He believes that you can be an effective manager by following these essential management keys, and your organization will benefit as a direct result.
These management keys include;
Set clear goals
Every employee needs goals to stay motivated. Not only do goals give employees direction and purpose, but they ensure that your employees are working towards the overall organizational goals. Set specific, reasonable and measurable goals with your employees and then monitor their progress toward achieving them.
Communicate effectively
Many managers fail because they do not know how to communicate their vision and goals to their employees effectively. Make every effort to get your employees the information that they need to do their jobs quickly and efficiently.
Delegate wisely
In order to become an effective manager, learn to effectively delegate both the responsibility for completing assignments and the authority required to get tasks done. This will help to increase the amount of work you can accomplish while you develop your employees’ confidence, leadership and work skills.
Make time for employees
When an employee needs to talk with you for whatever the reason, make sure that you set aside the time to do so.
Finally, effective managers make their organizations fun places to work. Always recognize and reward your employees for a job well done and take regular time to reflect on your approach to management.
