Start today. You can be the best Manager

Who is an Ideal manager? If you are a manager, how to measure your efficiency.
You should be that manager whom you would dream of working with.
Competencies you should build  in order to become a successful manager
1.       Shares the vision
The companies you work for have their vision. A manager should be a visionary leader. He should be able to share his vision with his colleagues. Build a team that has the same vision, each person in the team will work in blood and sweat.
2.       Concise and inspiring communicator
This doesn’t mean that a manager should be some orator. Clarity of expression is important. He should be able to effectively communicate to people. (Probing- as I have mentioned in my previous article). If you couldn’t understand what someone has told you, clarify.
3.       Planner
Better the planning better will be your execution. A better manager should always be able to understand his resources and optimize them to achieve team goals.
4.       Flexible
A manager should tackle problems with an open mind. Adaptability is an important tool.
5.       Performance manager
Manager is no more a feudal landlord. He is never expected to behave in the way too. He is accountable for the performance of the team along with the team members. He has to shoulder the responsibility to uplift the low performing arms of the team.
What should be done hence?
Find the root cause of the poor performance – rectify it.
6.       Committed
Encourages and supports people and drive initiatives.
7.       Motivational leader
Lead from the front. That is expected of a leader.
8.       Team builder
A good manager fosters a co-operative team style. Such a style will avoid egos and bring in sustainable achievements to the team.
9.       Guardian of the culture
To be straight, the team should not move left when the entire company moves to the right.
 . .      Subject knowledge
You should be learnt and updated in your subject. Swim with the tide, or else you will lose somewhere.

Comments and suggestions expected. I believing in improving my article.

🌍 Embracing Sustainable Living, One Step at a Time! 👣

Dear Community, I recently encountered a common yet often overlooked problem - the sole of my running shoes decided to part ways with me.  🙄  Rather than rushing to buy a new pair, I decided to take a small step towards sustainability and repair them with Fevicol shoe fix. (I could have run down to a good cobbler, but I didn’t know anyone nearby) This experience got me thinking about the simple ways we can contribute to a more sustainable future. It's not just about big eco-initiatives; small, individual acts matter too.   Sustainability isn't just about solar panels and electric cars; it's about reusing, repairing, and repurposing in our daily lives. In this fast-paced world, we often forget that the most eco-friendly product is the one we already own – for the production of which, raw materials were used, processed in factories, transported and displayed in a shop until it was bought for use. So the way in which we as an end user can contribute is by prolonging its lif...

Risk Factors in Landslide Disaster Emergency Rescue

In the wake of the horrible landslides in Wayanad district of Kerala, among other articles and news, I came across a write up by a disaster management expert from the United Nation. A portion of his article translates roughly to 'An area that met with a disaster requires people with special skills. Even if there are small things to do (like serving food), some experience is required; such as the presence of mind to deal with disasters when they are seen in person, and benevolent behavior towards those affected by the disaster comes from the experience handling such situations.' this inspired me to give a thought on the the delicasies and risks involved in the Emergency rescue. Watch the videos running on news channels - you will come to know that the emergency recue after a landslide is no child's play. Landslide disasters caused by heavy rainfall pose significant risks to both rescue teams and affected communities. Understanding these risks is crucial for ensuring the saf...

The Influence of Childhood Team Sports on Adult Behavior

Recently while on job, I had an opportunity to have an engaging conversation with a business leader. The late evening discussion then went off topic, maneuvered smoothly through the passionate field of behaviour sciences and delved then into some thought provoking questions on where it is leading to in the world being increasingly dominated by AI and ML. On a similar front, another fact that has triggered my curiosity is that organizations are working hard to find leaders who can adapt to changes and provide necessary answers by implementing all available leadership development programs. During the recent years, learning & development leaders have manifested an increasing interest in engaging personalities from the sports sector, proof of this is the increasing number of athletes and coaches who participate in leadership programs offering their insights and experiences transferable to the businesses. These intrigued me to do a slew of internet searches which led to reading a co...
