Mentoring Management Commandments

 

My experience as a business mentor has shown that no matter what the SME business, the owner/MD has the same issues. These are usually

 

v      Lack of a plan

v      Lack of trust of their team

v      Working too hard at doing the job

v      Not planning or directing the business

 

In response I developed the following commandments for MD’s to have on their walls; I share them with you.

Thou Shalt

 

v      Commit to a plan and stick to it

 

v      Set clear, measurable objectives with timescales for the company and the team

 

v      Involve your board and management (team) in the plan so they can own the objectives

 

v      Listen to your team

 

v      Have regular reviews on plan performance

 

v      Only get involved if the plan is not being met

 

v      Understand others are not as talented as you and that you need them

 

v      Let them make mistakes; it is reasonable and how they will learn

 

v      Become an adviser not a doer

 

v      Focus on your role agreed in the plan

 

v      Enjoy Change


 

Thou Shalt Not

 

v      Change the plan unless in dire need

            

v      Change the objectives without consultation

 

v      Make decisions without consultation

 

v      Do things for others

 

v      Get impatient
