What must the manager of the future be able to do?

It's hard, a manager in the 21. And we wonder whether companies spend enough time thinking about how they can do more to support their managers and help them?

For example, senior managers regularly spend time as “average manager” or as “junior manager” – we don't mean the red carpet visits in the Organization, but job shadowing for a day or a week at a time. When a manager was at the supermarket checkout for a week, he learned a lot and discovered how different life was for the younger ones in the organization.

4. Would they advise them to go to a different place where they could be better treated and respected?
5. When was the last company-wide employee interview in which this was evaluated?
6. When were you rated for something else you could offer?
7. Are the values ​​of the employees important for the organization, which are consistently applied in different departments, business areas, countries or locations?

Our recommendation: Back to the roots

Too many organizations claim that mistakes can happen and they do not matter, but then they make a fake case against managers (or teams or divisions) who make mistakes. Long before he was GE's boss, Jack Welch blew up a factory - accidentally! and often about the fact that the boss of his boss did not beat him, but used it as a learning experience.

Our Suggestions: Instead of a long list of recommendations for improving the leadership environment, we recommend a practical approach. Within the next few months, every member of management should spend some time in a workshop or in a junior job.
