Top 10 Management Skills (Being successful in life and business)

 
No. 1: Pride: Take pride in what you do and it will shine through in your performance. Many
people look at their jobs as just a paycheck and set no goals for the future. It’s life-changing to
actually like going to work instead of dreading it. You should only pursue a career in something
you love to do, with people you enjoy and respect.
 
No. 2: Dedication
: Along with pride comes dedication. Stay dedicated to your work and the progress of your
company. A manager who runs a facility like he owns it becomes completely dedicated to the
business.
People are devoted to the things they own, so own your work and the choices you make for the
betterment of the company.
No. 3: Reliability: Being reliable is an absolute must for any position. This means showing up
for work on time and ready to do whatever it takes. Those around you need to know they can
count on you to come prepared for the job.
No. 4: Organization: The more organized you are, the more accomplished you’ll be. An office
should always be well-stocked and organized so you’re never running around searching for
supplies. Every process can be executed more easily and efficiently when you have the proper
tools at hand.
No. 5: Time Management: Managing your time keeps you focused and on task. A checklist is the
most useful tool as far as time management goes. This allows you to prioritize and figure out
how much time can be spent on which tasks.
No. 6: Communication: Proper communication keeps everyone on the same page. It eliminates
loose ends that can turn into problems if not addressed. Log books with detailed notes are great.
Calendars also help to keep everyone prepared for upcoming events or appointments.
No. 7: Teamwork: Create a network of people working together with the same goals. Everyone
should feel important and essential to the business. As long as you are loyal to your employees,
they will be loyal to you. Allow yourself and others to be team players by empowering your
employees.
No. 8: Leadership: The key is to lead by example. If you want others to continue in a productive
direction, then you must show them that by doing so yourself. Also, never manage a position
you’re incapable of fulfilling. Eliminating special treatment and exceptions will allow everyone
to feel equal. A great leader encourages participation and keeps everyone involved.
 
No. 9: Patience: Training is critical for retaining employees. People learn at different paces and
in different ways. Patience and time is required when training staff and dealing with customer
situations.
 
No. 10: Enthusiasm: Emotions are contagious. If you keep an upbeat attitude, it will spread to
those around you. High spirits bring on motivation … and motivation gets things done
