Six-Point suggestions for management beginners

2011-07-

Font Without any training, I was pushed to my management position. I became a news agency's chief of the Agency and managed a group of reporters. I suspect most managers have had such experiences. You are still being managed the day before, and you will be managing others the day after. What should you do? This is an experience that gave me the chance to submit a ticket eight years ago. In many ways, this is still the case. However, after a period of time, I learned the lessons of failure to mess up things, tried to remember the moments of success, and benefited from the observations I have developed over the years, I have summarized some practical experiences on management (which is totally different from the management practices that people who write management books often say ). One of them is that the management skills required by different companies for the same job have many similarities, even for companies in different industries. When I started my role as a manager, I was hoping someone could give me some advice. So now I want to pass on these suggestions to new managers, I hope to help them avoid some obvious traps that I once fell. The following are my six-point suggestions: 1. You know more than you think. Yes, no one provides you with training. However, you have received several years of training in some aspects. Take some time to think about your favorite managers and managers you hate. Think about how they treat you: are they enthusiastic supportive leaders (good managers) or all sorts of picky office bureaucrats (Bad managers )? Do they regard you as a colleague with equal relationships (good managers) or a primary school student who is unwilling to tame (Bad managers )? Do they openly publish bad news and criticism (good managers), or do they adopt deception to conceal the bad truth (Bad managers )? List A list of managers who are both good and bad. When you are doing management, always think about these people. Even if the environment is different, you can follow the work style of managers you like. 2. It is a good thing to make people like it, but you don't have to deliberately please. You must have heard of the phrase "respected is better than liked. This is a meaningless comparison, because it makes people think that the two are mutually exclusive. This sentence means that in real life, if you want to gain the respect of others, it is annoying. This approach may be appreciated by some type of PE teachers, but it is a very useless guiding principle for middle managers. It can be said that the greatest temptation to manage activities is to try to become friends of everyone. Many of our growth experiences and social behaviors have linked us with our successes and likes. However, if you turn your liking into your management traits, it is doomed to be counterproductive: your performance will be messy and will eventually become annoying. Watch the English comedy "the office" Office), you can understand what I mean. Another ridiculous argument that will make people like to argue against people with respect is that you cannot make sure you get one of these two benefits through your own actions; people's liking and respect depend entirely on what people think of you. It is best to focus on what you can control, such as your management style and the way you handle problems. Then you can hope (ideally) that you can enjoy and respect yourself at the same time, but this is basically determined by others. 3. People do not mind being managed by themselves. You can easily think this way: As you are a beginner in management, no one is willing to do what you say. Therefore, you are always very cautious when asking your subordinates to do things or give instructions. This may be better than anything without interference or arrogance. However, this approach ignores an important factor: the value orientation and engagement of most employees come from their managers. In fact, they sometimes strongly demand such guidance, to help them do their best. This should be your final goal. Therefore, provide them with such help. After learning this, you will also find that some people hate to be managed. This kind of emotion may target anyone, maybe only you. Be compassionate to them, but stop at it and not turn their requests or resentment over the boundaries into complaints. If you keep listening and do not take action, these people will consume your time. These times are not spent on competent and non-Complaining employees, which can make yourself and these good employees feel frustrated. The worst thing is that this will make troublesome employees look more valuable because they get more attention from the management. 4. If you want to arouse others' enthusiasm for something, you must first show your enthusiasm. The best bosses I 've ever met are no less excited than me on major news topics, not only in a meeting, it is also manifested in tracking incident progress, inquiring about important interviews, sharing disappointing setbacks and celebrating breakthroughs. This is a valuable lesson. As a manager, you must communicate with subordinates at any time. Even if the work of many people is not isolated from each other, it can at least be said to be isolated from each other. Sometimes it is even laborious and thankless to change this point, and they share the same joys and sorrows, which can bring a turning point for things. This can also benefit managers themselves. As a journalist, there may be only two possibilities of life: If you discover a major news subject, life is wonderful; if you don't, life is terrible. Management Work will not bring you such a single and clear climax and low tide. There are always hopeful tasks at any time, but at the same time, there are always unpleasant tasks to complete. Therefore, when success comes, enjoy and celebrate. 5. Be honest. It is better to disclose bad news in an honest manner. Previously, when I sent messages to my subordinates, I wasted a lot of time trying to figure out how to be more euphemistic. The final result is, people talking to me are more confused and overly worried about what is happening. I thought I was helping them, but it actually caused a lot of inconvenience to them. It would be nice to be sophisticated and smooth, but it is also important to communicate clearly. As a result, the party receiving the information will feel that they have been informed of the ins and outs of the entire incident and the causes and consequences. People often resist changes, but in fact their adaptability is almost endless. 6. You need to keep improving. Even after reading all these suggestions, I was surprised how far away I was from these standards. But I hope this is better than thinking that I have understood everything. Once you start to feel this way, it may indicate that you have stopped working hard or become tired of the daily challenges that management brings to you. In this case, you should pay the price soon.
