What Manage “Meant” While management may be appointed leadership has to be earned. Employees promoted to management are often technically very good at the job; they are often strongly independent and task oriented. Yet these qualities don’t necessarily make them great leaders. Because they work well alone, they aren’t used to involve others—they are prone to being reactive to situations rather than being proactive and involving their team.
Managing others require a bountiful set of skills. Good managers are supportive, helpful empowering, visionary, accountable, appreciative, able to adapt to change, and good at delegating and prioritizing, among Other qualities. All of these leadership traits require that managers learn to free employees’ potential for creative expression by involving them.
WHAT KIND OF MANAGER ARE YOU? The Structured Manager: Do you… • Give a lot of directives? • Make most of the decisions? • Condition employees to wait for direction? • Find yourself consumed by problems? • Believe you are very task oriented
The Involving Manager: Do you... • Involve and ask employees for their help? • Allow others to make decisions about things that directly affect them? • Focus on a vision? • Empower others to produce results? • Treat mistakes as opportunities to learn?
Would your people rate you as a Structured or Involving Manager? The ideas and concepts in this book will help managers move towards being more involving in order to support and empower their workforce. Read the full book “All work & No Say�
