It is often the simple things that provide the solution in the end!
As a boss, project manager or IT manager, two things are essential: talking and listening!
1. ðĨðēðąðēðŧ ðĶðķðē ðšðķð ððĩðŋðēðŧ ð ðķððŪðŋðŊðēðķððēðŋðŧ ððŧðą ððžðđðđðēðīðēðŧ.
Explain the situation transparently and openly.
Keep everyone up to date (regardless of whether things are going well or badly) and remain honest!
2. ððžĖðŋðēðŧ ðĶðķðē ðð: take the needs and suggestions of your employees and colleagues seriously.
As a manager, it is important to understand everyone and to show him or her attention and appreciation.
For these two points to work, you need a common level of communication:
– Avoid ððŪð°ðĩðŊðēðīðŋðķðģðģðē ððŧðąðą ððððððžðŋðąð, use the language level of your counterpart.
– Remove ððŧððŧðžĖððķðīðē ððŪðŋðŋðķðēðŋðēðŧ, such as communication tools that are “annoying” or processes that are complicated.
Communication tools that are “annoying” or processes that are complicated.
– Laugh, be happy, have ðĶð―ðŪÃ ðŪðŧ ðąðēðŋ ððžðšðšððŧðķðļðŪððķðžðŧ.
That motivates you the most!
Projects work best when everyone can talk to each other and understand each other’s needs.
It can be that simple!
For all those who are skeptical: give it a try.
Talk to your colleagues and employees and listen to what they tell you… it helps!
