What should be the head

Require others to look at themselves

The right leader does what he says andsays what he does. Do you know the situation when the late employee is chided by the head, who periodically is late? He is not delayed due to an important meeting, but simply comes half an hour later. Such a boss spoils his own reputation: if you want something from others, first look at yourself.

Grow, not to decrease

Many managers, having received a post, considerhimself a fully held personality and think that there is nothing more to learn. This is a sad misconception. You need to develop always, otherwise at best you will stay at the same level, and then start to dive down. This is the law of nature: a system that does not develop - degrades. Therefore, business books should be desktop, and not appear in the distant future.

Be interesting

In addition to professional skills, it is good to developand other features. The chief does not have to be a calculator that has grown into his own office. If he does something else, for example, he simply leads an interesting blog or writes articles in a fashion magazine, his popularity will increase. Such things, not directly related to work, it turns out, work is very helpful.

The Rule of Three Mistakes

A wise leader never hacks from the shoulder. Therefore, he does not fire for one mistake. But there is a cunning rule here. The first error is always considered chance. The employee who committed it usually does not have enough knowledge. He is taught. The second blunder is wittily called concurrence, and in him the lack of experience is to blame. The employee is being "treated". The third misdemeanor is usually not forgiven, because the conscience of the employee, who is accustomed to "forgiving" and who has not drawn conclusions, is already lame here.

Share information personally

With the subordinates you must communicate. Straight and looking in the eye, answering all questions - from the salary to the company's strategy. Another law of nature - it does not tolerate emptiness. Therefore, any information gap in the head of the subordinate is filled by himself - and not in favor of chief. And so you need to arrange meetings with employees and give them information personally. If the information is transferred only through one link of the subordinate managers, its meaning is distorted. If in two - is lost completely.

To wet the conspirators

The excessive softness of the boss is harmful to the common cause. But the rule of the "golden mean" is not always the best way out of the situation. Sometimes you need to take tough measures. This applies to cases where a group of so-called "terrorists" is formed among the subordinates. Usually these are valuable employees who begin to consider themselves irreplaceable, demand privileges and bring discord to the team. They arrange conspiracies and involve other workers in their circles. The working environment is heated, because because of the impulses of solidarity, even those who are generally satisfied with everything are joining them. Such conspirators must be immediately removed, here manifestations of good nature will be regarded as weakness and lack of will.

Observe the distance

A good boss, though he cares aboutsubordinates, always keeps a certain distance with them. This can be called personal space in working conditions. First, many newly appointed executives have such a weakness - consider themselves superprofits and show everyone an example. And employees do not mind doing their work for them. This harms both sides. Let an employee do his own business, he needs to help only in extreme cases.

Secondly, at corporate parties do not needdeclare that we are now all friends, and the subordinates are only in the office. This relaxes both of them, embarrassing conversations and the reputation of the boss melts before our eyes. And it is very difficult to make up for it later.
