Ask HN: What are the management principles you use to be a better manager?

4 pointsby pravjalmost 5 years ago
Everyone has a management style unique to themselves.<p>But the overall objective converges to delivering results, improving&#x2F;preparing the team for tomorrow, and building a shared value (behind why we do what we do).<p>What exactly do you do to focus on these three areas as a manager?<p>One can find multiple articles on the internet where people are talking about doing regular 1:1, but I consider this as a preliminary step and looking for more than that.<p>I tried creating a framework to answer this question for myself. And that&#x27;s where I want to understand if there is anything I can borrow from others.<p>In my case, I divided my contribution to the team members in different categories, and have created a set of questions to ask myself periodically<p>- For a productive time, I ask&#x2F;nudge the team member to see if they are well aware of their time spent or if I am wasting their time at any point with some unnecessary demand?<p>- For a better personal connection and relationship, I have pledged to solve a non-work problem for a team member every month.<p>- For a continuous change, we are working towards doing something thought-provoking (explicit agenda) periodically.<p>Are there similar methods&#x2F;checkpoints you use to ensure you contribute your full potential to your team?<p>It will be great to learn how you have been working to meet the same objective.
