One of the largest challenges of managing a team is understanding that each employee has different strengths, different aspirations, different motivators, etc.…as a manager, you must understand that you:
- Vary productivity and pace
- Can kill a self starter with micro-management, yet need to hand-hold others
- Need to let an employee go who does not fit and is not carrying his load…educate, probate and terminate
If you can get really talented, capable people together – then align them to a common strategy/purpose – and finally, set the standard really high!
Do you tailor your management approach per employee?
