Can you be a good manager with a big temper?

The little tangle after the promotion

A friend came to me to ask questions about personality and leadership. The background is that he has just recently been promoted to a department leader, with a team of eight people working under his hand. As a matter of fact, the friend was expected to be the head of the department, because he had always been a former deputy in the department and was involved in departmental management. When the original head of the transfer, on the one hand is logical, on the other hand, he was very successful to take over the role of old leader, began to run the department.

If the feeling of just promotion is particularly exciting and exciting, but the following is a lot of new challenges, the most unsettling to him is his own personality weaknesses. Because compared to their own, the previous department of Leadership in the work of the subordinates have been very strict, and temper is relatively large, so in the minds of everyone is a more dignified person, or more able to serve the audience. On the contrary, the friend himself is a more "Cence" person, has long been very focused on the relationship with colleagues, was promoted to the period of time, he clearly felt that his men seem to have entered a relatively lazy working condition, the department performance is not so high in the past, Want to learn the original leadership to become more rigorous, but always can not find that feeling, but also very worried that their changes will undermine the relationship with colleagues ...

This hesitation, left is not the right nor the state to make this friend become very uneasy, and even some regret to accept the management of the appointment, in his words-it is better to be a number two or ordinary staff!

Management is a kind of control

Although with the changes of the times, employees are becoming more and more "disobedient", but an immutable principle is that as a manager, the Organization must take the collective value of the realization as the goal to control the members of the organization, so that they play their role under a common structure- Whether the members of these organizations are based on a high level of self-approval or simply a necessity for the purpose of breadwinner.

Perhaps some friends will put forward some different views, the example is the recent years have been very popular "human management", "people-oriented management" and "Happy work" and other concepts. In fact, enterprises and managers to implement or learn these new management concepts and strategies, the purpose is not to "do charity" and "to raise the Idler", but is forced by the new challenges in the process of employing different from the original more powerful and blunt management mode of the new method, Let those who care more about themselves and their accomplishments continue to work in the framework and expectations of the enterprise.

For the management of this fundamental principle, in fact, from the perspective of TA interaction Analysis psychology is particularly easy to understand. Because of the five energies that coexist in each of us, the real thing that can be done on the ground is by "obedient children", even if there is a particular need to work with the creativity of "free children" to produce results, not to say that they are all sheep. In the case of "flexible work", which has already been widely used but is always used, the elasticity is not entirely free-you can choose to do it at home or in the office, but if you do not finish the task on schedule, then you have to see it!

To coexist with a great temper.

If it is from the point of view of performance, the big-temper managers are really related to the effectiveness of management.

Of course, this effect can be guaranteed not simply because managers love to lose their temper. Conversely, if a manager who is too grumpy will lead to a greater turnover rate, it will lead to a decline in performance due to the fact that employees are always novices.

The performance behind the tantrum, in fact, is a human body in the "control of parents" energy is higher, such a person, even if not in the form of tantrums, itself is a relatively strict and serious type, the rules and institutions of the Organization, as well as the criteria for rewards and punishments are particularly valued. So the management atmosphere, although the staff will be a lot less freedom and fun, but often in the pay, bonuses will be a lot of positive incentives-so-called strict teacher out Gaotu, in a relatively perfect reward and punishment system under the premise of higher requirements will naturally have higher performance, natural can get more generous reward.

At the same time, as previously said, even if a manager does not lose his temper, if its own "control-type parents" is relatively high, it is inevitable that the staff are always under a state of pressure. Over the same, there will be some negative effects that will gradually emerge. On the one hand, the staff have become very good performers, but often very few opportunities to develop their own as a manager of the skills, thus affecting the Echelon construction, on the other hand, some have the ambition or personality of the subordinate will at the beginning of the "humiliation", under the pressure from the manager to let himself gradually plump, Then choose to seek another job.

In general, the "control-type parents" energy than the higher leadership is often more dignified and affinity, natural in the auto will appear to be inadequate. This situation is particularly evident in the large number of "free children" who enter the workplace after a high level of energy.

Control does not necessarily depend on mercy

Chatting here, it is estimated that some friends should be like the previous friends feel tangled, because they are really not a like to control the people, more in fact, "care-oriented parents" in the state to support and take care of others. If you have such personality characteristics, it can not be a character to establish the "majesty", but it is possible to rely on the rules of the enterprise itself and everyone has more or less a contractual awareness to implement the management work.

Specifically, if we are in the enterprise itself is a particularly well-organized organization, then the existing performance management and reward and punishment system can be guaranteed performance, and as a manager need to challenge their own place is absolutely not too "talk about human" and "embracing". Because a "care-oriented parents" higher managers always do not bear the hard system to "hurt" subordinates, always in many cases choose to "open a blind eye", if the long-run, these practices are actually to avoid. In other words, the "adult ego" in the body is the substitute for the "caring parents" who always have a motherly love to make decisions.

For those organizations that have not yet perfected the management system, there is nothing in itself that can be directly used in the rules, this time in fact, as a manager can be responsible for the long-term interests of everyone ("care-oriented parents" function) to everyone together, standing in the "adult self" angle together to develop a series of "majority recognition, Everyone must abide by the "common rules, and these rules should be refined to specific behavior and indicators, so that can be quantified (time, amount, etc.), and co-negotiation of rewards and punishments. After the set up, as a manager can become an urge to help everyone to perform their duties, and to do reward. Those who do not follow the rules that they are involved in, and who cause team performance to be affected, should consider making them active or passive out of the team for a long time, because such people do not have the minimum "contractual awareness" and are difficult to work under the current organizational structure, only to find another job.

On the whole, personality plays a great role in the management ability, but this does not mean that the managers in the organization only rely on the personality to carry out the management, because we have a variety of resources around can be combined and applied together.
