In every large organization, there's a hierarchy
of management that keeps the whole operation
running smoothly. A good manager is able to blend
into the background, changing small things here
and there to great effect. Being a good manager is
about leading by example.

There are several tricks of the trade that will help you
successfully manage all your responsibility:
 Make people feel good. The successful manager is great at
identifying his employees' strengths and applauding them every
once in a while. That's because good managers know that
happy people make productive people. Try to applaud your
employees' strengths both publicly and privately.

 Tell your employees how much you appreciate them from
time to time. Just go out and say it. Ask them out for a cup of
coffee and tell them what you appreciate about them: They're
a hard worker; they're easy to coach; they always cheer you
up, etc. Don't mince words — just tell them straight out. An
employee who knows just how much they are appreciated will
work harder, enjoy what they do more, and pass that psychic
happiness along to other employees.

 Hold yourself to the highest standards. We all know the
kind of manager who constantly shouts or bitterly complains
when mistakes are made but gives himself a 'pass' when he
fails. Don't be this kind of manager. Ideally, be harder to on
yourself than you are on your employees.
This can have a trickle-down effect: Employees see the types
of goals and standards you set for yourself and want to
emulate you because they look up to you.

 Delegate. You're a manager because you're good at what you
do, but that doesn't mean you're supposed to do everything
yourself. Your job as a manager is to teach other people how to
do a good job.
 Acknowledge your own missteps. When things don't turn out
the way you expected, recognize what you could have done
differently and verbalize this realization to your employees. This
shows them that you make mistakes too, and it also shows them
how they should handle their own mistakes.

 Keep the door open. Always remind people that if they have
any questions or concerns, you're ready and willing to listen.
Maintaining an open channel of communication will make you
aware of problems quickly, so that you can fix them as soon
as possible.

 Take an interest in your employees. Don't make every
interaction with your workers strictly business. Ask after their
well-being, chat with them about yourself, and establish a
personal connection.
 Ask questions. Intelligent questions show that you can follow
the flow of the conversation and clarify when necessary. Don't
be afraid to ask questions because you're worried about
appearing “stupid.“
 Treat everyone equally.

CONCLUSION
The most important thing of being a good
manager is confidence. Just trust yourelf and learn
through your mistakes because there is more than
one way to establish yourself as a leading
candidate of the manager of the year.

"BAD MANAGERS TELL EMPLOYEES WHAT
TO DO, GOOD MANAGERS EXPLAIN WHY THEY
NEED TO DO IT, BUT GREAT MANAGERS INVOLVE
PEOPLE IN DECISION MAKING AND
IMPROVEMENT."
