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.

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.
