What Great Managers Do

Wykowski Troy, Kiryanoff Justin, Mishra Jitendra and Mishra Bharat

What it means to be a great manager differs with varying circumstances as well as changing corporate culture. We review a variety of different management techniques. Great managers should get to know their employees to successfully implement problem solving procedures. Before a procedure is in place, a manager must be sure that the correct problem is found, not just the effects of the problem. A great manager will stop and think before making critical decisions and will stay consistent when it comes to implementing company policy as well as communicating policy clearly among employees and team members. Studies find that good managers are able to analyze and foresee the future impact of their decisions on their company and relevant relations. Great businessmen such as Bill Gates attribute the success of businesses to managers. Joe Hill agrees and says that managers must hold themselves responsible for not just successes but also failures. The ability to fully and clearly communicate a vision to team members and peers is necessary. Many great managing styles are alike but a manager should not be afraid to break company norms to achieve goals. Case studies have shown that the most profitable companies in the world have strong fundamental management techniques as well as innovators and people who are afraid to speak up. The skills to communicate lessons learnt and the ability to stand firm are important characteristics of successful managers. Above all, great managers do the right thing when no one is looking.
