How to Identify a Good Manager
Brookfield, IL - March 30, 2023
Are you struggling to find a good manager whose qualities
fit your needs? As an employer, it can be challenging to find good management,
and sometimes with all the information out there, it's hard to know what you
should be looking for. Luckily there are resources like local recruitment firms, to
help you in your search. Let's take a look at four questions that can guide
your conversations with potential managers.
How Would
You Delegate Team Tasks?
A good manager knows how to appropriately and effectively
delegate tasks to their team. They should be able to set achievable deadlines
for the work given and avoid micromanaging the process. Use this question to
get a better understanding of how they would go about dividing work and how
they plan to manage their timelines and due dates.
What Actions
Would You Take to Celebrate Employee Success?
It is important for company morale to celebrate employee
success whenever possible. Managers are usually in charge of highlighting their
staff, and a good manager ensures that their team is getting the credit they
deserve for their hard work. There are different ways to celebrate success, and
this question will allow you to gain insight into how they acknowledge
accomplishments.
How Would
You Describe Yourself as a Leader?
Leadership styles can be broken down and categorized into
different types by identifying key qualities and actions taken by a person in
charge. The corporate world has identified over seven different styles that
commonly appear within the workplace, and they are: Autocratic, Authoritative, Pacesetting,
Democratic, Coaching, Affiliative, and Laissez-Faire. Take the time to
familiarize yourself with each type, identify which one works best for you or
your business, and look for managers with those traits.
What Does
Being a Team Player Mean to You?
A good manager should be able to balance being a team player
and an authoritative figure. Having both qualities allow them to build trust
and respect with their team. But being a team player can mean different things
to many people. Ask what it means to them and use their response to compare it to
your own. Does their definition fit what you are looking for?
Don't be afraid to ask the questions you need answers to!
Whether you are looking to hire a manager or are looking for employment with
management that fits your style, these four questions will provide you with a
good understanding of how a manager will behave within the workplace. If you
