There are many skills that distinguish good managers from the less good and failed ones. According to businessbrief.com, the following four are most important.
1. Ability to link rewards and incentives with corporate goals
Most managers understand the need to come up with incentives that motivate employees to continually better performance. That, however, needs to be combined with corporate goals. Do you reward employees who support corporate values? Do you motivate them to promote it?
2. Ability to complete things
Good managers set goals to support performance of their people and keep their focus on continuous improvement. It is equally important, however, to create a system of reaching performance targets and monitoring new developments in order to further progress.
3. Ability to determine measurable goals based on key benchmarks
Good manager knows that it can be hard to achieve something that can not be measured. Even in case of qualitative goals, measures should always be agreed in advance.
4. Willingness to modify existing processes
Business world is constantly changing and it is the same with incentives that motivate employees.
