Managers..please don't make these mistakes...

Found an interesting reading in here. 

Top 10 Mistakes Managers Make Managing People

Many managers lack fundamental training in managing people. But, even more importantly, managers lack the values, sensitivity, and awareness needed to interact effectively all day long with people. Skills and techniques are easier to teach, but values, beliefs, and attitudes are much harder to teach - and harder for managers to learn. Yet, these are the underlying issues that will most make managers successful - or not.

How important is it to help managers succeed? Beyond description. Managers and how they manage their reporting staff set the tone for your entire business operation. Managers are the front line representation of your business. The majority of communication about the business is funneled through your managers. When employees resign, the top reason for their resignation is their relationship with their manager. People leave managers, not jobs or employers.

Select Managers for Managing People

In a job description for a manager, core job functions, traits, and abilities are listed. With this as a guide, manager selection should focus on both the management skills and the candidates cultural fit. Within the cultural fit component of your interview and selection process, a candidate for a manager position must demonstrate that he or she has beliefs, values, and a work style that are congruent with those of your organization.

In a people-oriented, forward looking organization, you'll want to select managers who exhibit these characteristics.

• Value people


• Believe in two-way, frequent effective communication and listening


• Want to create an environment in which employees are empowered to take charge of their jobs


• Able to hold people accountable and responsible without punitive measures


• Demonstrate leadership and clear direction


• Believe in teamwork


• Place the customer at the center of their reason for existence and regard reporting staff as customers

Mistakes Managers Make Managing

With all of this in mind about managers, preventing management mistakes and dumb decisions is paramount for a successful organization. Do you want to become a better manager? Here are the managing mistakes you most want to notice, prevent, and avoid.

• Fail to get to know employees as people:Developing a relationship with reporting employees is a key factor in managing. You don't want to be your employees' divorce counselor or therapist, but you do want to know what's happening in their lives. When you know where the employee is going on vacation or that his kids play soccer, you are taking a healthy interest in your employees' lives. Knowing that the dog died, expressing sympathy, or that her daughter won a coveted award at school make you an interested, involved boss. Knowing employees will make you a better manager, a manager who is more responsive to employee needs, moods, and life cycle events.


• Fail to provide clear direction: Managers fail to create standards and give people clear expectations so they know what they are supposed to do, and wonder why they fail. If you make every task a priority, people will soon believe that there are no priorities. More importantly, they will never feel as if they have accomplished a complete task or goal.
  
  Within your clear expectations, if you are either too rigid or too flexible, your reporting employees will feel rudderless. You need to achieve an appropriate balance that allows you to lead employees and provide direction without dictating and destroying employee empowerment and employee engagement.


• Fail to trust: When managers don't trust people to do their jobs, this lack of trust plays out in a number of injurious ways. Micromanaging is one example. Constant checking up is another. Treat people as if they are untrustworthy - watch them, track them, admonish them for every slight failing - because a few people are untrustworthy. Are you familiar with the old tenet that people live up to your expectations?


• Fail to listen to and help employees feel that their opinions are valued. Active listening is a critical management skill. You can train managers in listening skills but if the manager believes that listening is a way to demonstrate that he or she values people, training is usually unnecessary. Listening is providing recognition and demonstrating your values in action. When employees feel heard out and listened to, they feel important and respected. You will have much more information when you daily open the flood gates.


• Make decisions and then ask people for their input as if their feedback mattered. You can fool some of the people. but your best employees soon get the nature of your game and drop out. Along the same lines, create hierarchical permission steps and other roadblocks that teach people quickly that their ideas are subject to veto and wonder why no one has any suggestions for improvement. Enabling people to make decisions about their work is the heart of employee empowerment and the soul of employee engagement. Don't throttle them.


• Fail to react to problems and issues that will soon fester if ignored. Managers have a habit of hoping that an uncomfortable issue, employee conflict or disagreement will just go away on its own if they don't provoke it or try to resolve it. Trust me. It won't. Issues, especially among people, just get worse unless something in the mix changes. Proactive intervention from the manager to coach and mentor, or to make sure employees have the skills necessary to resolve the issue, is imperative. Drama and hysteria do interrupt productivity, motivation, and employee engagement.


• Trying to be friends with employees who report to you. You can develop warm and supportive relationships with employees who report to you. But, you will have difficulty separating the reporting relationship in a friendship. Friends gossip, go out together, and complain about work and the boss. There is no room for their manager in these kinds of relationships.


• Fail to communicate effectively and withhold important information. The best communication is transparent communication. Sure, some information is company confidential. You may have been asked to keep certain information under wraps for awhile, but aside from these rare occasions, share what you know.
  
  Being a member of the in-crowd is a goal for most employees and the in-crowd has information - all of the information needed to make good decisions. Ask for feedback, too. Ask people for their opinions, ideas, and continuous improvement suggestions, and if you fail to implement their suggestions, let them know why, or empower them to implement their ideas themselves.


• Not treating all employees equally. You don't necessarily have to treat every employee the same, but they must feel as if they receive equal treatment. The perception that you have pet employees or that you play favorites will undermine your efforts to manage people. This goes hand-in-hand with why befriending reporting employees is a bad idea. Employees who are not in your inner circle will always believe that you favor the employees who are - whether you do or not. This perception destroys teamwork and undermines productivity and success.


• Throw employees under the bus. Rather than taking responsibility for what goes wrong in the areas that you manage, blame particular employees when asked or confronted by executive leadership. When you know the responsibility is ultimately yours if you are the boss, why not act with dignity and protect your employees? When you blame employees, you look like an idiot and your employees will disrespect and hate you.
  
  Trust me. They will find out and they will never trust you again. They'll always be waiting for the other shoe to fall. Worst? They'll tell all of their employee friends about what you did. Your other staff members will then distrust you, too. Your senior managers will not respect you either. They will question whether you are capable of doing the job and leading the team. When you throw your employees under the bus, you jeopardize your career - not theirs. And, it won't remove one iota of the blame from your shoulders.

My wedding ceremony

        Alhamdulillah..skang dh almost sebulan bergelar sorg isteri kepada sorg lelaki bernama Mohd Shahir Abdullah . Love u abang...hihi..malu plak..jarang menunjukkn affectionate di khalayak ramai.

Solemnization adalah pada 31.08.2012 (merdeka kawin raya...combo semuanya..kelas giteww)
Reception di Kedah pada  01.09.2012 (birthday en.hubby..)
Reception di Taiping pada 02.09.2012 (sehari selepas birthday en.hubby...nak jugak..haha)

Pendek kata, mmg penat la ckp kau. Straight 3 days non-stop sib baik tak pengsan ja. Ada pro n con la buat terus straight. Ikut suka hati masing-masing lah nanti. Macam mana plan cuti masing-masing and family agreement from both side.

Eventhough penat kan, aku and hubby mmg berpuas hati dgn segala persiapan. Dari baju pengantin, make-up, photography, catering, and saudara mara yg tk jemu2 tolong. Mmg terima kasih tak terhingga lah pd semua.

Kat sini aku nak promote lah perkhidmatan2 yg aku gunakan time kenduri kawin aritu. Bila customer satisfied, of kos kita akan war war kan untuk orang ramai. Membantu bisnes kita sesama melayu nih..

Solemnization dan Reception both side (include make-up) - Butik Kamarul dan Yani
Komen - makeup abg kamarul mmg tk dapat nk dinafikan lagi...sememangnya GORGEOUS...tkyah nak risau2. Mmg puas hati. Hiasan bilik pengantin, pelamin, meja hidang, semuanya menepati cita rasa. Dulu kenduri kawin abg aku pon amik service abg kamarul and kak yani. And time tu mmg aku dh berhajat dah dlm hati nak amik service abg kamarul jugak sbb mmg puas hati tgk dia buat utk kenduri abg aku dlu tu kn.

Photography sebelah Kedah - Unik Photographer

Komen - mmg puas hati jugak. Klau tak caya cer try klik website depa. Gambar mmg lawa2. And depa jugak akan guide kita posing2 apa yg cun. So don't worry if kita tk reti nk posing ala model kan. And they know how to make us look like a model...(gaya miss J ckp)

Photography sebelah Taiping - Impian ST. studio

Komen - Ini photography mmber ofis aku. Keja part time dia. I don't have the link to their site but depa ada fb. So sila la LIKE fb depa na. Mmg nice jugak picture2 depa. Mcm majlis aku haritu, bila dah straight kenduri hari ketiga tu mmg masing2 dah penat gila la. And kami pon decide malas nk buat outdoor session. Tapi depa pandai amik gambaq2 candid kami and make it look nice too...mmg puas hati.

Catering sebelah Kedah - Catering plak parents aku yg uruskn. Wafti Catering. Catering yg sama dgn abg sulung aku. So kami ni mmg repeat customer la.
