• For New Managers: How to Motivate and Lead

  Are you a new manager? Starting your new position may prove more difficult than you imagined. Suddenly you have new responsibilities to the people around you, and you must learn how to strike balances in your work policies and interpersonal attitude. An LMS course can help, but so can some simple practices.

   

  Take time to get to know the people you are managing. Even if you have worked beside these people for years, that doesn't necessarily mean you really know them. Find out what's exciting or interesting for them, how to motivate them, and what concerns they may have. If you get to know them as individuals, you will be able to more effectively manage them.

   

  This leads into a second good practice for new managers; avoid showing everyone who is in charge. If you may have just been promoted to manager, you might feel that you know everything there is to know about your area. However, you still must learn how to manage other people, so be sure to listen to those in your group and ask for the input when you need it.
