PART THREE:

Be a great manager

WHY?

Scientifically-proven benefits of being a great manager:

• Higher team performance

• Higher team satisfaction and lower turnover

• Greater team commitment

No great manager or leader ever fell from heaven; it’s learned, not inherited.

-Tom Northup

HOW?

Google has run hundreds of controlled experiments on its managers to determine the 8 best behaviors (most important first):

1. Be a good coach

o Provide specific, constructive feedback, balancing the negative and the positive

o Have regular one-on-ones, presenting solutions to problems tailored to your employees’ specific strengths

2. Empower your team and don’t micromanage

o Balance giving freedom to your employees, while still being available for advice

o Make “stretch” assignments to help the team tackle big problems

3. Express interest in team members’ success and personal well-being

o Get to know your employees as people, with lives outside of work

o Make new members of your team feel welcome and ease their transition

4. Be productive and results-oriented

o Focus on what employees want the team to achieve and how they can help achieve it

o Help the team prioritize work and use seniority to remove roadblocks

5. Be a good communicator and listen to your team

o Communication is two-way: you both listen and share information

o Hold all-hands meetings and be straightforward about the messages and goals of the team, help the team connect the dots

o Encourage open dialogue and listen to the issues and concerns of your employees

6. Help your employees with career development

o Provide them with books about their interests

o Introduce them to possible mentors

7. Have a clear vision and strategy for the team

o Even in the midst of turmoil, keep the team focused on goals and strategy

o Involve the team in setting and evolving the team’s vision and making progress toward it

8. Have key technical skills so you can help advise the team

o Roll up your sleeves and work side by side with the team, when needed

o Understand the specific challenges of the work

A good manager is a man who isn't worried about his own career but rather the careers of those who work for him.

-H.S.M. Burns

The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.

-George Bernard Shaw
