In the dynamic landscape of organizational leadership, The CEF-Udima Group has illuminated a path to managerial excellence through its recently unveiled guide. This comprehensive resource delineates twelve distinctive traits that form the cornerstone of effective management within their esteemed organization. From adept communication skills and resilience to empathy and leadership acumen, these recommendations encapsulate a spectrum of competencies crucial for any manager striving for success.
Leadership
Joining a team to achieve a goal with motivation and commitment is an innate ability of the best managers. The leader must discover and strengthen the skills of those who form his team, like a coach who accompanies, instructs, and trains its members.
Knowing How to Delegate
A good manager must be able to delegate functions among his team members, making them responsible for the correct execution of tasks, either individually or to a group of workers. You must know how to discern which tasks can be delegated for this.
Ability to Build Equipment
Do not confuse a group of workers with a “team” that is organized, motivated, and disciplined. A team must share achievements and failures to set aside particular objectives to achieve collective goals.
Know How to Communicate
Both orally and in writing, communication must adapt to the various interlocutors, subordinates, superiors, etc. It will be essential to choose the best moments, means, and ways to carry out communication.
Problem-Solving Ability
The primary skill is to avoid them, anticipating the emergence of conflictive or problematic situations. Since this does not always happen, the manager must put all their capabilities at stake to solve problems in the best possible way and with the least negative consequences.
Resilience
It is the ability to adapt positively to adverse situations. A good manager must decide when and how to transfer complex problems to his team members, motivating him to solve the problematic moments that companies often go through.
Technical Skills
Management skills will be useless if the manager does not have a background of technical knowledge that allows him to supervise and distribute the work among his team members. In addition, you must be a reference for your team, contributing their knowledge when necessary.
Empathy and Social Skills
Empathy is the ability to perceive, share, and understand what another being can feel; this is a vital skill of any manager, who must have the ability to put himself in the position of his collaborators. This relationship will generate a good working environment and good relationships and strengthen ties between team members.
Fluency in Decision-Making
Much of the manager’s time is used to make decisions, so optimizing that process will significantly contribute to his success. It will also be crucial to make every decision at the right time; delays can make a decision no longer accurate.
Strategic Skills
A manager must be able to set priorities and design action plans to achieve the established objectives. In short, the manager must be a strategist.
Ability to Manage Changes
As Heraclitus said: “Everything flows, changes, nothing remains constant.” Managers must be able to lead changes, one of the challenges that currently adapt to the digitalization of companies.
Ability to Recognize and Reward
A team that sees its effort recognized and rewarded will increase its motivation and involvement to achieve the objectives established by its leader.
All in All
It may sound like you have to follow specific steps and take some measurements, and you’ll be good to go. However, that is not true. There are no fixed rules, but there are characteristics that you must work on. A manager is someone people look up to; your image and character must be strong, and you must be excellent at engaging and helping your team with their problems.
