By delegating certain tasks, a manager is able to keep his or her own desk clear and to give employees the opportunity to develop problem-solving skills that will improve their own career potential. Manager takes work-related issues personally. Naturally, a manager might be angry when an employee is late for three days in a row, or when an important task isn't completed on time. But managers must be careful not to turn work-related issues into personal ones that could spark animosity between them and the staff. Manager does not set parameters.
Every management style establishes a certain set of employee expectations.
So a manager needs to alert staff members if he or she wants to know the instant an inventory problem occurs in order to handle it personally. Or, if the manager prefers to have employees suggest their solutions when reporting a problem and then have the employee handle the situation, the manager needs to communicate that policy. Be sure employees understand what management expects of them. Manager never shows appreciation to employees. But expressing appreciation to employees for a job well done should be the rule and not the exception for the restaurant's management team.
