10 Quality Goals for Managers

Welcome to our April edition for HR Dialogue! I hope this finds you all well.

I took some time today to search out something original for this month’s newsletter theme. I wanted to do a
write up on the top qualities in a manager.

Researching the internet though, I found numerous fundas and frankly too much gyaan on what many different
writers seem to think are the ‘Top 10 Qualities’ a manager should have. The amusing part of it was that every list of
the ‘Top 10ers’ seemed to be almost completely different. In fact, there seem to be as many ‘top 10 qualities in a
manager’ as there are managers!

I’ve listed 10 goals that I personally feel one should strive for when seeking to become a professional, people-
person manager.

See Possibilities – Good Managers know how to bring out the best in others. They look for possibilities that
perhaps no one else can see.
Know the Structure – Know the structure of the company – the guidelines, limitations and policies. A good
manager needs to be up-to-date on what the current procedures are in the company so they can give employees
good, clear expectations.
Remember: Small Actions Count! – Little drops of water make the mighty ocean, and little deeds of kindness act
as glue that holds the puzzle pieces together. Each time you go out of your way to do something nice for another, it
is noticed, and you are respected that much more.
Be Creative –A creative manager separates a competent manager from an exceptional one. Creativity adds that
special spark to otherwise mundane responsibilities and projects, and can act as an inspirational tool for co-workers
and other employees.
Commit – Commit not only to the success of your team’s project, but to your team members as well. Remember:
your level of commitment is contagious.
Be ‘Human’ – Don’ let your authority create a gap between you and the members of your team. There is nothing
wrong with being yourself. Be someone your team members can look up to. Gain respect, loyalty and a good
connection that way.
Stay Versatile – There is always room for flexibility and versatility. Be open to sudden changes and others
suggestions – even if they are a junior.
Think back – Think back to how things would be for you if you were in their place. How would you want your
manager to be? Be that manager.
Have fun while you work – A good manager knows how to have a good balance between being professional at
work and having fun in the process. I’ve known this quality to work wonders in combatting attrition as well! But
don’t forget, there is a very fine line between having fun while your work and still staying focused.
Be a role model – Remember that you are the leader for the people who work under you. They will mirror you and
your work ethics. Be worthy of being a role model.

Remember that these are only ideas. You know best what will work for your specific situation. Plan well &
achieve great results!
