How to manage people?
Remember LEARN
1. Learn
Before one starts leading people, he/she needs to be competent, skillful, and capable. If one cannot handle new situations, he will fail to manage people.
2. Examine Expectations.
Before managing people, it is imperative to have a fair idea about their expectations. All human beings are not alike. Expectations, needs, skills, motives differ. You can manage some with money, but all cannot be lured with money. Some expect more work; some want responsibility; some long for appreciation. Have an idea about expectations.
3. Act like you care
Listen to them carefully. Listen to their ideas. People become disconnected if they are not heard. Treat them as professionals. Make no value judgments. Provide follow-up opportunities.
4. Respect them as professionals.
Treating people with respect and offering recognition when earned are critical elements of managing people. No matter what else is going on, if people do not get respect and recognition, they will eventually be unhappy and unproductive.
5. Never stifle personal growth
Create opportunities for personal growth to manage them and motivate them. If you spend your energies controlling them and keeping them growing, you will have no energy left to grow. Create an atmosphere of innovation.
These are some points you can keep in mind while preparing a presentation.
