Are you a BAD Manager? What makes a #manager good or bad? You need to realize that the correct answer is not a definite point on a scale. Like most quality measurements, the answer would have a range linkedin.com/pulse/you-bad-… #leadership
Like how sweet is a cup of tea? Or like salt to taste. Being a "Good" or "Bad" #manager has a range. Also, there is no one size fits to all approach to #management and #leadership
It helps that we have a range to play. Makes conformance easier and realistic. You have a real chance to be “Good” and an equal probability to be “Bad”. The choice is always ours. #Management#Leadership
If you want to tilt the scale towards "Good" #management, stop being a JERK. Remember, you deal with #people
People leave bad bosses and people leave good bosses. There are many triggers for employee #resignations. Bad #management is one of those
I have quit #jobs and I must say I was fortunate to discuss my resignation and #career plans with a great #boss.
#Facebook found that when they wanted to retain talent but they quit anyway, it was not because they reported to bad #managers. Employees quit Facebook because:
1. they didn’t like the work 2. their strengths were underused, or 3. they weren’t growing in their careers".
Dr. Jason McPherson, @CultureAmp Chief Data Scientist, conducted a similar research to test this common belief that #people leave #bosses, not companies.
The discovery:
1. People leave bad #managers. However, it is not the number one reason #people leave a company 2. Managers make a difference in "good" companies 3. In “bad” companies, good or bad managers make little to no difference to a person’s decision to leave
Arrogant, always critical, tendency to blame others, does not give clear instructions, micromanager, takes the credit for good work, reluctant to appreciate, control freak, #biased, avoids tough conversations, lack of #empathy, poor listener
“Treat employees like they make a difference, and they will” – Jim Goodnight
2. •A little research to start. I identified a common challenge faced by #smallbusinesses – lead management. Most businesses struggle with optimum usage of #sales CRMs. They either don’t have a system to manage leads or fail to utilize the functions of a #CRM
3. I created a free Excel based lead management sheet. The LMS is easy to use and has in-built reports to track #sales KPIs and trends
#Empathy, compassion, listening with patience, the willingness to express gratitude and accept mistakes are some of the soft skills that #leaders need to lead happy teams.
Jerks cannot be good #leaders. People #management is about people. You cannot excel at people management if you lack empathy and compassion.
1. Now, more than ever, is the time you should not fail to plan for #employeeengagement. Why?
2. The #COVID19 impact on the way we work and live continues to linger on. There is no end to job, health and life uncertainties. As one after another #pandemic wave subsides and we look to move closer to what was normal, a new variant and spike hits us with greater force.
3. The combination of job insecurity and financial concerns have added to #Mentalhealth challenges and #stress for employees.
Every #sales objection has a way out. Pay attention to what your prospects are really saying with their objections and find a way they simply can’t say “no”. businessmanagementblog.com/handle-sales-o…
The opinion of the buyer gets stronger the longer you choose to ignore the objection. Get it out of your way the sooner you can. #salestips#salestraining
