Hire the best possible subordinates
Some managers are afraid of hiring the best employees who might later take their place. But this is a big mistake: in order for you and your team to be successful, you need to surround yourself with the best possible colleagues and subordinates.
Give subordinates enough authority
Allow your subordinates sufficient authority to make their own decisions about the things they are working on.
Don't be afraid to admit mistakes
Nobody is perfect. If you pretend you are, you will only degrade yourself unnecessarily in the eyes of your team. Show your human side and if you make a mistake, don't be afraid to admit it.
Treat subordinates like human beings
All kinds of lectures from the professional literature or motivational speeches are less important than honest, authentic and human communication with subordinates.
Be as honest as possible with employees
Do not try to withhold information or use meaningless phrases. Try to be as honest as possible.
No micromanaging!
Micromanagement is one of the worst mistakes you can make in people management. It is also a common reason why workers leave their employer.
Do not try to build authority by force
If you feel you lack authority, definitely forget about building it by force.
Be an example to subordinates
You yourself must follow all the rules you set out for your subordinates. The best way to motivate employees is by example.
Remember to plan strategically
Do not become so caught up in the day-to-day routine that you forget the key role of a manager is to plan strategically and set the direction for the whole team.
Communicate a vision to subordinates
As a manager, you need to give your team a common vision, namely an idea of where you actually want to get to as a team.
