The ultimate management survival tip

Survival kit laid out on frosty ground

I saw a blog which asked, “What is your ultimate management survival tip?”

What would you say if asked that question?

I posted a comment that went like this…

Think of management as a service you provide to people to help them do their jobs.

The customers of your management service pay with effort, loyalty, and integrity.

The better service you provide, the more they will pay.

So, do your market research… ask people individually how they want you to provide your management service to them, and experiment with different ways of providing the service and see what works best.

Ultimately, the consumers of your management service are the ones who get to decide if your management service is quality, or not.

And you will know their decision by how much they ‘pay’ you.

How much do your staff ‘pay’ you for your management service?

Would you like them to ‘pay’ more?

My best wishes, Paul
