Sound advice from both of you. Thank you. I’m a first time manager of a food retail business. (Grocery store) employee retention is an ongoing challenge. Again, thank you for making this information free and accessible.
As an employee, I've learned so much on how a manager sees me. As an employee, who is under management training, I'm learning so much what to do when I become a manager. thank you, always!
I am a supervisor, i tried 2 ways of supervising. I tried acting like a “ tough” supervisor and acting hard. I dont like that style. However i tried the “manager’s” style and it turns out to be very effective. Getting to know them more, being kind and telling them task indirectly without being a dick.
Can you do a video on how to know if you are delegating too much? I don’t want to be seen as lazy but I also want my staff to take the lead on most projects.
Thanks for your question. It is a littel bit different to answer in general. Think about it in that way: What exactly is your role? What is expected from you? If you are a business owner, you should delegate as much from the day to day work as possible. The reason is: You role as a business owner is to lead the company. You have to work on the company not in the company. If you are a team leader: Your main duty is to lead the team. If you don't do this, who will? How much should you delegate? That depends: What are the expectations of your superior regarding your job as a team leader?
I agree wholeheartedly with your concepts but unfortunately in the third world, where the staff have limited education (if any) it doesn't apply. I find this the most frustrating part of managing a team in Africa.
A lot of employees aren't motivated to do there job because they hate their job I was micromanaged before it's beyond horrible and no one should have to go through it micromanagement sucks the life out of a work place
