The Most Effective Quality of an Ideal Manager

The single most important quality of an ideal manager is possessing, mad Time Management technique and skill. Why? When someone uses their time successfully, it creates a working environment with better working conditions, strong team work participation between co-workers, higher production rates, all while the profit margins go up by the steady stream of increase net-profits. At the end of the day that is the basic cause and effect of a triumphal and highly successful, business plan.

Effective time management is about organization.  Like any type of organization, whether it is a single organization representing a collective body, a grass-root organization to get something started or organizing a business; the base is the same- TIME!  Let's say you meet a manager, who has been labeled for instance........., "emotional" by their past employers.  The very first thing you'll want to do is to ask a few basic questions like; 

  1. How many sick days have they missed?  Four or less is the targeted number.  It tells you that they take good care of themselves, and don't misuse their benefits.
  2. How many days were they LATE clocking into work or clocked in NOT "ready-to-work" last year?  Arriving to work is one thing, but arriving to work and clocking in "ready-to-work" on time is a whole other matter.  The best employees, can be the worse time clock abusers.  People who do not manager their time vs. time clock work production potentially costs you hundred of dollars each year in over paid taxes and wages, and overtime to the other employees taking up the slack. 
  3. Do they complete their work projects on time or with time to spare?  Deadlines are set for a reason.  Deadlines not met cost an employer thousands of dollars in lost revenue/profit.  In the construction industry I have seen missed "work completion deadlines" cost Commercial builders $10,000 a day.  When JE Dunn of KC, MO. missed their deadlines, building the new men's prison in Tipton, MO due to weather conditions and silly mistakes made by management, it cost JE Dunn $10,000.00 for every day missed thereof until the project was completed.  A company cannot make money on a jobsite that way.  Management should of taken into account the weather in Missouri in February.  That is a horrible neglect of time management if I have ever seen one.  It doesn't take a "Donald Trump" figure head to figure that one out.

After asking those questions and upon verifying the information the "emotional" comment doesn't seem all that bad.  In truth, when former employers use terms to discredit a respectable employee, they are telling you that THEY screwed up and want that employee back!  The employee in question, could very well have been fed up with their past, former, employers misuse of time, and incompetence.  That's enough to drive anyone crazy.  I hate it when people come in late, but, moreover I hate a boss who is misinformed, un-informed, and thus un-organized. Doctors, Lawyers and fledging small businessmen are usually the worse culprits at being bad bosses. 

With this said, this is why Time Management is the most important aspect of a well run business over any other quality, and thus the only real quality to obtain. Someone who manages their time effectively is someone who is a natural salesperson, born leader, effective team player, etc...   Donald Trump did not become the man he is today, without very effective assistants managing his time.

Excellen hub, another greatness on your part. I spend most of my life as a manager, it's hard work, and even harder to satisfy the powers above, you are in a way stuck in the middle, carring for your staff, creating a healthy and productive work enviornment as well as the big shoots in the ivory tower. Rate up up love & peace darski

The most secure environment to work in is when the boss makes rules and then enforces them always and to the letter. Everyone knows them and know when they mess up. No favoritism. No cliques. No exceptions. People adjust and in the harshness is a security that no one will be unfairly treated or coddled. It has elements of hardness but it is most effective. I've only worked one place like that. All the rest of my 40 years have been at one location or another that had favorites and people that were babied and should have been let go. You are my girl Julie. You know it. bob.
