Very often insufficient emphasis is given to avoiding mistakes which not only affect productivity but also the working environment. The truth is that mangers do make mistakes which at times not only affect the performance of their departments but the morale of the employees as well. The key for a good manger is to ensure that his personal mistakes are kept to a minimum. Here is how:
Keep abreast of developments in your field. Subscribe to industry journals, obtain further education and network with people from your field who work for other organizations.
Always welcome tough assignments and increased responsibilities; not only will you enhance your confidence, you will also develop professionally.
Do everything to make sure the right decision is made. Ask yourself questions related to the problems, whatever you have the required information to make a decision and what the consequences of inaction will be.
Once you have made a decision carry it out without about the outcome. Remember that although it might feel good to be liked by your employees, it is far more important to be respected by them.
Ask employees for their ideas and opinions. This lets them know that what they think matters and as a result they will work harder when they feel they are contributing to the organization success.
If you need to be critical, suggest specific steps to prevent a mistake from reoccurring. Constructive criticism can result I peak production, performance and profits. Learn to share responsibility for the mistake and listen to the other side of the story, too. Above all, forgive and forget.
Most personnel problem comes from employees not having enough information about what management has done and why or what is expected of them. Keep employees updated and let them know exactly what you want them to do.
