Project management, IT managers

Nothing more rewarding in your career as a manager than the feeling of love and respect you get form your employees. Managing is not an easy task, successful managers are like leaders, they are responsible for the well-being of their countries and their people.

Managing is more than a job and responsibilities; it’s about building relations, if you are managing a group of workers it’s real crucial to build in engaging relationship with them.
I have seen real boost in morals and productivity levels when:
1-Managers listen
2-Managers keep their promises
3-Managers treat each employee as a valuable asset to the company
4-Managers are easy to approach and talk to
5-Managers give timely and honest feedbacks to employees
6-Managers take responsibility and remain calm in time of crises
7-Managers participate with employees in social activities out side the work place
8-Managers help employees advance in their careers
9-Managers communicate employees concerns to upper management
10-Managers are polite, but firm on their demands
11-And finally managers are the best at their jobs

This list is not comprehensive, but I have practiced the above points when ever I had to manage a group of employees and it always gave me positive results and in some instance a life-time friendship.
