Manager's Minute 

When you've only got a minute for management you haven't got a minute to waste.

Management Tips

When you give feedback, always give it in terms of the 5 senses - See, Touch, Taste, Hear, Smell - Stick to the facts and be specific.

Avoid generalising and labelling. e.g.

That was great. What was? Rather say "I really appreciate it that you got the report in on time."

This is a terrible job! What is terrible about it? Is it all terrible or just some of it? Rather say. "These edges are supposed to be smooth but these are very rough."

Feedback No-No

Never belittle or insult the person that you are giving feedback to.

The only way that you can really grow as a manager is to ensure that you grow someone into your position.

By helping people to do their work better, you help them to develop pride in themselves and to enjoy their work more.

When people are proud of themselves and the work they do they tend to do it better.

When people enjoy the work that they do they are much more productive and participative.

We get what others think that we expect.
Don't take the risk that they misinterpret your expectations.
Make your expectations clear.

To live your best life be true to the YOU, that you want to be.

Live with passion. Change your life from making a living to making a difference.

Live up to the reputation that you want to have.
