Here are some of the top mistakes managers make. These mistakes relate to our topic of discussion, focusing on relationships between managers and employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first one is a very common one: Not establishing goals with plans to get there.\u00a0 You cannot run a business without a goal. And you can\u2019t make the goal without a plan to get there. That is probably the number one mistake you\u2019re going to find in most management materials, not establishing goals and plans to get there.\u00a0 A goal without a plan will result in you still looking at the goal when the year or specific period is over. he plan is like a roadmap.\u00a0 As you journey from one place to another, there are landmarks, or milestones along the way.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0 It may be a place to eat, a place to sleep, a stop for a rest at a park or viewing a mountain in the distance.\u00a0 You need to go past each of them to get to your destination. The same is true for a business goal. \u00a0You need the milestones along the way confirm that you are moving in the right direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second one is: Losing Focus.\u00a0 Distraction is the enemy of success. Once you\u2019ve made the plan, are you focusing on getting there? Or are you allowing yourself to become distracted? If you allow yourself to become distracted, you\u2019re going to have a hard time reaching that goal and a hard time following the path to get there. \u00a0Distractions can be managed.\u00a0 The hardest part is identifying them up front.\u00a0 Here is one example.\u00a0 Read your emails at set times during the day, not continually as the day progresses.\u00a0 We all need times of focus to take our responsibilities to the next level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Number three is: Failing to know employees. Managers who do not know their employees do not motivate them and will not get the best from them.\u00a0 Periodically, I\u2019m going to bring up a reference to parenting. If you\u2019re a parent, you\u2019ll be able to relate to this. If you\u2019re not, think about your parents and their relationships to you.\u00a0 I am not saying that you need to treat your employees like children. What I am saying is that it is very important for you to know your employees from the same perspective that parents know their children.\u00a0 You need to know your employees so that you know what motivates them.\u00a0 I will cover this in more detail in future posts.\u00a0 You will be glad you did!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
