agreed with all professionals............
From my point of view A director should deal with a manger same like any superior deals with his employees (I mean the director needs the same attributes) with focus on giving only the headlines and let him handle it.
I will listen to him and I will give him all the tools, the help and the support.
I would expect from him to be as good as I'm.
I will be so happy and lucky if he is doing a better job than myself.
At first I 'll provide to him all the related and working documents (Job description,procedures,..)
Let him working with a minimum supervision just undertake a weekly meeting for the first trimestre then move to monthly meeting frequency .....
As a Director of a big Marketing Firm for example, if i had a Manager on my Marketing firm i would have to give him the chance to manage that firm for him to do his/her job then i evaluate their duties and responsibilities if they are really capable of the task and duties given based on the company's standard and rules and regulation. Beacause as for me a company that has a GOOD leader deserves a good employee..
Be a Positive Leader – You will set the tone for the entire staff in your department. If you are down and acting as if you are fighting against the world your staff will feel that same way. Your example is the personality reflected throughout the entire department. I expect you to be a positive leader. You are always setting an example for your staff to follow. Is it a good example, or a bad example?
Be a Follower – As the manager and leader it is your responsibility to see that everyone follows the procedures set by our management team. This is difficult at times, especially if you don’t agree with the procedures. You should share your opinions when the policy is being set. However, once the policy or procedure is set it is your responsibility to make sure it is followed.
Be a Teacher – Help your staff learn to do their job better. Share the workload without being the one who does all the work and keeps all the glory. Generally, people like to work hard and be a valuable contributor to the success of the business. After all, this is their place of employment too. They like to work for a successful business and they love to contribute to that success. Encourage them to learn more about their work. Give encouragement to those who perform well. Reprimand those who do not perform well. Nobody likes to work with a slacker. The workload has to be picked up by those who are performing well. It is not fair to punish people for doing their job well to cover for those who aren’t carrying their load.
Be a Student – Always schedule time to study. You must try to improve your personal performance by learning to do your job well. As a manager, your job is to accomplish the goals of the company through people. “Getting things done through people” is a complete description of a manager. Spend time reading and doing research to improve your management skills.
Change Everything – Never accept the answer “That is the way we have always done it.” Be willing to improve every way we do business. In order to remain competitive in today’s marketplace we must be ready to change the way we do business in an instant. Always look for a better way. Always justify the expense. Make the task more efficient. Make the task easier. Make the task less costly. Improve working conditions. Improve the quality. Always justify the expense. Always look for a better way.
Never Compromise Integrity - Always be fair. Treat staff and customers with respect. Treat them the way you expect to be treated. Always be honest. Never lie to a staff member, customer, supervisor or yourself. Always be nice. You can create enemies with your attitude. You can also create friends with your attitude. Always respect your staff. Loyalty and dedication to the job come from loyalty and dedication to the boss. These attributes come from the example you set. Are you loyal and dedicated? Most importantly, do you appear loyal and dedicated? Your actions are under constant scrutiny. Never speak a bad word about your staff, your customers or your company and its management.
I expect from my managers to follow my directions and/or add value, but not being an obstacle.
To manage a manager differs some how from managing employees. Managers have usually more resistance against upper orders, therefore you should be careful with how to deal with them. Communication, respect, feedback, discussions, leadership, responsible and plans should be some of the major terms that define the relationship between the director and his/her managers.
I should make him think in my way & then making my decisions as his decision. Then I would accept his decisions making him feel great, that would have a positive impact on his work.
By looking up how long he reach his goals and what way
