When it comes to being a good manager, there really aren’t any quick fixes, says Jim Clemmer, management team developer and author (
). Here are five of his common-sense tips he recommends to get you going in the right direction:
- Continuous improvement. Always asking yourself if what is being done is the right thing and if it is, is it being done in the right way?
- Laughter and fun. High performers often have highly developed senses of humor. They want to have fun, and they’re playful in their lives.
- Keeping it real. Alignment between who you really are and where you’re taking your team. Whoever you are, your team will be at least partially a reflection of that.
- Taking action. You act your way into new ways of thinking more easily than you think your way into new ways of acting.
- You blaze your own improvement path. There is not a right or wrong path; the most important thing is that you have an improvement plan or process.
