At the most general level, successful managers can be characterized in the following way.

- They are happy when their staff make progress in the company.

- They are cheerful optimists, who try to be positive when times are difficult.

- They do not promise more than they can perform.

A good manager is someone who knows how to handle staff well. Here are some essential tasks of an effective manager.

Great managers accept blame: When the boss from the head office visits and expresses displeasure, the great manager immediately accepts full responsibility. They usually tell the head office if any of their staff make mistakes. In every day life, the best managers constantly remember that they selected their people, they are responsible for them and they should have developed them.

Great managers give praise: Praise is probably the most under-used management tool. Great managers always try to catch their people doing something right, and congratulate them on it. Managers who regularly give praise are in a much stronger position to criticize or reprimand poor performance.

Great managers can foresee: Very few people are comfortable with the idea that they will be doing exactly what they are doing today in 10 years’ time. Great managers anticipate people’s dissatisfaction.

Great managers judge on merit: It’s much more difficult than it sounds. Suspicions of discrimination or favoritism are fatal to the smooth running of any team, so the great manager accepts this as an aspect of the game and tries to work on it hard.

Great managers make things happen: The old fashioned approach to management was rather like the old fashioned approach to child- raising:”Go and see what the children are doing and tell them to stop it!” Great managers believe that their people work in their interests and do everything they can to create the environment in which people feel free to express themselves.

Great managers make themselves redundant: Great managers learn new skills and acquire useful information from the outside world, and then immediately pass them on to the other members of the team. Great managers are constantly looking for higher-level activities to occupy their own time, while passing on tasks they have already mastered.
