Learn to be a manager, and you will grow up without three things.

Learn the three noes of being a manager. We know that it is not easy to be an excellent manager, because managers need to have management wisdom and excellent ability. If you want to be an excellent manager, let's take a look at the three noes of learning to be a manager!

Learning to grow as a manager requires both wisdom and ability. Ability is your own skill, and wisdom is basically learned from experience. The cheapest way is to learn from other people's mistakes. Of course, more depends on your own understanding and summary.

Looking back on my journey as a middle-level manager, I have thought deeply about many problems that I never thought about.

In fact, all the truth is very simple and clear, but it is often ignored. This article contains real ideas, a little experience, more lessons and thoughts, hoping to help all friends who are interested in management.

1, the hero can't do it.

When I was young, I really wanted to be a hero. I have been looking forward to what kind of accident can show my calmness and ingenuity, and even wonder why this opportunity has not come yet.

Blindly think that as a hero, as long as he has good ideas, he will have good results, but he often ignores more important aspects such as choosing the right time and adopting the right way.

Whenever practice fails, you don't reflect on yourself, but complain that others don't understand you. Imagine yourself as a quasi-hero, ambitious and idealistic, but I didn't show it.

When some upright elders kindly remind them, although they don't refute them on the surface, they have an evaluation of "outsiders can see clearly" in their hearts.

After hitting the wall many times, I will gradually understand a little reality. The first consideration is to do a good job in a down-to-earth manner, not whether I can show heroism.

Until now, I didn't understand what Montaigne, a French writer, said: "Glory comes to us completely by accident, and it depends entirely on the capriciousness of glory itself". People who want to be heroes usually end in tragedy.

If you want to do something, don't want to be a big hero. Those who really achieve something are those who are hard-working, thoughtful, good at mobilizing all kinds of resources and cautious.

2. Never take shortcuts.

Theoretically, people who want to take shortcuts are conceited, and with a little luck, they may think that others can't. As a book says, "life is like a battlefield, and the shortcut is a minefield." Shortcut is a truth that will be understood at great cost.

Without down-to-earth efforts, it is impossible to take shortcuts. Even if you are lucky enough to succeed, it is only temporary, and then you are likely to pay a heavy price.

As far as life is concerned, you can't do without a goal. But divorced from reality, it is necessary to resist fate, especially those who want to take shortcuts instead of taking the road that is beneficial to them, and will be punished.

Specifically, calm leaders can win the final victory, because when faced with difficulties, they will not act rashly, but will calmly try to solve them. Based on a clear understanding of complexity, rather than thinking about superb skills or shortcuts.

Divide the field personnel into several small steps, one step at a time, always reflect on what they have learned and decide what to do next. Although it seems stupid, it is the most effective way to succeed.

Don't despise trifles.

I used to be like young people in Switzerland. I usually have two extreme attitudes towards things, either too difficult or too troublesome to do; Either it's a trivial matter or it's too simple to do. Regarding the former, in fact, only by mastering skills can we achieve our goals step by step, no matter how difficult it is;

Regarding the latter, there is no trivial matter in the world, just because many problems seem plain and simple at first, and often have different degrees of complexity.

When a seemingly perfect plan falls short because of some details, then I will feel sad, wronged and even angry, but I forget that those small things are not easy to do, but they are real things.

The book lists four situations that should be considered for retreat:

(1) No direction can be found when consulting other people's opinions, that is, opinions cannot be concentrated;

(2) The problem cannot be summarized in clear language;

(3) Contradictory intuition is a warning signal;

(4) The details that keep making mistakes.

I have experienced all the above situations, and only after I have experienced the lessons of disapproval will I truly admit Murphy's Law, which is often mentioned in management: what can happen will definitely happen.

Learning to be a manager makes it difficult to find a perfect manager in the world. Even a legendary CEO like Jack Welch has made big and small mistakes in his career.

It's not terrible to make mistakes, it's terrible to make mistakes without knowing it. Only self-awareness can correct it. If you are not aware of the problems in your management, you will eventually decline in doubt.

Three commandments of managers

Management rules 1: do all the work.

Many managers are always the best in their original jobs because of their own business ability or professional ability. It is precisely because of my excellent work ability that I naturally work harder after being promoted to become a manager.

But in the end, the ability of employees in their own team has not been improved. In addition to learning and training, employees' abilities need to be transformed into practical work abilities through specific work practices.

Therefore, employees must be given enough exercise opportunities. If managers do too much work, it is difficult for employees to have enough development opportunities.

Moreover, if managers pay too much attention to specific work, it will inevitably lead to the lack of management work and eventually lead to the reduction of team efficiency.

This kind of manager is a typical representative who will be scolded for doing good. Finally, he will often become exhausted, his employees will idle away and his boss will scold him to death. Obviously, after your efforts, the team still has no results, and the performance appraisal will always be a big "0".

The second commandment of management: mistake will for ability

I have to admit that some employees are very active in some special jobs and will take the initiative to apply to the manager for the corresponding jobs. Some managers were puzzled by this willingness to work for some time, and handed over the work directly to employees without evaluating their abilities.

It's risky to do so. Many times, employees are just curious about certain things and never really feel the true colors of things. When employees find that the work is not what they think, then they have no will and ability, and the work will definitely not be done well.

The correct approach must also be based on the wishes of employees, but the ability must be evaluated, and employees cannot be rejected or agreed hastily. If employees are not competent enough, they should also be trained to develop better.

Management Rule 3: Reserve Employees

The manager's responsibility is to manage these two words well first, that is, to twist every employee in the team into a rope through management, so that everyone can work together in Qi Xin to create higher team benefits.

However, some managers will think that it is not unreasonable to let employees develop freely, but the premise of freedom must be based on the completion of team interests and must precede personal interests.

If employees are overstaffed, many times employees have no sense of team and overall situation, and will do their work according to their own ideas, which will hinder cooperation at work. Therefore, managers must actively play their management functions, so that each employee can create greater value for the team.

The above are the problems that managers often encounter in the management process, but in addition to these main problems, managers will encounter many new problems in actual work practice. After talking about the problems that managers should not make, let's talk about what skills excellent managers should have.

Three skills of managers

The three major managements that managers need to improve are performance management, team management and self-management.

1, performance management

First of all, what is the goal of this team? What kind of performance should be achieved? Then evaluate the performance. After the evaluation, where is the good one? Where is the bad one? Where is the general one? So it can be said that this is the management of four words: "reward the excellent and punish the poor."

All good ones that meet the management objectives should be rewarded, and all bad ones that do not meet the management objectives should be criticized and punished. This is the incentive mechanism. Management by objectives, performance evaluation and incentive mechanism are called performance management.

2. Team management

What is the goal of the team, so that all members know it? Where is everyone's goal? How to cooperate effectively to achieve this goal better? Of course, the supervisor can't do everything himself, but learn to delegate effectively. What should he do if there is something he can't do or work he can't finish in the process of delegation?

To be a supervisor, we must guide them, teach them, let them achieve their goals better, and then lead the team effectively. Therefore, team management has four aspects: team building, effective authorization, effective counseling and effective leadership.

3. Self-management

The supervisor should take care of himself, so the first problem is role cognition and the second problem is time management. How to improve efficiency and achieve management objectives in an effective time?

Of course, the theory and thought of time management are always developing, and one of the most important actions is effective communication.
