives of his or her followers.

Managers, pause and think. Are you there yet? If you aren’t. Better do something about it, and quick.

Subordinates, if you think your manager is about to make a wrong decision, have that private talk with him/her. No one on this earth is all-seeing and being human, is bound to make mistakes. The power of group think helps ensure better and more informed decisions are made. Even if you disagree with the answer, give that support to your manager. It’s a learning experience for both of you.
