  1. Open to suggestions to add value to any project in the preliminary stage
  2. Assigning tasks per person by professional strength and personal inclination
  3. Grouping the team into sub groups if possible to help team bonding
  4. A realistic draft of timelines and updates on a daily base & meetings on a weekly basis (if the project is45 day long for instance) to make sure we're heading in the right direction.
  5. Re-evaluation of the progress if we're not meeting the pre-defined timelines & coaching any weaklings in the team to ensure we meet our deadlines.

At the end of the day its about defining the steps that need to be taken to complete the assigned task and ensure everyone does their bit to complete that task on time.

I am a great believer in the adage: "Look after your staff, they are your most valuable asset", a doctrine that was instilled in me during military service. If you asked a cavalry officer what his priorities were he would reply "Horses, men, self"! I like to think that my staff trust and respect me and know that I will always have their best interests at heart. They also know that should they let me down then I have the resolve and strength of character to let them know in no uncertain terms that I am "displeased" and they will face the consequences. My style of management? Firm but fair.

I’m a big fan of Lead Management as opposed to Boss (or Bossy) Management. I believe that the first establishes natural authority, leadership by example and respect through understanding while the second will mostly establish authoritarianism, leadership through imposition & respect through fear.

 

Lead management features

  1. Engagement, listening, encouragement & a matching reward system for subordinates.
  2. Clear-expectations models, increasing autonomy, self control & self-evaluation over own tasks.
  3. Promotion of continuous improvement & facilitation of high-productivity & job enjoyment.
  4. There is no fear of becoming friends of subordinates, as friends always do more for each other.

Ps: management can be less simple in different cultural contexts, especially in relation to high power distance cultures & low power distance cultures. A bossy manager in the Netherlands or Sweden will fail, while he/she may actually succeed in the US or India (am I right about India?)

1. First to be open minded and to have patience and listen to everybody's point of view.

2. Assign tasks to people according to their strengths and desries rather than randomness.

3. Encouragement to work in groups as two heads is better than one.

4. Set scheduled meetings to make sure whether we are on the right path.

5. Encourage people to learn atleast one skill in other field of their choice so that they dont become           redundant.

6. Last but not the least believe in the fact that the Organization/ Company is dependent on its                     employeesand not the other way around.
