The document outlines 4 strategies for developing a better management approach: 1) Set appropriate goals that are SMART and meaningful to employees; 2) Develop a plan with the employee to achieve goals, as goals without a plan are just dreams; 3) Empower employees through training, motivation, and balancing their environment; 4) Regularly assess performance beyond annual reviews to make necessary adjustments. Effective management requires studying people management as a learned skill over time.

1. 4 Strategies to develop a
Better Management
Approach

2. Managing people is not an easy
task and we would like to suggest
four approaches to better manager
your team.

3. Set appropriate goals
When we set up goals we help employees to prioritize
their activities and focus their efforts towards our
company strategies.
It is important to set up goals that are SMART
(specific, measurable, action oriented, realistically
high, time and resource bound). And they need to be
meaningful to the employees.

4. Develop a plan to achieve the goals
After setting goals with the employee, put together a
plan to achieve them.
To accomplish any individual goal, the employee will
need to commit to a set of actions.
A goal without an action plan is just a dream. It’s not
real, and it’s not likely to happen.

5. Empower the employee
To maximize the probability that your employees achieve their
goals, empower them. But empowerment is a 03 steps process
based on Training, Motivation and Balancing:
We train our employees to do the tasks necessary to achieve
the company goals.
We motivate them to have the necessary mind set to face the
company challenges.
We provide them a balanced environment to let them working
well and focused.

6. Assess performance and make
adjustments
After following the 03 strategies, it is important to assess
performance, making the necessary changes. We’re not talking
about annual performance evaluations. A formal review may
happen only once a year, but effective management requires
assessing performance much more frequently.

7. Managing people is not an easy task and it’s
not an exact science, based on numbers and
figures.
But the good news is that managing people
well is a learned skill that demands time,
studying and a lot of affection.
