Download or read book Leading People written by Peter Mills and published by Made For Success Publishing. This book was released on 2016-04-01 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The role of the manager is to achieve the business goals set for them and at the same time to provide an environment that allows their team members to be effective and satisfied with their work while developing their full potential. It is not a balance between work and people as both outcomes must be achieved. The ‘10 things successful managers know and do’ is based a coherent framework for managing people in the context of an organisation i.e. the ‘Leadership Framework’. It addresses leadership at the individual, team and organisational levels. It’s based not just on management customs but is underpinned by solid research combining sociology and psychology with management science. At the Frameworks core is a strong manager - employee relationship. This is a two-way, trusting, productive, working relationship focused on achieving business goals with team members working to their full potential. For managers to be a successful manager they must: Understand their role. The role of the manager is to achieve the business goals set for them and at the same time, provide an environment that allows their team members to be effective and satisfied with their work while developing their full potential.Understand the role of others. Organisations have extensive networks of people working together and unless there is a clear understanding of the accountabilities and authorities of other roles and strong understanding of the legitimate nature of these working relationships, work will be inefficient and conflict can occur.Build a team that works together to deliver business outcomes bringing together the full capability of team members. There must be a shared understanding of why the team exists and what they are expected to deliver. The manager creates a work environment that encourages a good flow of information and advice in all directions – top down, bottom up, across the team and the organisation.Build mutual trust and a strong, two-way, trusting, working relationship with each team member. The focus of the relationship is to achieve business goals and the employee working to their full potential. Productive work is enabled by systemic trust and fairness and is reduced by fear.Have integrated models for people and work. Without a clear and integrated framework managers will not have a theoretical or practical base of knowledge for what they do or how they do it. This can result in poor decision making and inconsistent treatment of team members, work will be inefficient and conflict can occur.Create effective roles and put with good people in them. Effectively designed roles fill with capable people is the foundation to building a successful team.Effectively assign work to team members and then assess this work to ensure it has been performed at the required standard. Effectively assigning and assessing work enables managers to achieve their business outcomes and at the same time allows team members to be satisfied with their work and helps build strong manager - employee working relationships.Build an effective team, so that each member is fully committed to and capable of moving in the direction set. They create opportunities to coach team members on how to be more effective.Recognize and reward team members appropriately and fairly. The ideal state is where the employee can say ‘I feel I am working at a level suited to my capability and I am fairly rewarded for that work. I feel I am contributing to the success of the organisation and I can see a clear link between my performance and my remuneration’.Identify ways to improve how work can be done more effectively and efficiently and implement the necessary changes for this to occur. When the direction of the team or organisation changes, managers lead their team in the direction set. Performing these ‘10 things’ effectively will make managers and create a work environment where people feel productive and valued.

Download or read book Leading for Learning written by Lisa J. Koss and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2020-10-08 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People do their best work when they are motivated. This may sound obvious, but while people managers instinctively agree with the centrality of motivation at work and its impact on employee engagement, their practices do not follow. With so much "real work" to do every day, how can managers also carve out time to learn, engage, build relationships, tap motivation, encourage development, and inspire? The problem is a false dichotomy between the world of business and that of people development. What if managers were able to systematically transform everyday business issues into meaningful, developmental coaching opportunities with employees at the same time? This proven coaching approach radically shifts conversations away from either-or propositions and uses an entirely different lens: transforming business challenges by connecting them directly to employee motivation to achieve the desired business result while dramatically increasing employee engagement. And all this comes none too soon as leaders must rethink the way they lead given the modern realities of organizational life. Among them: A rapidly changing workplace and increasing uncertainty that requires a fundamental shift in the leader’s approach, including the distribution of authority and the expectation that employees take responsibility for their own learning Pervasive and persistent employee disengagement, characterized by employees who no longer accept the organization’s priorities at the expense of their own, where organizations that continue to dictate terms will find ongoing challenges with costly employee turnover and lack of engagement During the past decade, the Developmental Coaching Model has been taught across the globe in nine languages and has been enthusiastically embraced by thousands of managers while dissolving the invisible barriers that block individual and organizational development and business success.

Download or read book The Handbook of Business Essentials Middle East Edition written by Randa Diab Bahman, Abrar Al Enzi & Bekir Emre Kurtulmus and published by Austin Macauley Publishers. This book was released on 2024-03-29 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The demands of today's fast-paced world have made it increasingly challenging for educators in higher education. Conventional teaching materials are continuously proving outdated due to their inflexibility and lack of consideration for diverse classrooms. Educators have struggled to find concise yet thorough, matter-of-fact content for teaching purposes. The solution is usually a scattershot collection of information from various sources—a particular difficulty for students whose English is a second language. Due to language barriers, innuendo, and lingo, these students can struggle with varying methods of information representation, ultimately finding it difficult to adjust to the expected pace of study. Within this challenge lies an opportunity to consolidate individual research, experience, and efforts to unify course materials better suited to the aforementioned audience. Therefore, The Handbook of Business Essentials - Middle East Edition provides a comprehensive look at the latest management theories and business strategies in a concise yet thorough, easy-to-read context particularly adjusted for non-native English speakers. It also caters to the target student audience by providing real-world examples from the Middle East, which they can better understand and relate to. The book includes a full Arabic translation, as well as a glossary of translated terminology.
