As a leader, there are few things you should not do.
a. Being Too "Hands-Off"
One of your team has just
completed an important project. The problem is that he misunderstood
the project's specification, and you didn't stay in touch with him as
he was working on it. Now, he's completed the project in the wrong
way, and you're faced with explaining this to an angry client.
Many leaders want to
avoid micromanagement. But going to the opposite extreme (with a
hand-offs management style) isn't a good idea either – you need to
get the balance right.
b. Being Too Friendly
Most of us want to be
seen as friendly and approachable to people in our team. After all,
people are happier working for a manager that they get on with.
However, you'll sometimes have to make tough decisions regarding
people in your team, and some people will be tempted to take
advantage of your relationship if you're too friendly with them.
This doesn't mean that
you can't socialize with your people. But, you do need to get the
balance right between being a friend and being the boss.
Learn how to do avoid
this mistake with our article, Now You're the Boss. Also, make sure
that you set clear boundaries, so that team members aren't tempted to
take advantage of you.
