Effective Leadership for New Managers and Supervisors

Know how to lead and manage your members effectively, so that you get the best out of them at all times. Start by giving your best: leadership by example is the best way to get people busy at work.  It doesn’t matter if it's your employees or just individuals you supervise, always give of your best and expect the best from members.

Raise the bar higher than people’s talents, this will force members to reach out and become their best. When you force people to do their best, you are stretching the organization to succeed.

Continuously improve yourself and members each day. This is the key to building great teams and organizations. Push each member to be better. One’s best may be another’s worse; so always push each member by creating healthy competition. If you create competition or rewards where one person or group wins all the time, then you have failed the group. Give everyone a chance to win by adjusting the rewards. Everyone must feel like a winner within your organization.

Getting the best out of your employees is the most important objective of leadership and management. Leadership from management is best achieved if you get feedback from your employees. You will only know when you get direct feedback from your employees that whatever you are doing is not working or working as expected.

Always get feedback and get it in different ways. Pull one honest member aside, have meetings at times, run over the scenario by a colleague, use a suggestion box or use the grapevine to find out where you are excelling or failing.

Your most become an expert in dealing with people as much as you might be an expert in dealing with your product. Products won’t sell themselves. So get to know people, interact with those who are failing as well as those who are doing well, so you learn yourself and your leadership style better.

 Most people fail because they spend too much time developing a concept and too little time developing people. People will make or break your bottom-line.
