How to Manage People Without Managing People

Successful managers use a very effective management tactic that wins people over easily. This tactic is actually a process that manages people without managing people.  

This is because a good manager never managers anyone, he simply creates the conditions for people to manage themselves.  

Transformational Leadership (TL) is the latest buzzword in management.  This is how works:
  1. You find out what are the goals of people
  2. You share with them the goals of your organization
  3. You link how achieving the organization's goals will achieve their individual's goals
  4. You show them the step-by-step pathways to achieving the 2 goals, plus you offer assistance and coaching.  
You see, when you do the above, you are not telling people that they must achieve your organization's goals.  You're helping your people to achieve their own goals.  Asking questions helps you to find out what are their real needs.  You will be seen as a caring manager

But you cannot just ask a few questions and expect them to tell you. You need to ask the RIGHT Questions in the RIGHT ORDER. We call this Coaching. 

Other than that, you also need to use questions to overcome their objections.  Common objections include it's too difficult, we don't have the resources to achieve the goals, we're not ready and how can we achieve something we have never done before?  

It is said that the real job of a manager lies in overcoming staff objections.  For if he cannot overcome objections, the objections will overwhelm him and soon he will have no one to manage.

Whether you are managing a big team or small team, if you too want to be a more effective manager, this is just one management course that you have to attend.

As we know, most managers are promoted based on their technical skills, when in fact it is the managerial skills that will make them successful.

Many new managers go through 4 phases: excitement, confusion, exploration, and performance. At every stage, you need to have the right type of strategies to move forward, otherwise you will be stuck. The result: frustration and the new managers prefer to go back to their old positions.

Kindness as a Way of Life: How Kindness can Reward You 6 Times Over

Kindness as a Way of Life by Andy Ng Kindness is a universal language that transcends cultural boundaries, enriches human connections, and has the power to transform lives. It goes beyond mere acts of charity or random good deeds. To me, kindness, when practiced as a way of life, becomes a profound philosophy that can shape our interactions with others, the world around us, and even our own well-being. In this article, we will explore the multifaceted aspects of kindness as a way of life, touching on non-violent communication, the limitations of traditional charity, the potential harms of helping, the deliberate cultivation of kindness, and the incredible rewards it brings. 1.       Non-Violent Communication Non-violent communication (NVC) is a key component of practicing kindness as a way of life. Developed by Marshall B. Rosenberg, NVC emphasizes empathetic communication that seeks to understand and connect with others on a deeper level. It encourages active listening, empath

New Age Mobile Numerology

Many people look at 'mobile number change luck' with skepticism, they say, how can just one simple mobile number change create so many changes in a person's life?   Also, the mobile numbers are given to us by random by the telcos, how can our fate be assigned by the telcos at random? Besides, isn't it true that our lives and fates are determined by birth and what we do, how can a small mobile number, which is a modern invention, have any effect?  How about people in the past without mobile numbers?  You mean they don't have a life without mobile numbers, right? One more thing: you cannot just change your mobile number and expect your life to change. If this is so, wouldn't everybody be rich just by changing their mobile numbers? Finally, isn't this kind of fortune-telling thing more of psychology and blind faith than science?   If so, how can we trust anything that is not proven and not science? Today let's resolve all these doubts and I welcome your co

If Not You, Who Else?

I learnt this very powerful 5-word phrase from Singapore's highest ever box-office movie ever: "Ah Boys to Men II". In one scene, the recruits were about to start their 3-day field camp.  Their Officer-in-Command asked them, "Before we moved out, anybody not feeling well?"  All the soldiers replied loudly, "No Sir!!!" "Gentlemen", continued the Officer, "Every time the training gets tougher, one thought comes to your mind, 'Why Must I Serve National Service?' "My answer to you is, 'If Not You, Then Who Else?'" Wow!  What a powerful phrase!  If Not You, Who Else may mean: You are the most suitable person, and we can't find anyone better than you.  This is appreciation at the highest level How can you push this responsibility to someone else? I am making a request to you specifically, please don't reject my request Can you find me another person more suitable than you? Please refer me anot
