How to be a Good Manager 

  

Do your information gathering and analysis as thorough

as possible before making the decisions.

Many would like to be good manager,

to be able to lead their teams to great things.

But what are the essential characteristics of

Good Managers? Read more to find out.

Step 1

Develop Wisdom

Wisdommanager is able tomake wise decision

quick and correctlymost of the time, learn from

mistakes, able to strategize and take

advantage of rising opportunity and avoid

unnecessary dangers, creating great teams

and guiding themto great results.With wisdom

comes with ease in carrying out the next few

steps. To develop wisdom, managers have to

read widely, be analytical and have good

understanding of the workings inside and

outside his department.

Step 2

Be Trustworthy

Trustworthiness means that whatever

the manager promises must be carried out, in

the process creating trust with his team

members. Trust of his team is important if he

is to be able to unite his army against their

enemies. If a manager could not reward as

promised, it is likely that his team member

would not put in their best since they have no

idea whether they would be rewarded or not.

Same thing for punishment, if certain rules are

 set out but team members who flout it are not

punished, it would create chaos in the

companys organization and structure

 

Step 3

Be Benevolent

Benevolence is understanding,

accommodating and love for his team

members. Show your teammembers you have

their welfare at heart. Treat them like your

family members. But one must note that too

much benevolence could spoil the army,

making them too comfortable, thus sapping

their fighting spirit. Thus Sun Tzu also

proposed Discipline (Please see Step 5).

Discipline would counterbalance the

characteristic of benevolence.

Step 4

Develop Courage

Managers should be able to face the mistakes

that are made under his department because

at the end of the day, he is responsible for what

is going on in the department. There is also

another aspect where we must see courage

as well and that is to make unfavorable or

unpopular decisions. If the manager lacks

courage in the formofmaking difficult decision,

hemaybe be leading his teammember to slow

death because most of the time these

unfavorable decisions can avoid short-term

pain but causes huge damage that is

accumulated in the long run.

 

Step 5

Develop Discipline

Managers need to develop self-discipline and discipline in teams. With discipline,

managers would be able to deploy his teams to execute his plan effectively and efficiently. He

himself must have great self-discipline, to set a good example to his teams, gaining trust in the

process. But again, too much discipline may cause the manager to be seen as a tyrant in the

eyes of his team members. As such when instilling discipline, it must be moderated with

benevolence (Please see Step 3).

Words of Great Wisdom

The eye of the heart, though closed in fallen man, is able to take in a glimmering of light and this

is faith. But anway of living causes a covering like rust to accumulate over the heart so that it

cannot sense the Divine origin of God’s message.

- Martin Lings

(Abu Bakr Sirajuddin)

Listen to your heart and not your ego. Your ego prompts you to boast of vain assertions to

obtain the glory of this world. Turn away from vanity and seek Him in the recesses of your

heart and soul

 -Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jillani

“Sometimes there is no easy way out, but there is always an easier way out and a harder

way out. Choose wisely.”

-Nathaniel Bronier Jr.

When my heart was hardened

and my courses constrained

I made my hope a stairway

to Your forgiveness

My sin burdened me heavily,

but when I measured it

by Your forgiveness

Your forgiveness was the greater

-Imam As ShafiI
