Some managers under my leadership were endowed with some of the above traits if not all. Collectively the team made up for each other’s  short comings and the overall result was more than satisfactory and well above the set targets.

 

 

Great Managers Lead, Motivate, Inspire, Mentor, Guide,Steer, Listen, Sympathise, Discipline, Counsel, in a word they MANAGE. My own particular ethos was to use the "carrot" method of management but I was prepared to use the "stick" if I thought someone was trying to take advantage of my more "laid back" approach!!

Inspire them.

Inspiration is the first and most important factor for motivation.

1. Develop their people

2. Take full responsibilities of the team

3. Inspire and encourage

4. Respect and treat everyone equal

5. Inspire the team

6. They are approachable

Great Managers Play Chess 

Great managers capitalize on each person’s unique qualities. In checkers all the pieces move the same way, but in chess there are different pieces that move in different ways. Great managers discover what makes each person unique and then takes steps to leverage each person’s unique talents for their group.

Top Five Tasks of a Great Manager 

 Work is broken down into work centers or groups that are led by a manager of that group.

 A manager’s job is to “get the work done” but not necessarily do the work.

 Here are the top five tasks of a Great manager.

1.Set Priorities

2.Organize Work

3.Communicate

4.Measure Performance

5.Develop their People

They turn one person’s particular talent into performance.

Great managers create career development urge in team, the appropriate move in this regard would be "suggesting a pattern of career mapping with three core attributes i.e. Achievements, Innovation and Professional development. This will lead team fellows to contribute exceptional performance and even they seem completing tough tasks as well.

 

Another most important point is, the Manager needs to work on self-development particularly for crisis management being calm and composed, as most of the times team/team fellows look forward to having this attention and prompt support from his/her leader, the Manager.

Great managers demonstrate and play a Leadership role actively with clear vision and direct his team to ensure NOT to let down the organisation and hold the reputation of the Group constructively and jointly.

Supporting the team in achieving the Organizational Objectives.

 

Great Managers organise the resources of the organisation to strengthen its footings and reboot its revenue by playing the chess. They make policies and procedures to safeguard the entity from risks and protect from complications. They align the production with the sales targets and controls the variances with organisations interest. They manage the resources for maximum utilisation by keeping them update.
