Well, in the career of a manager, you need to be taking care of the few of the below mentioned points:
- If you are do not possess some knowledge, accept openly. There is no harm is saying ''I don't know'', but in any care do not give a wrong answer either to your employee or to the board member.
- In any situation, if you're at fault, take the blame.
- It is always better to apologize. If you're wrong, apologize humbly.
- In case if you don't have the answer ready at your fingertips, them ask for time and get back to the person with specified time.
- Never gossip, because when someone gossips two careers are hurt - the person talked about, and the person talking. If ever someone tries to gossip with you, politely show your disinterest.
- No task is a small task for any position. As a manager you need to set an example by doing something that nobody else wants to do.
- Share the credit whenever possible. A manager who shares credit is more popular than those who take all the credit themselves.
- Do not hesitate to take help and you'll find most people enjoy giving a helping hand.
- It is always better not to discuss your financial remuneration. Discussing how much you're making is a no-win proposition. Either you'll be upset because someone is doing better than you, or someone will be upset because you are making good.
- When you don't like someone, don't show it in your action. This is especially true if you outrank them.
- Learn to let it go. What shouldn't happen often does. You weren't given the project you wanted, you were passed over for the promotion you deserved. Be gracious and diplomatic and move on. Harboring a grudge won't advance your career but can certainly play a part in bringing it down.
- When you're right, don't insist.
- What took too long to complete the task?
- What caused complaints today?
- What was misunderstood today?
- What cost too much?
- Was there misuse of any of the resources?
- What was too complicated?
- What was just plain silly?
- What job involved too many unnecessary actions?
- What was the mistake?
- How to correct myself?
