Interpersonal Business

The manager-managee relationship and balance of power has significantly evolved in recent years. We have often asked those we manage to begin to “think like a manager.” The old school of “management by dictatorship” will only serve to limit the fundamental quality of your staff. We understand the need to nurture and delegate to our staff, but are we willing to relinquish power in the process?

Delegation is management’s only long-term hope for survival. The only great risk to management is in not effectively granting responsibility to others. What are the qualities of pride and doing a job well? We must have the confidence and ability to hold all of our staff accountable. Expect those around you to take on a challenge and they will rarely disappoint you.
