5. How you can treat everyone equally as manager?
The tendency is to give more positive recognition to the people who remind us of ourselves somehow and who actually like us, rather than to the people who make the biggest contributions to the organization. In the long run, it's people in the latter group who will make the most progress in achieving the organization's goals, so monitor your own behavior carefully and make sure you're not accidentally short-changing them, even if they give you the impression that your positive regard doesn't affect them. Some people shy away from positive feedback but appreciate it nonetheless.
6. How you can communicate effectively?
1) Don't be one of those managers who inadvertently makes an employee feel like they're bothering you when they bring up a question or concern. Instead of seeing it as another crisis to manage, look at it as an opportunity to show your employee how much you want this organization to be a fulfilling place to work.
2) Never minimize or dismiss the concerns of your employees, and always make sure that you've answered their questions completely.
7. How do you offer the goal-oriented feedbacks?
Meet in small teams or one-on-one, and go over your comments in detail.
Set up a schedule for feedback. Offer it regularly so that your employees know when to expect it and can make space for it in their workflows.
8. On what the good relationships are mainly based?
Good relationships are based on trust, commitment and engagement, and a good managers essential role is to build these relationships for the benefit of the organisation, so that the tasks that are set are completed with enthusiasm, effectively, on time and with the energy to do more.
9. How you can ask questions as manager in meeting?
Intelligent questions show that you can follow the flow of the conversation and clarify when necessary. Don't be afraid to ask questions because you're worried about appearing "stupid." Effective managers care about understanding what's important; they don't care about how they get there. Know, too, that others will probably have questions and may not ask. If you ask their question for them, you can act as a facilitator and build your team's engagement level. That's the true mark of a manager.
10. How do you treat with your employees?
If you're good to your workers and they're happy with their jobs, they'll pass that kindness on to customers and invaluably bolster the image of your company. Or, they'll do the same for their employees and maintain a positive corporate culture.
