The Qualities of Extraordinary Managers
Organizations are run by employees and managed by managers. If you ask for the qualities of successful managers, you will hear a lot about their traits. Most managers do four common things: managing employees well, listening to them, recognizing them, and empowering them. These can be termed as good management skills that are vital to achieving success but are not enough. Apart from these common skills, what does an extraordinary manager do more? What does he do differently? What makes an ordinary manager become an extraordinary manager? What are the significant factors, patterns of behavior, and thought processes that separate extraordinary managers, making their subordinates willing to go to any extent to achieve goals?
The Role of Extraordinary Managers in Challenging Times
In the present business environment, you don’t simply need managers to have ordinary/common skills but extraordinary managers who navigate the ship in turbulent times and are capable of taking the organization out of bad weather. They do something more than simply managing. They create situations and an environment where things happen as they want. They make things happen. And that ‘something’ is the ability to inspire, connect, and make their ordinary employees believe that they can do extraordinary things. The core is developing the belief in employees’ self for doing extraordinary. Without performing superhuman acts, they simply sharpen employees’ skills to show how they can become incredible. They express faith in their abilities, stand by their side when it counts most for them, and protect them. While you find most managers talking, these extraordinary managers communicate straight from the heart by shunning corporate language and becoming honest, forthcoming, and helpful in their messaging. They deliver with intent, meaning, and feeling. They are highly adaptable to change and daring, identifying the strengths of their employees and turning problems into learning opportunities through leading by example. Demonstrating how the most difficult issues could be resolved easily helps people believe in such managers beyond boundaries. They demonstrate positivity, dedication, a focused approach, persistence, and goal orientation. They model the attitude and behavior they want from their employees in the organization.
Evolving from Good to Extraordinary
Evolving from a good manager to an extraordinary manager requires nothing more than additional focus with an innovative approach and realistic optimism. Overcoming the fear of failure is a sign of confidence, and developing this confidence in employees helps them deliver extraordinary results from ordinary people.
The cover story of this issue is all about this species of managers. The extraordinary people of the management world are sharing their wealth of knowledge and experience as to what helps transform an ordinary manager into an extraordinary one.
