Mistakes Managers Do!!


You might have thought till now that people who have occupied the high level posts such as managers and other higher level executives won’t make any mistakes as they are smart and well trained. But according to a recent study conducted by CareerBuilder, around 58 percent of the managers didn’t received any training before starting as a manager which led to unavoidable wrong steps.


In a company, the managers are always considered as the front line representation in their company’s Business. But some managers fail in this process as they lack smartness in spite of sometimes being well trained. As a manger here are some of the major as well as the dumbest mistakes which you must try to avoid in your professional life to stand up for improving your company’s business.


1. Assuming that your team is listening to you:


This is the first major mistake most of the managers do assuming that their team members are listening to what they are guiding them about the future plans. Just because your team is silent in the meeting, it doesn’t mean that they are listening and learning what you are instructing. In that case, it is your responsibility to make sure your team is paying attention to what you are telling. The best way to know whether they understand your words or not, is by checking out how much they have understood. Ask them to build their opinions to your plans and try to brainstorm new approaches.



2. Failing to get to know your employees as the people:


This is one such silly mistake the managers usually commit. Many of them fail to know their employees as person, as they think it is not much important to get into their personal issues. This is a mistake to be avoided because it helps you to build a strong as well as healthy relationship with your employees so that you get to understand them even better, that does not mean you need to be your employee’s counselor or a therapist to build a god like relationship with them.


3. Don’t giving good directions to them:


It is a key responsibility of a manger to give clear directions to his team. But many of them are failing to direct the juniors. It is good for a manager who clearly explains his employees on what actually they are expecting from his employees, so that they can work according to it. Ask your employees to consider every task as a priority and act according to that. 

4. Fail in trusting your employees:


Trusting is a very vital aspect to considerespecially if you are a manager. If you fail in it, you can’t expect anything good from your employees if you don’t have any faith in them. It will be helpful for you if you get to know which employee is trust worthy for your challenging projects which are coming up in the future. But you must also not forget to treat your employees as if they are untrustworthy, so that they work even better and harder to gain your trust which will be helpful for your company.


5. Take decisions and then ask for employees input:


This is really considered as the silliest mistakes which a manager can perform. It is not worth if you make decisions and later take opinions of our team. If you make it as a routine act, your employees may not take you seriously anymore and they lose confidence on you. Enable your employees to make decisions about their work as it is considered to be the heart of employee empowerment and engagement.  But make sure, you won’t put much workload on one single employee and suffocate them.
