good manager
1. Good communication:
This is the main and prerequisite skill. Without being able to communicate properly you can forget about the rest. In all kind of management tasks the first and most common thing you do is communicating your needs, expectations and opinions to other people. If you don’t like working with people, you shouldn’t become a manager. Moreover, you should be able to send correct messages to others and ensure that they understand you.
2. Good organization:
This is the second most important skill. You have to be able to schedule, organize and follow your own plan. It also involves understanding the rules and processes in the company and among people, and predicting what will happen and when.
3. Team building:
A good manager should keep his team sealed. Competition inside the team is not beneficial for the well being of its members. On the other hand, the competition between teams is very healthy and stimulating. A healthy and successful team relies on trust to large extent. If a manager systematically builds trust, the team will feel more appreciated and committed.
4. Leadership
Listening to other coworkers’ problems is not sufficient. A good manager has to solve them and prove his commitment to the team goals. It’s also his responsibility to define goals together with his team and assign the responsibility to team members in a clear manner. He has a clear vision in what direction he wants the team to grow. He should ‘infect’ others with this vision and make them follow the same direction.
5. Dealing with changes
There are several managers who exactly know the whole working process. They are doing things almost automatically. The true manager should be flexible and adaptable. He is able to react quickly when facing any obstacles. Stress shouldn’t be a factor to prevent him from taking the right decisions.
6. Domain knowledge
A good manager has to understand what kind of process he is managing. How his team members are working. What kind of tasks they perform. This skill is not as important as the others but without it, in some cases, the team and the manager will never work at full capacity, using the whole potential due to lack of mutual understanding.
12.Planning:
A manager wants to reach some goals. When he wants to succeed he needs a visualized plan for the short time, but this is more important for the long term. A plan consists of investments which can be useful for the long term. Maybe these investments will have a negative impact on the profit of the company the first years but will result in a higher profit and a rise in the turnover.
7. Self-Motivation:
An effective manager can’t motivate others if he or she can’t self-motivate. Self-motivation, the ability to get yourself going, and take charge of what’s next for you, is a vital personal characteristic for a manager. You have to keep yourself going — and motivate those who work with you.
8. Dependability/Reliability:
As a person, a manager should be dependable and reliable. His superiors, as well as his subordinates, need to know that he can be counted on. Others in the organization should be able to rely on him.
9. Optimism:
An optimistic attitude can help build morale in employees under a manager. His positive attitude can inspire others, and help them feel good about getting things done.
10. Self confidence
A manager needs to be able to make decisions in confidence, and show others that he is capable of making good decisions. He should believe in himself and his capacities. He should not become nervous when something fails and be optimistic for your next plans.
11. Flexibility and patience
A good manager needs to give commands about the necessary tasks but it is important that you are flexible with your team. Give your employees the possibility to give their opinion how the work will be executed.
Flexibility means that there is a possibility of making an agreement. Don't take an attitude that you are the boss and only you know the right decisions. Give your employees the necessary time for their work. Patience is the key to have success!
13. Energetic:
A good manager needs to be energetic. The body language of the manager creates an influence on the subordinates. An energetic manager is more likely to produce better results.
14. VISION:
Vision is the ability to see beyond simple business solutions and outcomes, it's the notion of being able to see beyond that to the creative best in a company and its people. A visionary manager can take the benefit of an organization beyond targets.
15. ETHICAL:
A manager should have Personal and professional ethics. He must be respectful of his workers. This can enhance output by his subordinates and create and healthy environment for workers to groom. A good manager helps employees feel valued.
Conclusion:
A successful manager is the motor of a company. He needs to work hard and to figure out where a good team work is possible. Honesty and teamwork where everyone has his positive input is the key to success. A successful manager works together with the team like the proverb said "there is no I in the team". Each member of the team is necessary to be successful and good managers realize the importance of teamwork.
