2. Do you work well with others? Are you a leader? If you have
these qualities, you might make a good manager. However,
you need just more than these two qualities to be a good
manager. There are a number of factors that play into
whether or not you would make a good manager.

3. Leadership
Shows outstanding skills in guiding team members
towards attainment of the organization’s goals and the right
decisions at the right point of time. As Drucker said,
"management is doing things right; leadership is doing the
right things."

4. Plan and delegate
Possesses foresight and
skills to understand the
relevant capabilities of
team members, and
then scheduling tasks
and delegating to the
right people to get tasks
done within deadlines.
You are a guide, not a
commander.

5. Domain expert
Demonstrates complete knowledge of his field and
confident about that knowledge, with the common
sense to make quick productive decisions, and
ability to think outside the box.

6. Set clear expectations
Employees should always know what is expected of them. One of the easiest
ways to do this is to set deliverable milestones for each employee over a set
period of time. Then review the performance vs. the roadmap or deliverable
at least six months prior to a performance review and discuss ways to
improve.

7. Positive recognition
Immediately recognize team members, publicly or privately, when they
complete something successfully or show initiative. Congratulate them on a
job well done. Most employees are not motivated by money alone. Good
managers know that employees want regular recognition that their job is
being done well.

8. Developing talent
Employers need a manger that will listen to their needs
and assist them in growing their skills within the
organization. Having an open door policy will
allow employees to feel as if they can come to you
if they have a problem. Understanding that each
team member is different and have different needs
will also help manage employees. Scheduling
departmental meetings, having creative functions
and putting a workplace policy in play where
employee ideas can be considered as part of the
organizations growth are great and innovative ways
to manager others.

9. Adaptability and Trust
Remember that one of the two best attributes
to strive for is adaptability and trust.
Change is inevitable especially in an
organization and as a manger you have to
be able to adjust not only yourself but
your employees to any changes that may
arise in the environment, society,
community, and organization. Also,
without trust employees won’t put forth
their best effort in the workplace. They
have to believe that you will go to bat for
them as their spokesperson and ally
when issues arise. Employees also have
to trust that you will always do your best
to manage them by using the best
practices that will help them in
producing quality work while giving
them the ability to enjoy their job.
