Effective Manager |
Travel all over the world and will meet the manager of every big
and a small company in order to know the quality of an effective manager.
Whenever he met the manager of any company he asked them
only one question, What kind of manager would you say you are?
He always used to get 2 types of an answer to this question:
1) AUTOCRATIC MANAGER
Who only think about result and profit of
the company?
2) DEMOCRATIC MANAGER
Who first thing about the company employees and always help them in their work.
That man found this both answer as partially effective he didn’t found that quality in any manager which he was looking for one day he came to know about a special manager.
He was surprised to know that everyone was
happy to work under that special manager so he decided that he will meet that
special manager.
And immediately fixed an appointment with
him when he met the special for the first time he asked him the same question.
WHAT KIND OF MANAGER WOULD YOU ARE?
That special manager replied “I AM A ONE MINUTE MANAGER” that man
asked why one-minute manager?
The special manager said that he needs very less
time to achieve a big result from his people that man gave him a shocking
reaction and asked.
But how it is possible?
The special manager told him to meet his 3
employees who will tell him the 3 secrets to become a special manager.
Firstly, he met Mr. Travel who was a middle
aged person, Mr. Travel told him that one minute manager set a one-minute goal of
every new task and project along with him any time in a company, employees
goals and organization goals are different.
Due to which they don’t get expected result
and output thought one-minute goal, Mr. Travel has explained that in a group the task, the goal of the group leader and group member should be clear and uniform.
And everyone should agree on those goals
should be assigned to the person according to their behaviour every goal should
be written on a single sheet of paper which should be less than 250 words.
So that it can be read again and again
within 1 minute and lastly, take out some time from your busy schedule analyze
your behaviour and performance.
Whether they are matching your goals or not
after that Mr travel told him to meet Mr. Levy after meeting Mr. Travel,
that man went to meet Mr. Levy who was going to tell him second of one minute
manager.
Mr. Levy said that one-minute manager keep
an eye on whatever right work he does and every time he does one-minute praise for
doing the right thing.
Whenever we praise someone for their good job their self-confidence get boosted.
Example whenever a child is small, he initially
called water as ‘’MUM’’ at that time kiss him, praise him so that slowly he can
start calling it as water similarly instead of taking out the mistake of our new
employees.
If we praise them daily for 1 minute for
their good work than they will become more productive and sincere for their job
through 1 minute praising, Mr. Levy has explained that we should praise our
group members immediately.
We should specify the right thing that they
have done shake hand in order to show that you support their success and
lastly.
Encourage them to do more such work after
that Mr. Levy told him to meet Ms. Brown and meeting Mr. Levy that man went to
meet Ms. Brown.

Which should not be repeated again every the company invest lots of their time and money in order to make their employee skillful that’s why they expect that their employee should not make any mistake and if they have done any mistake, they should rectify it and don’t repeat that mistake again.
