The
making of an elite young company-be an early success story!
Success at the earliest!
A band of
go-getters who let nothing stand in the way. Age no bar
is the axiom, the consequence- a breed of young achievers, an
age when prodigies abound! Few realize that theres more
to it and merely achieving is not enough.
What goes
into the making of this elite young company?
A vibrant personality
To join the
ranks of a manager you need to spruce up your self. A spring in
your step and a warm and friendly disposition is better than a
standoffish manner.
It is imperative
for you to be calm, collected, and confident. Get people around
you to listen to you without trying to be a know-it-all.
After all, who would want to work with a sullen-faced, egoistic
boor?
Mind your language
There wouldnt
be a beat in what you say if you fumble over your grammar and
say the wrong things at the wrong time. Chances are your subordinates
may brush aside your experience, belittle your knowledge. Theres
nothing like a great vocabulary to help you get your thoughts
and ideas across. It is noticed that people with good communication
skills have an edge over the rest!
Originality does it!
Finding viable
solutions, contributing quality ideas are sure to get you into
the good graces of important people. Build a reputation of being
original, genuine, concise and eager. Be practical, always having
the final objective in mind. While executing ideas make full use
of the resources at hand.
Handling with care
The job of
a manager will require extensive people management skills. Getting
things done in record time and not compromising on quality involves
motivating people, goading them if necessary but making sure that
their work output does not suffer because of your overbearing
attitude.
Credit where credit is due
Working in
a group, not being a Prima Donna is one of the first
lessons that one needs to learn. Learn to view things objectively
and commend good work irrespective of who did it. Be a team player,
and engage in team building efforts whenever you can. Be open
to sharing your ideas with others and dont be closed to
suggestions.
Best among equals
Unless you
excel and out-do competition, theres no way you can make
it to the top. Make sure you get all the exposure you can now
because it is reassuring for people to feel they have a
boss, someone who knows the answers and has charted the course
(George Cukor).
Dont
shirk responsibility, remember genius is one percent inspiration
and ninety-nine percent perspiration". Reckon with weaknesses
and compensate for them. Work towards excellence, knowing that
effective managers are a breed apart!
