Finally, ita basic fact that people wont say what they think and wonlisten receptively to what you say unless a foundation of trust and shared interest has been laid.
In an effective management environment, people shouldnbe punished for being open; especially in situation when they took the risk to tell you what they think. For example, if I am in a position when someone disagrees with my plan and tried to make a suggestion, Id be very delicate about the way I tell them I don't agree with them. However, Id encourage them to come back to me the next time and make another suggestion. .
I see an importance in having a skill to motivate people. In an effective management environment, leaders should show the employees that he will take risks and encourages them to do the same. In the past modules, Ive learned that using fear is a poor motivator. Companies that are run on that basis will end up with a work force of resentful employees. An ideal environment would be a place where someone feels a real sense of purpose, the feeling that they are valuable. This is where I believe a true motivation comes from, not just to work but to excel. To do this, I believe people need to be recognized, be included, be encouraged, and be involved. Glory should be shared with everyone in an organization and a clear understanding how value individuals are. Id like to see employees be given the freedom to work as they see fit, and convey their belief in their abilities by getting out of the way. In other words, an effective leader in an organization should show people that he or she trusts, respect, and care about his people. As a result, he will be surrounded by motivated people. .
Another way to motivate people is to express genuine interest in others. Ive learned that managers shouldnbe remote. They need to touch base with people on a regular basis so that everyone knows there is a time when they are actually going to be accessible with me.
