Chapter 13 The Role of Twelfth Letter Managers

Only things need management, what subordinates need is guidance. Promoted to Manager's Daughter: You have finally reached the position of keeping pace with me.This is the result of your confidence, years of hard work, frequent overtime, and hard work.You got the position of business manager this time, which is the price you paid for with such hard work.I sincerely congratulate you on your success.You have achieved a big goal.I can imagine how happy you are at the moment.I share this joy with you, and at the same time, I am proud of you. To be honest, when I became a manager, I don't even know.At the beginning of starting a business, I didn't have the consciousness of being a manager at all.That's because there were only two people in the company at the time, one of whom was me, and the other needed little supervision; as the number of staff gradually increased, one day (I don't remember the exact date), I found that Many people not only looked up to me for instruction, but also lived on the salary I paid. I will never forget the state of mind at that time.I deeply feel that the responsibility of managers is so serious!However, even with such a great responsibility, it does not affect the joy and adventure that only managers can taste.

Frankly speaking, I really suffered from the management staff at the time, because, according to my personality, I was really not good at giving orders, and I often felt shy because of it (look at the way I usually talk to you, it is hard to believe this sentence Bar?).What's more, I don't have any consultants around me to advise me. Therefore, I have learned all the methods of doing business through exploration.More than once or twice I have been deeply discouraged by the fact that I am not good at approaching things.Before I became able to handle things with ease and with a confident attitude, the hard work I put into learning, getting used to, and experiencing is indescribable.However, you have me as a father to rely on.You can use what I've learned for your new mission.

I've never really liked the word boss.According to the interpretation in the dictionary, this noun refers to the meaning of a supervisor who has authority over the master.I have no objection to the two points of the supervisor with authority, but is the explanation of the master correct?Owner.The idea of ​​a servant has long since become archaic.No matter under any circumstances, people feel that there is a difference in status, which is absolutely inappropriate.When an excellent manager gives an order, he often asks himself in such words. If I stand in the position of the person receiving the order, what would I want my boss to say at this time?It's just common sense to stand in the position of the other party and communicate with others.However, as someone has said, the problem is that common sense does not generalize to the desired degree.The nineteenth-century American philosopher Emerson once said the following sentence on this point. Common sense and honesty are often the most surprising.Whether it is commanding a department or leading a company, it is this common sense that must be possessed and practiced in order to be a successful manager.

Of course you should abandon the master.Servants are such an old-fashioned and outdated concept, but they often pretend to be part of the organization.Although the following analogy is a cliché, it is still worth mentioning, right?Let's think about football formations.The quarterback in the team (the player between the striker and the central defender, who directs the team when attacking, commonly known as the boss) is the player who controls the ball. He can decide who to hand the ball to based on his own discretion.Of course, the player who receives the ball runs as hard as he can right away with his own decision. However, if there are no teammates to stop the enemy team, it is impossible to make great progress.

As the leader of a department, you must build a highly effective team, that is, to obtain a proportional effect that is greater than the sum of the individual effects.Otherwise, once someone goes his own way, some people's time will be wasted.Or everyone is going their own way, and as a result, the time of all employees is wasted.It's a simple truth that productivity only increases when most people are working toward the same goal, and it's your job to make that possible for everyone.Like a football game, whether a team can win depends on whether the team has any weaknesses.I hope you can keep this in mind.

Here, the most important thing is the tacit understanding between the members of the unit.Since everyone's work is assigned to you, you of course know everyone's area of ​​responsibility.However, as a leader, you must not only have a precise understanding of the performance of each member within the scope of work, but also have a good grasp of how to achieve goals as a team.Only things need to be managed, and what subordinates need is guidance. You must never forget this. Unit supervisors will be role models for everyone in terms of team atmosphere, habits, productivity, etc.In order to thoroughly fulfill such responsibilities, the most important factor is to gain the trust and respect of our working partners.This is not something that can be achieved by relying on rich professional knowledge, but by relying on the usual integrity, fairness and trustworthy style.At the same time, you should let your subordinates know that what you care most about is to fight for their interests, and make them feel safe that they can get support or guidance from you at any time.All in all, the most important point is to respect each other's position.That way, you won't have to issue the same order twice, and your subordinates won't have to be notified repeatedly because the coffee vending machine fails.

Whether it is intentional or negligent, you must not say that you have not heard the aspirations of your working partners.If you don't see the red flags, when things get serious, you have only yourself to blame.Therefore, an open door is a policy that you must always maintain.Listen to what your companions say at all times, pay attention to it, and try to understand their thoughts.It would be even better if you can take the initiative to ask their opinions.For the opinions adopted, the meeting time should be used to reward the proposers greatly.As a result, not only the morale of the proponents is improved, but the rest of the staff will follow up one after another, and a situation of competing to put forward various proposals will also appear.In this way, don't you get many solutions that can help improve performance for free?What's more, your own and my morale will also be improved!

One of your new assignments is to be critical when necessary (maybe it's something you don't like to do, but you have to).On this point, I want to tell you the American psychologist William.James left a sentence at the beginning of this century as a reference. Close your eyes when necessary, which is what a wise man does. Behavior is perverted, but it does not affect work performance. There are such people in the world.I have a friend who works as a business manager in a company, and a salesman working under him has a different habit.He never works in the morning.Not only did he not come to the company every morning, he didn't even make phone calls.Even so, my friend said that he had never seen such an excellent salesman.Everything is about results. When you have to criticize, I hope you don't forget this.

However, when it comes to garbage, it is also possible.The so-called rubbish refers to hopelessly lazy people who complain about everything and often cause disputes.There is only one way to get rid of such people immediately.Allow the black sheep to exist and the entire unit will suffer.This is why it is necessary to spend a little more time carefully researching each person's experience when recruiting new personnel. After being appointed as the new business manager, all the staff in the business department will definitely pay attention to everything about you before you perform outstandingly and impress others, right?After tonight's toast, put the smile on your face back and you'll be successful.

full of love your boss Note: After the new business card is printed, I believe you will be eager to give it to many people. If you give me the first business card, I will be very happy.
