When you first became a manager, what did you struggle with the most? How did you solve your struggle?

smooth and big thinking is the better way

root cause analysis and fault tree could solve this issue

Dear Amani,

Thanks for your kind invitation.

We must first recognize the important elements that must be met by any Manager: the person who came to the position of Director must have a lot of experience with a set of tools that have to be with him to help him in dealing with different personalities and workgroup management and also dealing with difficult situations that inevitably will encounter. 

-          Must have certificates and advanced courses and variety.

-           The features of culture, decency and good conduct and promptitude.

-           Language proficiency and the use of technology.

-           Must have a strong personality,  fun and easy to handle.

-          Must have good vision and to be able to develop future action plans.

-          Must have strong leadership and good personal guiding individuals and also a good decision.

 

 

In my opinion any person can have the above mentioned must be a Manager and will be a very successful manager.

And also he can solve any problem he will face

kind of fighting to keep the management organizational effective , by development solutions to ensure that the work flow is going as planned job alert.

 

I wouldn't say it was a struggle, but rather a challenge to keep operations running smoothly and/or implement your own ideas without compromising the development and stability of the business.

 very interesting ...

You took me to my past... :(

the biggest problem for me was, i was very busy on those golden days, i don't have time for meeting for planning. i was very badly stuck in routine tasks.. i tried to fix things by time management, by working late night but could not get out of it...

then 

one day i realized, i am doing more tasks then my team members or i am doing every thing.

I gradually realize, i am not using my team... and that was a good news for me.

so,

i started using my team, develop their KPIs for every team member. that lead me to deliver more and better.. i came out of this situation after working on following line.

USE YOUR TEAM TO INCREASE EFFICIENCY AND IMPROVE QUALITY OF SERVICE>  

Thanks for inviting me for the answer

This is very interesting experience which keeps happening not only when you become manager for the first time but every time when your role changes

 

Most of the time , you are supposed to lead a team which has older employees; older in age, experience or both.  

The biggest challenge during this time is to get acceptance by your team.

Even if some of the team members might pretend to accept the new manager but unless the entire (or most of the)team accepts the new manager as his leader wholeheartedly, performance from this team will always be under threat

To win over the new team, new manager has to carefully tread the path, some of the steps are as under:

1) Let the manager Give some time to himself to understand the team, job and circumstances

2) He shouldn't rush to bring the change altogether

3) Understand SOPs, KPI's and deliverables of each and every member of the team

4) Start working with the team in such a way that you are seen adding value to the team and not as a hurdle

5)  meaningful , relevant knowledge, transparency, honesty, hard work with a  human heart are some the most effective tools which help winning over team

6) Every team has some tough nuts to crack. As long as their actions are within tolerable norms, manager should try to defer confronting them head on in the initial phase 

7) Manager being superior of tough guys, he will sooner or later gets enough opportunities to exercise his authority over team. As a manager, he must communicate clearly to the team soon that entire team has to work towards only one objective in line with organisational objectives.

8) Once the manager gets some grip over his role, he should not shy away confronting tough guys of his team as well to convey explicitly that he means only business

 

 

The most conflict he faced was with the director of the legal affairs department in terms of characterization of some articles of the labor law relating to employees contracts, annual allowance and the period of promotion

I believe that becoming a new manager has many challenges, which in my own opinion can be summerized in these few following points. As a new manager, your main task is to motivate the employees under you. It’s hard for the employees to be motivated if you have no clear directions. Often, a lack of clarity on the job causes confusion between employee and manager, leading to disappointment on both sides. The best thing you can do to fix all of this is to set clear goals that align everyone on the team. One more challenge is the Poor Time Management This is a tough one for new managers. Because in addition to managing your own tasks, you have to manage an entire team, The best piece of advice for new managers is to block time off on your own calendar. So to make it clear to employees that there are certain times that are only for you. Also one of the hardest challenges being a new manager is Hiring. Hiring is especially tough for new managers that have never done this before, because bringing someone onto the team is a big decision. Even more difficult than hiring is firing an employee. This is a tough one, and it’s hard to find perfect advice for this. The best advice is if you make it a team decision. This is of course in addition to many other hard challenges that one may face when becoming a new manager.

Delays, absences and completion of work and analyzed by follow-up and pressure on employees indirectly

 

 

This is big transformation - you need to transform into Manger than being doer and make sure sure apply your knowledge of management into practice then you should be ok - it will be roller coster in the start but you should be ok bit later on.
