The Effective Manager

Anyone can be a manager but not many are effective managers. So, what are the qualities that make an effective manager?

An effective manager…

-> knows his client

-> is accountable

-> is a good communicator

-> is a born fire-fighter

-> is a good delegator

-> is confident but not over-confident

-> builds relationships easily

-> thinks & talks process

The skills or qualities I have listed above are purely based on my own experiences. It is incomplete and I will keep adding to it but this is good enough for a start. I strongly believe in these simply because I am a walking talking proof of it. Well, most of it. While it took me 5 yrs of my work life to fine tune and master some of them, I know I have more to learn.

What is your secret of being an effective manager?
