Recently, I met with the middle level of several large factories and talked about: What kind of people can become good leaders?
Is it the most capable of fighting? The one that takes care of everyone the most? Or rushing to the front?
Neither.
In my observation, before the age of 36, good managers tend to have several traits:
1. Be able to lead the team to win the battle, but also carry the defeat
2, let people love and hate, the devil at work, the warm baby in life
3, so that the team is always in a state of upgrading, salary upgrade, but also upgrade the ability
But in fact, I know a lot of team leaders, and every time I talk about leading the team, I have a bitter stomach:
The work efficiency of the people at the bottom is so low that they are not willing to work overtime; the ability is not necessarily strong, but the ability to lift the bar is one by one; they also have to take into account the situation of each job and take care of everyone's emotions...
Obviously, he is not the fire captain, but he has to worry about 365 days and nights, carrying the bottom for everyone in the team and carrying the weight forward.
01
I had a colleague before, who rarely made mistakes, and every job paid 2 times more effort than others, and everyone's evaluation of him was 2 words: reliable.
It was not easy to get promoted, and his income also increased a lot, but he was more painful than before:
Often the work is assigned, the subordinate is busy for a day, do not know what they are busy with;
Asked about the progress of the work, 2 hours later replied: still in progress... him to death!
Once, because the team had several people with low efficiency and lack of communication, the key projects of the department were almost postponed, and he had to work overtime all weekend, changing the plan, doing PPT, docking Party A, and fighting fires everywhere...
When the project was finally finalized on Sunday night, all the project members complained bitterly, accusing his team of being unreliable.
What's even more outrageous is that in the 360-degree performance appraisal in the new quarter, the subordinates gave him the lowest grade, and everyone else was stupid!
At that moment, he felt unprecedentedly tired, even a little cold, and he worked hard for the team, in exchange for this result: I regret that I chose to do management!
He was in a slump for a while, until one day the department leader came to him for dinner, a few glasses of wine and a conversation opened, and the leader pointed out his problem to the point:
"Your problem is that your laziness comes in a diligent way."
- Right, you need to understand the leader's intentions and consider the core objectives, resources, and risks of each thing;
- Next, you have to disassemble the goal, let the team members form a synergy, and be willing to work towards the goal
"Lead your team to form a 1+1 greater than 3 human effect, and your diligence should be used in these places." Instead of being a babysitter and taking everything into your own hands. This is called manager laziness! ”
02
These words, like a lightning strike, completely made him wake up and realize the problem: he did not know how to manage at all.
Once, a new intern wrote a good manuscript, and he remembered that a senior said that the secret of leading a team was: praise more people, at least 3 people a day!
He praised very seriously: "I can see that this time I have really worked hard, especially the creative part is better than I expected before, I am looking forward to your follow-up works, continue to cheer ha!" ”
Unexpectedly, the greatly encouraged interns were like unlocking the seal, and the next few weeks were full of motivation and creativity.
It was then that he discovered that the management method was the best magic to cure this tired workplace, and the manager was the wizard who wielded his wand.
Like a freshman at Hogwarts, he greedily assimilated a variety of useful management techniques and methods:
For example, at the business level —
He began to pay more attention to goals, results and efficiency, first using the OKR working method, setting consistent goals with the superiors and subordinates, and then making a business plan promotion table, and implementing each thing to a specific person and time.
In this way, it is clear who should do what and what the final result will be.
The priorities of things are arranged, or will there be problems, what to do? Do the recap!
Using scientific review methods such as GRII and ORID, no matter how small things are, you can summarize effective experience and reduce the possibility of making mistakes.
There is also a set of effective methods for energy management.
He let everyone in the team use time management methods such as GTD and time logs to find their own golden time, use the best time to do the most suitable things, the time is arranged in an orderly manner, the relaxation is measured, and the efficiency is naturally increased by 1 times.
You can even create a flow experience, reduce interference from others, and use MEPS behavioral interventions to completely cut off procrastination!
In addition to these, his greatest fear is communication!
Communicating with people will greatly consume their emotions and time, often chatting with more than a dozen or twenty people at the end of the day, but feeling that nothing has been done.
Using the RPF Listening Method +4A Communication Method, he gradually learned barrier-free communication, and everyone who interacted with him felt particularly comfortable and smooth! Not only is the project easier to advance, but even the superiors are more appreciative!
Later, he was promoted in 3 years and became the youngest director of the company, and then he understood:
A good manager is like a good sharp knife, others will become the sheath of the knife to take the initiative to cooperate with you, and difficulties will take the initiative to make way for you.
03
As a senior said: to evaluate the quality of a manager, it is never to look at the evaluation of subordinates, but to see the final achievements.
You should do everything you can to help your team members grow, get a bigger stage, have a more decent income and life, and make them feel like they are following the right people.
This is worthy of being called "boss"!
So, without experience, lack of methods, and no guidance, how to get through this period of management confusion?
I've talked to hundreds of great managers in all walks of life, and they all mentioned giving themselves a manager development plan:
(1) Role positioning
Through personality and ability assessment, get to know yourself comprehensively, find the right career path and management style. At the same time, it helps subordinates find personal strengths, personalities, and needs, so that people can make the best use of their talents.
(2) Business & Team Management
Establish a manager competency model, through the goal - grasp the process - to get the results, so that the business results are clearly visible, to create a high-performance team.
(3) Team communication & upward communication
Learn to listen properly, master effective communication skills, and smoothly promote cross-departmental collaboration so that you are no longer alone.
(4) Efficiency & Energy Management
Learn at least 10 scientific tools, improve the effectiveness of work/management, spend time on the cutting edge, and truly learn to do more with less.
When you have a thorough understanding of this set of manager development plans, you can develop a clear action plan, promote the business at the lowest cost, and exert 1 point of effort to produce 10 points of results.
I asked about this friend's class, "Wind Change | Manager Development Program]. The management methods mentioned earlier can be learned in this set of courses.
Everyone should have heard about the wind change, their Python small class, in 2020, the whole network, there have been 4 million + students, deeply loved by people from all walks of life.
