101 open deuren voor managers

Mocht je het als manager in deze barre tijden echt niet meer weten of een 'boost of confidence' nodig hebben, kun altijd nog The Manager's Cheat Sheet pakken. In totaal 101 open deuren (en wellicht een paar nieuwe deuren), die je versteld zullen doen staan  hoeveel kennis je eigenlijk hebt.

Een aantal open deuren:
1. Stand tall. Keeping your shoulders back and holding yourself up to your full height will give you an air of confidence.
14. Delegate tasks. Spread work among your employees in a way that doesn't leave anyone overburdened while also allowing the project work smoothly.
31. Provide motivation. Sometimes employees need a morale boost. Provide them with encouragement to get a project rolling.
79. Identify the positives. Even the most negative changes can have positive aspects to them. Being able to identify and maximize them can help make adapting less painful.
93. Lead by example. You can talk until you're blue in the face, but the best way to get a point across is to be the model to emulate. Let employees follow your lead.
98. Be unique as a manager. Every position demands something different and you should be proud to be adept at your particular role rather than trying to emulate other managers.


Maar ook:
75. Don't be afraid to say you don't know. It's OK not to know the answer to every question. It's better to say you don't know and get back to a customer than to try to bluff your way through a conversation and have to backtrack later.
89. Get the facts first. Before you pass judgment on a situation, make sure you have the whole story. Listen to employees and refrain from questioning anyone's integrity without first ensuring that you've gathered all the data.
99. Remember that ethics matter above all. Be honest and reliable in all of your business and personal relationships.
