MANA Group Fundraising Discuss Developing Great Managers

NEW YORK, NY, January 2014 – MANA Group Fundraising have developed many managers through their leadership development and coaching programs. Those who were most successful in making this transition were people who were fully committed to being the best they can be. Here’s what these great managers have in common:

Great managers are great listeners. They solicit input from the people that work for them and allow them to finish their thoughts, before jumping in with their own agenda.

Terrific managers put others needs first. They are more concerned with their team than they are with themselves. They are very focused on helping their team get ahead than their own career growth.

Excellent managers mentor, support and champion their people. They don’t worry that they might be preparing their people to be a great worker for another firm. Instead, they think about how much better off their clients will be when working with a team of competent people.

Great managers reward their people for a job well done, giving credit where credit is due. We’ve all seen managers who take credit for the work of others. Don’t be that guy or gal. Enough said.

Smart managers help their people gain the skills they need to be promotable. Sure it might get tiring training new people all the time, but smart managers make sure their people are the ones that receive promotions this year.

The best managers have their teams’ backs. These are the leaders that are trusted most because they know that when push comes to shove, their boss will do whatever it takes to support them. Can your people say the same about you?

In spite of what you may have heard, the majority of great managers and leaders are not born that way. Most require continuous care and development in order to reach their full potential. If you want to become a great manager in 2014 and beyond, then you must take your development into your own hands. Take a class, engage an executive coach and or read books on leadership to ensure that like a fine wine, you are always improving with age.
