Don't Throw Your New Managers to the Wolves -- Train Them!

Techniques To Train New Managers

Businesses are notorious for throwing its newly appointed managers to the wolves, many times failing to Supply even the most basic manageMent training. When this is the case, organizational productivity is determined to suffer.

The Wolves

Perhaps the shortest and easiest to read high potential manageMent book ever written is The One-Minute boss by Kenneth Blanchard and Spencer Johnson. While this wee manageMent book was first published in 1981, it is still ready from your local bookstore.

The authors Supply two basic manageMent law that I believe every new boss should understand and be prepared to practice -- the One wee Praising and the One wee Reprimand.

The One-Minute Praising

The One-Minute Praising enables managers to help their habitancy perceive their full potential by catching them doing something right. The One wee Praising works assuredly well when you:

1. Tell habitancy up front that you are going to let them know how they are doing.

2. Praise habitancy immediately.

3. Tell habitancy what they did right -- be specific.

4. Tell habitancy how good you feel about what they did right, and how it helps the society and the other habitancy who work there.

5. Stop for a occasion of silence to let them "feel" how good you feel.

6. Encourage them to do more of the same.

7. Shake hands or touch habitancy in a way that makes it clear that you withhold their success in the organization.

The One-Minute Reprimand

The One-Minute Reprimand works well when you:

1. Tell habitancy beforehand that you are going to let them know how they are doing and in no uncertain terms.
The first half of the reprimand:

2. Reprimand habitancy immediately.

3. Tell habitancy what they did wrong -- be specific.

4. Tell habitancy how you feel about what they did wrong -- and in no uncertain terms.

5. Stop for a few seconds of uncomfortable silence to let them feel how you feel.

The second half of the reprimand:

6. Shake hands, or touch them in a way that lets them know you are assuredly on their side.

7. Remind them how much you value them.

8. Reaffirm that you think well of them but not of their performance in this situation.

9. perceive that when the reprimand is over, it's over.

It's the boss' Job to manage, and to remember that to carry on is an active verb. The worst kind of boss is the kind that is not willing to say to the employee's face what they so often say to fellow managers behind the employees back. This kind of management behavior is time moving and unproductive.

Managers are doing neither themselves or their firm any favors when they don't take benefit of employee behavior as an occasion to teach. After all, managing habitancy requires many of the same skills as raising children. The most sufficient managers care enough about their habitancy to organize them.
