Being in charge can be exhilarating, frustrating and challenging sometimes all in the space of a single hour. But whether you're a small business owner or working as a manager for someone else, being the one in charge is always busy. It's understandably tempting to cut some corners so you can fit more into your busy schedule.

 

  1. Set a bad example.

  2. Neglect to praise someone for good performance.

  3. Not bother to properly train staff.

  4. Not explain or show how to do something when someone’s asked for help.

  5. Discriminate

  6. Unethical

  7. Favoritism

Manager is the face of the business. He represents the face of the company infront of all others. He must give a good example, be optimistic, enagourage and lift oters when there are chalanges give motivational speaches and promote a job well done.

          For me things that a manger should never do are the oposit of the above.

1. Appear shallow and pesimistic.

2. Should never think about failier.

3. Not recogniza a job well done 

4. Distance himself from the team.

In my point of view (( Think that he / she know everything )) meaning every one learn day after day or even second after second , by sequence the manager can't never and ever fall down of feeling he reached the top as every second he / she can learn anything even from lower level till the top management.

Once in an Intensive care unit in a major hospital I saw a sign at the doctors office saying " Are you a part of the solution or a part of the problem?:

A manager should give solutions to problems and  definately not create new ones.He must not confuse its team and must take right decisions at the right timing.Also he must take his responsibilities and not blamimg other employees for his mistakes or weaknesses.
