- kingkongjaffa 8y agoHighly recommend to start here: https://www.manager-tools.com/map-of-the-universe#1186 https://www.manager-tools.com/map-of-the-universe#1186 The manager tools "hall of fame podcasts". The manager tools podcast gives you actionable advice on being a good manager. Based on the fundamental idea that what defines a good manager is 2 things: Results and Retention. the manager tools concepts revolve around 4 key activities and principles. 1. one on ones 2. coaching 3. feedback 4. delegation Focusing on these builds trust, facilitates mentor ship, builds an environment for improvement, and asking for more. The crux is that one-on-ones are a set format they they advocate that put's the focus on the direct report.
- watwut 8y agoNot him, but good bosses I had listened what people said and treated people fairly even when they did not liked them. The latter also means that people who criticize things are not retaliated against in any way. Note that listening does not mean agreeing nor doing exactly what employee said. It does not even mean trusting it all, because people do lie or make mistakes. It means that they knew what was said, thought about it, checked and verified it and allowed it to change their opinions based on result of said check. The technical aspects like delegation, task assignment and general organization pretty much follows and are dependent on listening. Meanwhile, the boss who did not listened to people ended up with mess, because she ended up not knowing what is going on and solving non-existing problems (while ignoring real ones).
