How To Be An Emotionally Available Manager
Getting things done through your Team, by inspiring them and motivating them, is not an easy task: this requires application and skill. Always remember one of the Golden Rules of Management, which is that your success is their success, and vice versa!
A big factor in making this work for you is to be tunes into your emotional intelligence and to use the following principles to be emotionally available for your staff:
- Communicating accurately and carefully your feelings and being able to reflect upon them, both immediately and to remember for the future.
- Being able to have meaningful conversations where you share your thoughts, experiences, opinions and memories.
- Showing compassion and empathy and being there for staff who are struggling and who need some support.
- Communicating in a variety of ways, tailored for a range of different people and audiences, when there is an issue: communication is clear, concise and accurate.
- Showing curiosity and compassion, holding back from making a knee-jerk decision on the spot, during times of conflict and uncertainty.
Nothing earth-shatteringly difficult here, just taking the time to consider your impact and how it can create positives and new developments.
Good Luck!
