Build trust
Effective managers build strong relationships with their team members, getting to know them as individuals and understanding their strengths and weaknesses. They create a positive work environment where everyone feels valued and supported.
They empower their team members to make decisions and take ownership of their work. They provide resources and support to help them succeed and trust them to get the job done.
They communicate clearly and regularly with the collaborators. They provide feedback, set clear expectations, and keep everyone informed about important updates and changes.
Understand your team
Not every member in your team is the same. Each person needs a different communication style. It is the manager's role to identify what work best with the people in the team and adapt his leading style.
We all have our ups and downs, and for different reasons. But we do not react the same way. Some of us feel more confortable sharing what's going on, some want to keep it for them. This is where it gets tricky for the managers: to identify what your team is going through so you can support, adapt, and continuously lead to get the best out of them, under any circumstances.
Learn from the Feedback
Feedback is a gift, they are essential to grow and become aware of every little things we are maybe not conscious about. Receiving feedback can be difficult because it often involves hearing about our areas of weakness or mistakes we have made, however, it is always an opportunity for us to learn and develop to be a better version of ourself. Furthermore, receiving feedback shows that someone cares enough about us to take the time to provide us with their thoughts and observations.
