5 Simple Management Hacks

There are a few simple things to go by in a management role that will make your life easier. Don’t overthink how to manage employees; keep things simple and understanding so employees have a clear vision of expectations and results.

Rule #1:??Be honest. Do not sugarcoat details or results to employees. Be upfront with them and expect the same in return.

Rule #2:?Never lie.?

If you do, your team will fall apart in no time. Employees like the truth, even if it hurts.

Rule #3:?Admit when you are wrong or messed something up. No one is perfect, and everyone makes mistakes. Let them know you are human. If you messed something up or got the wrong information, own it, move forward and make the changes needed to fix it.

Rule #4:?Respect employees’ time. Wasting employees’ time takes away from production time throughout the day. Do not set meetings up that pull team members away from daily tasks unless it is necessary. Also, never be late; it is disrespectful.

Rule #5:?Everyone needs to be managed a little differently. Don’t expect Johhny to be managed the same way Kim is. The quicker you learn how people receive information and do their tasks, the stronger your team will become.

Following these simple rules in management will make your life easier. Don’t overcomplicate things…
