Are you sick of tired people using you? Do you waste a lot of time and money on people who requires a lot of supervision and your energy so they can do a simple task for you? Are you in a position of managing people? If you are, then you have to manage people.
Here are 4 secret tips to managing people!
1. Set clear rules and guidelines
When managing people, you have to set clear rules and guidelines. This is because if you don’t set people rules and guidelines, they will get lazy and slack. For instance, if you get people to clean a kitchen at work, their interpretation of cleaning will be just cleaning the pots and pans but not the stove and floor. So therefore, you should set strict rules like cleaning kitchen involves cleaning all floors, pots, pans, stove etc.
2. When setting up rules and guidelines, always set the bare highest reasonable goals you want them to meet
People in general will always do the minimal or littlest work possible. So, when setting up your rules and guidelines, you have to make sure they meet your maximum goals that you want them to reach. If you set your goals at a minimum or bearable limit, then the output of work they want to give you is small or poor. Hence, if you give them guidelines and rules that are high, than the output of work is of higher quality and quantity.
3. When giving people tasks to do, set a deadline
Always give people a deadline to do when giving people tasks to do. This is because when you give them a deadline, you make them more focused at the job they are doing and making sure they complete the task on time. If you don’t, they will leave the job later and will tend to slack off with their work.
4. Only give rewards or compliments when they have done a good job
If you are a person who rewards a person because you are a nice person, then you are at risk of being abused or exploited by your employees. Only give your workers rewards/bonuses or compliments when they have done a good job and you are genuine about it. If you are not genuine with your compliments, then your workers may feel that you are dishonest to them and may see you as not a good boss for them. Therefore, always give rewards and compliments which are genuine and after they have done a good job.
