As my interest in management and team leading is growing and, in my spare time, I’m reading more and more books about these 2 topics, I thought it might be good idea to use my blog as a future reference.
They will be brought together under the title: study references
I read a quite interesting article on how to be a good team leader, or how to be a good people manager to be more specific. It basically comes down to a few pointers:
- If you ever had one or more colleagues that you looked up to, try to copy their positive characteristics and use them in your own experiences.
- Get involved in the work your employees do, and don’t do it the dictator style. In the long run, this will get your employees to work harder for you without having the boss-fear-factor.
- Think before you talk, the mentioned Chinese proverb says it all: “If you are patient in one moment of anger, you will escape a hundred days of sorrow.”
- Try to build a network of people that can be a ‘personal advisory board’.
Those are, for me, in first instance the most important points that were mentioned in the document. Others are not less important but are self-evident, like the fact that you need to become the best you can be. This is not only for the role of manager, but in every job, if you want to build out some kind of career.
