Good Management

Good management is something that is definitely necessary in today's work place, managers are used in order to direct the activities of employees and play a major role in how efficient the employees work. A managers job is to maximize the effectiveness of his team or organization so that they can reach the organization's goals. I think that a good mindset for a manager to have is for them to view their work as achieving their objective through the work of others. This mindset works because it forces managers to try to make the employees to work the hardest that they can get them to, so that they can achieve their goal. There is endless evidence of how bad management can screw over a company, and produce less then good results, while having good management can motivate workers to get the best work out of them, and provide a good workplace. People wont enjoy going to work if their manager is awful, and seems to always be against them. Places like Google, where employees are basically catered to show good management and have amazing results to back it up.

Good managers will have to have certain skills that help them motivate others to work hard. Probably them most important skill that they need to have is to be a good communicator. Its incredibly hard to do something for someone when you have no idea what they are asking you to do, or they ask you to do something but meant another thing, but with good communication employees will know exactly what to do and how to do it. Managers that are good at their job will often plan ahead for things that could possibly go wrong, its normal human nature for people to make mistakes, so planning ahead will help solve the situation hastily and effectively.  Managers that look for solutions instead of looking for people to blame are actually much more effective because blaming people only wastes more time, while looking for solutions helps get rid of the problem. Being able to put trust in your employees is also a great skill to have, because it your workers not want to dissatisfy the manager and it can also spark creativity in the work force, as they know its okay to try something new as long as it doesn't hurt the company.
