Getting something done is only half the job. Keeping staff happy at the same times is every bit as important.

 

Many managers believe that getting work done through others requires a free flow of information and open, productive relationships with workers. Rather than creating a climate of subordinates, they give clear instructions and realistic deadlines and take care to give only constructive criticism and not subordinate employees. They work towards creating a positive working environment where workers feel valued and trusted. Some specialists say that it is essential not tocriticise, as this rarely  inspires and often causes stress and loss of confidence among the directors. Managers who successfully maintain the balance of power will not lose their authority even when certain CEO members take control of projects. This style of management is particularly important during an economic upswing when employees can easily find work with another company.
