What makes business stay in business? Efficiency and effectiveness? Leadership style? All these and more are sure to bring success to a business in general. A person who manage a business would entail a lot more than just knowing the different leadership styles or different management theories.
The rule of good managers are very fond of what we call the "personal touch". Their personalities demand for loyalty, commitment and camaraderie rather than no-personal traits. Many managers and subordinates understand the feelings, sympathies, expressions of support and to some extent flatteries. Attributes such as objectivity, aloofness, professionalism and the like, even if these are the right tools to use some occasions, the managers, will still receive the criticism he/she may not deserve. We need to coat out impersonal goals of efficiency and effectiveness with camaraderie, cooperation or loyalty. This may not mean 100% efficiency but it is one indirect way of communicating to a subordinate confidence and belief of the managers or boss on his/her capabilities.
Many consultants and practitioners suggest various tools and techniques to cope with such problems. Some tactics may be employed with a word of caution-the things enumerated here may not be true for all cases and occasions. This could be used only if the need arises and after a thorough analysis of the circumstance besetting the business.
1. Never say "Never"
Leave the door open for reconciliation, for change, for improvements for making amendments.Fortune changes. People change their situation; today, you have problems with them, tomorrow, you may need them. If you leave the door open, or say "It depends" or "Let's see", then you leave the options or alternatives for tomorrow. You can never tell what will happen tomorrow. Be firm, true; but be flexible.
2. Choose your ground
Do not fight in a hostile environment where you do not have support or resources. Choose your battle ground. Don't team up with unfriendly cliques groups. Stay away from unfamiliar and unfriendly territory.
3. No hassle rule
Good managers try so simplify always. Then seek the most direct shorter route to the solution to the problem. Sometimes, they are not concerned with the proceeds, the method, or the route. They want to know the reason and why. They want to know the end results. They do not want unnecessary hassles.They avoid trouble if possible.
