A good leader is always looking for ways to improve production and standards. Here are six management skills to be an effective manager you can develop as a leader in working to create a quality effective team.

1. Observation

This is an important aspect that often gets neglected due to the demands of a leader’s time and schedule. Observation and regular visits to the work environment are a priority and should be scheduled into the calendar. Observing employees at work, the procedures, interaction, and workflow is foundational to implementing adjustments to improve results. To have credibility, a leader needs to be seen and be known to be up to date with what is happening in the workplace.

2. Monitor Employee Performance

Employee performance needs to be monitored in mutually acceptable ways. Policies and procedures need to be clear. Conferencing should be on a regular basis and not just when there is a problem. Assessments and evaluations should not be merely all formality or viewed necessary paperwork to be done and filed away. Individual and group conferencing should be undertaken not only to monitor performance but with the expectation of ongoing professional development and support. There should be frequent encouragement and clear criteria for ongoing goals both for the group and the individual.

3. Implementation of Professional Development Programs

Most people’s question is that how to be a good manager so a good leader evaluates weaknesses and provides training and development strategies to strengthen the weaker project manager skills in the team.

4. Demonstrates Working Knowledge and Expertise

Good leadership comes from a place of strong knowledge and experience of the production and process leading to results. If a leader does not possess all the expertise and knowledge personally, then regular consultations with experts involved in the departments should be held. This is important in order to maintain an accurate and informed overall picture.

5. Good Decision Making

Good leadership is characterized by the ability to make good decisions. A leader considers all the different factors before making a decision. Clear firm decisions, combined with the willingness and flexibility to adapt and adjust decisions when necessary, create confidence in the leadership.

6. Ability to Conduct and Evaluate Research

Ongoing review and research are vital in order to keep on the cutting edge in business. While managing the present to ensure ongoing excellence in product and performance, a good leader is also able to look towards the future. Conducting and evaluating research is an important way of planning and being prepared for the future.

Excellent leadership is always proactive rather than reactive. By developing these six managerial skills builds a solid foundation for success.

The American Dreams show was the brainchild of Alan Olsen, CPA, MBA. It was originally created to fill a specific need; often inexperienced entrepreneurs lacked basic information about raising capital and how to successfully start a business.

Alan sincerely wanted to respond to the many requests from aspiring entrepreneurs asking for the information and introductions they needed. But he had to find a way to help in which his venture capital clients and friends would not mind.

The American Dreams show became the solution, first as a radio show and now with YouTube videos as well. Always respectful of interview guest’s time, he’s able to give access to individuals information and inspiration previously inaccessible to the first-time entrepreneurs who need it most.

They can listen to venture capitalists and successful business people explain first-hand, how they got to where they are, how to start a company, how to overcome challenges, how they see the future evolving, opportunities, work-life balance and so much more..
