Edge Management

Here are 12 nuggets of management information that can easily be applied to improve you management skills now.

1.   Fix the problem, not the blame - It is far more productive, and less expensive, to figure out what to do to fix a problem that has come up than it is to waste time trying to decide who’s fault it was.

2.   Tell people what you want, not how to do it - You will find people more responsive and less defensive if you can give them guidance not instructions.

3.   Lead by example - Be a leader: it’s tougher than being a manager, but it’s worth it.

4.   Delegate the easy stuff - The things you do well are the things to delegate. Hold on to those that are challenging and difficult. That is how you will grow.

5.   Learn from the mistakes of others - You can’t live long enough to make them all yourself.
