Mistakes the project manager should not make

It's hard to find a perfect manager in the world , Even a legend like Jack Welch CEO, He has also made big and small mistakes in his career .

It's not terrible to make mistakes , The terrible thing is to make mistakes without knowing it . Only self - awareness can correct , If you are not aware of the problems in your management , Then it is only possible to decline in doubt .

The first commandment of Management ： Take charge of all the work

Many managers are promoted because of their own business ability or professional ability , He has always been a leader in his original work . Because of the excellent working ability , After being promoted to be a manager, I take it for granted to work harder .

But in the end, the ability of the employees in the team will not be improved , In addition to learning and training, employees' abilities need to be transformed into actual working abilities through specific work practices .

So we must give employees enough opportunities to exercise , If the manager does too much work , So it's hard for employees to have enough development opportunities . And if managers pay too much attention to specific work , That will inevitably lead to the lack of management , This will eventually lead to a reduction in team effectiveness .

This kind of manager is a typical representative who needs to be scolded for doing good things , In the end, they often become tired to death 、 Employees are idle 、 Boss scolded to death . Obviously I work hard , The team still hasn't made any achievements , Performance evaluation is always a big “0”.

Manage the second commandment ： Mistake will for ability

Have to admit , Some employees are very positive about a particular kind of work , And will take the initiative to apply to the manager for the corresponding work . Some managers are temporarily confused by this willingness to work , Hand over the work directly to the employees , There is no capability assessment .

There are considerable risks in doing so , Many times employees are just curious about something , I haven't experienced the essence of real things with real guns . When employees find that the job is not what they want , Then there is no will or ability , You can't do a good job .

The right approach must also be based on the wishes of employees , However, capability assessment must be carried out , Do not rashly refuse or agree to employees . If the employee is incompetent , So in the case of ability , It is also necessary to cultivate the ability of employees , So that employees can get better development .

Managing the third precept ： Stocking employees

The first responsibility of a manager is to manage , That is to twist every employee in the team into a rope through management , Let us work together to create higher team benefits .

But some managers think that letting employees develop freely will make them grow better , That's not unreasonable , But the premise of freedom must be based on the completion of team interests , Team interests must precede personal interests .

If employees are too free-ranging , In many cases , Employees have no sense of the team and overall situation , They will work according to their own ideas , This makes the collaboration in the work hindered . Therefore, managers must give full play to their management functions , Let every employee create greater value for the team .

These are the problems that managers often encounter in the process of management , But beyond these main problems , Managers will also encounter many new problems in their actual work practice .

such as ：

　　 Don't understand training , Employees will be dismissed immediately if they have problems ;

　　 Managers have no leadership , Unable to call on employees ;

　　 Management depends entirely on power , Employees are not convinced ;

　　 Neglecting employees' lives , Let the employees be estranged
