3 Things Every First-Time Manager Should Know

3 Things Every First-Time Manager Should Know These days it’s not uncommon for younger people to be managing their elders. In a new multi-generational leadership study conducted by Future Workplace and Beyond, 83% of respondents said they had seen a millennial supervising Gen Xers or baby boomers in their workplace. And yet, says Rich Milgram, founder and CEO of Beyond, “a significant portion of the older employees they’re managing don’t have faith in their abilities.” As more millennials become bosses, it would be ideal if all companies offered management trainingâ€"after all, managing uses a different set of skills than making an individual contribution. But too often companies do not prepare their newly promoted employees to effectively lead for the first time. I recently coached at a fast-growing technology company and was given the floor at its first company offsite to discuss management best practicesâ€"in 10 minutes! You can’t teach management in 10 minutes. However, if you’re managing your first team, here are three key points to remember: Let your team determine your management style There are two ends of the management spectrum. At one extreme is the directive style: The manager gives a command and expects you to follow. The other extreme is the coaching style, where the manager explains the objectives of the assignment and collaborates with you to create the best process and environment to get it done. Of course, there is a range of gradations in between. As a manager, you will have your natural style, and your tendency will be to apply it to everyone. Beware the one-size-fits-all approach. The best managers adapt between directing and coaching depending on what each team member needs. Some people require more structure and respond better to a directive management style; others thrive with more collaboration and coaching. Timing is a factor too: A short deadline can make the coaching style unrealistic, and a long-term complex project can make the directive style unworkable. Observe your own tendencies, and consider each team member as an individual. Be aware that you can choose (and change) your management style based on the person and the situation. Focus on the what, not the how Many managers get promoted because they are good at doing a job. Then, when they start managing someone else doing that same job, there is a temptation to focus on how to do the work, not just what needs to get done. Of course, it is helpful to share best practices and shortcuts and save someone else the time and the grief of learning from scratch. However, your team member doesn’t work the same way that you do, so what worked for you won’t necessarily work for her. Best practices also evolve over time, and what made you so effective may not work as well now. Instead, keep your focus on the goal (the “what”) and let your team determine the best way to get there (the “how). Of course, you should check in and course-correct as needed, but your role as a manager is to have a very clear picture of the goal, the metrics that let you know whether it’s being met, each person’s target contributionâ€"and support your team as it gets the work done. By focusing on the goal and not any one process, you don’t fall into the trap of micromanaging your team. Get to know the people behind the work If you can clearly explain the goals and manage your team according to how each person works best, then you will have a high functioning team. If you can also get to know each personâ€"their motivations, their personal interests, their concernsâ€"then you’ll have a team built on relationships, not just transactions. You’ll probably also have more fun! Meet with your team members individually, not just as a group. Use these meetings to check in on the work, of course, but also on how they’re feeling. Meeting over lunch is a great way of making the discussion more social. Good management practice is not just for multi-generational leadership; it can help in any situation. Get to know your team. Don’t micro-manage. Adapt your style to what works best for each individual. These are management principles all levels and backgrounds can appreciate.

Class Of 2010 Boomerang Kids Are Unemployed, Hitting The Couch Becoming K.I.P.P.E.R.S - Work It Daily

Class Of 2010 Boomerang Kids Are Unemployed, Hitting The Couch Becoming K.I.P.P.E.R.S - Work It Daily By CAREEREALISM Founder, J.T. O'Donnell 3.2M students graduated from college this spring, but less than 25% of them had job offers. So, what happens to all the rest? They go back home. Referred to as 'boomerang kids' for their return to their parent's abode after graduation, this summer, a large percentage of 20'somethings will find themselves on the couch becoming K.I.P.P.E.R.S. (Kids In Parents Pockets Eating Retirement Savings). It's no wonder why so many parents are over-stepping their bounds in an effort to get their children jobs. However, continuing to micro-manage a student's life after college: A) Won't help them learn how to take care of themselves. B) Doesn't do much for their self-esteem. Which means, parents need to stop hovering and start pointing their child towards resources that will teach their child how to find a job on their own. Two Current Options for Job Seeking Grads One option is their college career center. But, if the school isn't local, they may find this resource a dead end. Another option is to invest in private career coaching - a great service, if you can afford it. Now, Here's a Third... At CAREEREALISM.com, we just launched the 2.o version of our 24/7 Career Center, called CAREEREALISM Club. Staffed with approved career experts who work with members in real-time, the program provides job seekers with an unprecedented amount of cutting-edge career tools and job search support. As a top 10 career advice site, we knew we needed to create a 'Career HMO' for job seekers. This tool has the capacity to cut a job seeker's search time in half by providing the type of inspiration, education and connection needed to land a job in today's economy. Plus, Exclusive Access to Our Talent Promotion Program To celebrate it's launch, we are discounting 100 memberships for recent college grads to join our CAREEREALISM Club. Besides access to our tools and resources, we offer a program called CAREEREALISM University. Recent grads who join and complete CAREEREALISM University can earn a certification that shows employers their readiness for work. Better still, when they complete the certification, they get invited to join an exclusive group on LinkedIn (the #1 career social network) where we will help them connect with potential employers. In short, it's the chance for a recent grad to learn the vital life skills of job search, earning them a job in the process. Our Desire for WOMP = Special Deal for Grads The first 100 students who join here can do so for a one-time fee of $39. (The normal cost is $75/year.) Why are we doing this? Because we want to be able to show how powerful our program is. Instead of wasting money on advertising, we think it's smarter to offer this discount to a small group of eager job seekers as a way to create WOMP (Word Of Mouth Potential) for our innovative program. If you know a college student who would benefit from this service, please send them the link. We can only afford to offer this price to the first 100 students who apply. We will shut down the link when we have reached that number, at which point, they can still join, but at the $75/year rate. And, if you have any questions about the program, they can be e-mailed to us at club@workitdaily.com. Have you joined our career growth club?Join Us Today!
