The making of an elite young company-be an early success story!
Success at the earliest!
A band of go-getters who let nothing stand in the way. ‘Age no bar’ is the axiom, the consequence- a breed of young achievers, an age when prodigies abound! Few realize that there’s more to it and merely achieving is not enough.
What goes into the making of this elite young company?
A vibrant personality
To join the ranks of a manager you need to spruce up your self. A spring in your step and a warm and friendly disposition is better than a standoffish manner.
It is imperative for you to be calm, collected, and confident. Get people around you to listen to you without trying to be a ‘know-it-all’. After all, who would want to work with a sullen-faced, egoistic boor?
Mind your language
There wouldn’t be a beat in what you say if you fumble over your grammar and say the wrong things at the wrong time. Chances are your subordinates may brush aside your experience, belittle your knowledge. There’s nothing like a great vocabulary to help you get your thoughts and ideas across. It is noticed that people with good communication skills have an edge over the rest!
Originality does it!
Finding viable solutions, contributing quality ideas are sure to get you into the good graces of important people. Build a reputation of being original, genuine, concise and eager. Be practical, always having the final objective in mind. While executing ideas make full use of the resources at hand.
Handling with care
The job of a manager will require extensive people management skills. Getting things done in record time and not compromising on quality involves motivating people, goading them if necessary but making sure that their work output does not suffer because of your overbearing attitude.
Credit where credit is due
Working in a group, not being a ‘Prima Donna’ is one of the first lessons that one needs to learn. Learn to view things objectively and commend good work irrespective of who did it. Be a team player, and engage in team building efforts whenever you can. Be open to sharing your ideas with others and don’t be closed to suggestions.
Best among equals
Unless you excel and out-do competition, there’s no way you can make it to the top. Make sure you get all the exposure you can now because “it is reassuring for people to feel they have a boss, someone who knows the answers and has charted the course” (George Cukor).
Don’t shirk responsibility, remember genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration". Reckon with weaknesses and compensate for them. Work towards excellence, knowing that effective managers are a breed apart!
