Last night Jay wrote about how his interviewing process has changed to avoid hiring the Master Interviewer. Today on Lifehack.org, Chris reaches out for some help regarding his new internship and Rosa Say, author of Managing with Aloha, provides some great feedback.
Here is an excerpt that lists some things to focus on as you move into a managing role:
- Learn that management is very visible, and your behavior shines like the brightest neon light.
- Learn to listen well, and listen way more than you speak. Learn to ask great questions.
- Learn to respect the dignity and intelligence of other people, no matter where they sit on the organizational chart.
- Learn to identify and employ strengths in others in ways that make their weaknesses irrelevant.
- Learn that in working with others, managers must “do with,” not “do for.”
- Learn to catch people doing things right, and give others credit where credit is due.
- Learn that being a great manager is a calling, not a promotion.
