A two very simple steps to easy and effective management, which may help.
1) For every decision you have to make, from the smallest to the largest, before opening your mouth consider three things: The individual, the team and the objective. If you try to ensure these three areas remain happy or at least none are disgruntled by your decisions you will ensure solid even progress. If any of the three are out of place it will ultimately fall down. (Sounds daft but this really does work, think of three overlapping circles with the individual, the team and the objective in them, and consider if your decisions push away a circle or not.
2) People are dogs, supervisors are terriers and managers are German shepherds - They cant wait for a reason to bark! young or old when in awkward situations with managers, let them talk, rant, shout or just whinge, and whilst they fire off all their ammunition, you can prepare your calm, well calculated responses, ready to answer their queries in a relaxed helpful and informative manner. Let them get it all out, then answer all their problems.... they will leave you relaxed and relatively problem free. |
