To ensure a smooth and effective process, it’s important for a #hub manager to create an atmosphere that lets the team communicate efficiently, work on concepts and share files collaboratively.
Below are 5 skills that every hub manager should possess to achieve a smooth and efficient hub environment:
1. Communication
It is important to influence/set up a communication infrastructure that caters to everyone’s needs. If you create a transparent communication stream by
sharing necessary information as early as possible, it will keep all team members up-to-date about ongoing projects and internal matters. It will also create a working environment with good relationships among the employees as well as between employees and employer.
2. Team Building
Take some time to focus on team building and on preparing team members for future challenges. Get team members to know each other’s strengths and weaknesses, and be able to define each other's roles.
This would help them bond and come up with innovative solutions for the hub activities.
3. Task Management
Hub managers should maintain an overview of the previous, ongoing and upcoming activities, who is responsible for them and when they are due, and also ensure team member
keeps their own calendar and to-do list. The lack of knowledge about each individual’s capacities may result in an unequal allocation of manpower, misunderstandings, and missed deadlines.
4. File Management.
Without a defined file management process, team members could
eventually spend more time searching for project files than on actual project work. Centralized storage for all hub-relevant files is a must-have. It’s the essence of creating a knowledge pool that will not only be highly valuable for current tasks, but also for future projects
and employees.
5. Conception
Don’t let employees and promising ideas get lost along the way! Explore these new ideas, draft concepts, and business models and finally implement them. Provide your employees with the right tools so that they can successfully validate their ideas
based on real market data.
