365 Exciting Ways to Live: Excitement # 66: Develop People Management Skill

       Develop People Management Skill
Management is nothing more than motivating other people.
-Lee Iacocca


Compared to other resources, human resource is the most sensitive resource to manage since we have to deal with feelings, attitude, ego, values, and sentiments.

How good are you in managing people?  At the highest level of managing an organisation, the ability to manage and motivate human resources becomes very critical.  You will have to take responsibility for not only your actions and behaviours, but also that of others. You should know some important aspects of ‘behaviour management skills’.
Check for the following people management skills in you:
·         The ability to build and maintain a successful team.
·         The ability to communicate powerfully and meaningfully.
·         The ability to empower and motivate people.
·         The ability to assertively disagree.
·         The ability to communicate a different point of view.
·         The ability to manage and lead intellectual people.
·         The ability to be a mentor and guide others.

Honestly evaluate yourself with respect to the above parameters and work out an action plan to improve your people management skills. Take personal responsibility for your people management ability.
