Good Managers Keep These Three Things in Mind
If you want to be a good manager, keep these three ideas in mind every day:
- Be optimistic. It just doesn’t pay to expect things to go wrong. Keep your mind focused on your goal and keep moving toward it without letting doubts rule your decision making.
- Pay attention to your feelings. Try to use your feelings as your guide, but don’t let them rule you. Respect your feelings and emotion, recognize them, shake their hands, but never
let them have the baton or you’ll find yourself in situations where you feel out of control.
- Always strive for self-awareness. When you get angry for instance, ask yourself why you are angry. Is it only about the situation at hand, or does it have more to do with your history,
background or personality? Be honest about this with yourself. If you blow up at someone who doesn’t deserve it, then you will need to rectify the situation in an honorable way.
