Essentials of Successful Management
Supervisors and managers who want to accomplish more
can get inspiration from CEOs who had to prove
themselves quickly in their new jobs.
In their book, You're in Charge-Now What? (Crown
Business) executive recruiter James Citrin at
Spencer Stuart and Associates, Stuart's U.S.
chairman, Thomas Neff, give advice on how to make
your own fresh start.
1) Know your company. Read about the company and its
competitors.
2) Listen more than talk. Evaluate people and
customers personally. Don't just accept information
that is passed on to you.
3) Solve problems. Find out what they are and what
you could do about them.
4) Don't over promise or try to do too much.
Remember that when you make a promise, you are
betting that you can do it. Promise a little less
than you think you can achieve.
5) Make sure you have the best possible people on
your team. If you hire or retain "B" or "C" players,
you are surrounded by mediocrity. Make sure your "A"
players know how to work as a member of a team.
6) Trust yourself. There will be times when you have
to make decisions on your own without discussing
them with others first.
