How good are your direct reports as managers?

Take a minute and think about your direct reports, how good are their management skills? Do you see any of the following:

1. They are poor role models of values?

2. Their people are not growing?

3. There are too many meetings?

4. Lack of ideas from grass roots?

5. Lack of praise from managers? Punishment?

6. They are poor listeners and learners?

These are all symptoms of poor leadership skills.

To overcome the problem managers need to make the following changes:

1. Stop managing the work and start managing the workplace

2. Stop controlling people and start supporting people

3. Stop telling others what to do and start seeking ideas from them

4. Stop stifling initiative/ideas and start encouraging initiative/ideas

5. Reduce horizontal barriers and increase networks and project teams.
