Recent Business Articles15 Tips on How to Become a Successful Manager
http://www.famouswhy.comYou could be one of those lucky people who seem to be naturally good at public speaking. It is unlikely that you were born with this ability. Great speakers are instinctive and inspired. They also prepare well, learn performance technique and draw heavily on experience to develop their skills. What passes for a natural ease and rapport with an audience is often down to technique.
You can learn to speak effectively in public by going on courses and reading manuals. But there is no substitute for getting out and doing it. If you dislike speaking in public, then take every opportunity to do so. When you speak in public, almost all the aspects that make up your total image come under scrutiny. Your posture, body language, facial expression, use of voice and appearance all matter. The situation is often stressful, because the speaker is being observed and judged by the others. Small quirks, like speaking too quietly or wriggling, which are not particularly noticeable in everyday communication, become intrusive and exaggerated in front of an audience.
These 15 useful tips you help you become one of the most successful managers in the world :
1. Try to learn as much as possible about the people you are working with (needs, family lives, hobbies etc)
2. Keep smiling! Be positive (you can transfer your energy to the others)
3. Have short informal conversation with your employees! (use their first names - it is very important).
4. Be patient and listen to them (encourage them to say more, keep eye-contact and focused attention).
5. Shape your speech according to their expectation and interests.
6. Give a good stroke! (say something nice when you meet them).
7. Don't give orders! Ask questions!
8. Praise people any time for their achievements (they will love it)
9. Have the same behavior and attitude with everybody around you.
10. Identify the sources of conflicts and try to solve them in time.
11. Do not criticize, do not blame do not complain.
12. Show strong determination and try to motivate the others.
13. Don't be moody! Be well-balanced and good-tempered all the time.
14. Don't say "NO!" (replace it with "What if")
15. Don't forget that smart people find solutions to solve the problem, all the others give explanations and make excuses.
