12 Tips for New Managers and Managers Who Want to Improve Results - Click To Read Article
The transition from individual contributor to Manager/Leader is difficult because a whole new mindset is required. You must now get work done through others, think from “Big Picture” to detail rather than the other way around and become an expert at delegation, which is a learned skill. People are very smart. They will always figure out your agenda because your actions speak louder than your words. Authoritarian management no longer works because people are too well informed and have many other choices. Under authoritarian management the best people will leave, poor performers will sabotage and mediocre performers will stop thinking and just follow the rules even if the rules are getting poor results. These 12 tips will help you to think through the transition.

Stop Tolerating Things that Drain away Your Time and Energy - Click To Read Article
Tolerations are like a dull headache or stiff neck that never quite goes away. You learn to live with it and each day you climb over the annoyance and get your work done anyway. It is not until something happens to remove the headache or stiff neck that you realize how much energy and pleasure has been sapped from your daily life. The sad thing is that, removing these tolerations is not all that hard or expensive, it just requires awareness and a decision to be done with “it” or “them” and taking action. So TODAY is the day and NOW is the time to uncover your tolerations and start reducing and eventually eliminating them from your life!

People are self-motivated. The task is to find out what needs and values motivate the individual internally, or more importantly, how to select people who will be naturally motivated by what the environment and job offers. Check out the list of questions to ask. It is an interesting paradox that as a parent, manager, supervisor, or owner, you can stifle motivation, but you cannot create it. If a person has been motivated in the past, but is not now, something may be going on at work or home which is stifling the person’s motivation.
