Managers are humans too, and thus are not great at everything. We have all heard the expression "it takes an army to get it done", and in most cases it really does. Managers require assistance, and lean on their team members to get the job done. Therefore it's very important for managers to be honest with themselves and know what areas they are lacking in. Once a manager knows exactly the skills that they are lacking, they can surrounded themselves with the talent needed to get the job done. Some managers try to do it themselves, and teach themselves skills so that they can get the job done. However, as much as it is important to learn new skills, managers must pick and chose what they will teach themselves. As, time spent learning new skills is time not spent doing what the manager is great at. Here are some pointers for managers:
  • Be honest with yourself about what you are great at.
  • Chose carefully which new skills you are willing to teach yourself.
  • Surround yourself with team members that will complement your own skills and be great at the things that you are great at.
