Rules of Management!

Hier wieder mal einige Vorschläge, wie man sein Team wirklich motivieren kann:

• Get them emotionally involved
• Know what a team is and how it works
• Set realistic targets – no, really realistic
• Hold effective meetings – no, really effective
• Make meetings fun
• Make your team better than you
• Offload as much as you can – or dare
• Let them make mistakes
• Accept their limitations
• Encourage people
• Be very, very good at finding the right people
• Keep track of everything you do and say
• Fight for your team
• Have and show trust in your staff
• Respect individual differences
• Listen to ideas from others
• Ensure people know exactly what is expected of them

Und weil ich gerade dabei bin: Selbstmanagement:

• Get it done/work hard
• Set an example/standards
• Enjoy yourself
• Don’t let it get you down
• Be consistent
• Set realistic targets for yourself – no, really realistic
• Have a game plan, but keep it secret
• Learn from your mistakes
• Be ready to unlearn – what works changes
• Have a Plan B and a Plan C
• Capitalize on chance – be lucky, but never admit it
• Recognize when you’re stressed
• Manage your health
• Be prepared for the pain and pleasure
• Be decisive, even if it means being wrong sometimes
• Have principles and stick to them
• Follow your intuition/gut instinct
• Remember that none of us has to be here
• Don’t bad-mouth your boss
• Don’t bad-mouth your team
• Accept that some things the bosses tell you to do will be completely wrong
• Accept that the bosses are as scared as you are at times
• Show that you’ll fight to the death for your team
• Aim for respect rather than being liked
• Seek feedback on your performance
• Be in command and take control
• Be a diplomat for the company

Und wenn ich nur jeden Tag merke, dass ich etwas davon gemacht habe, dann war es ein guter Tag.
