Managers have to learn to not try to control the every day tasks if they are to maintain sight of the main goals and objectives. Managers must be careful not to get bogged down in details. It is however vital for effective managers to keep in contact with the people who work for them. An effective way to keep in touch with personnel is to hold meetings on a regular basis. These meetings should be a forum where members are assigned clear tasks and the goals are well established as are deadlines.
Meetings are most effective when everyone is encouraged to participate and contribute.
The members must also be aware of the objectives and purposes of the meetings. Employees are often great sources of ideas for better performance and overall improvements to the enterprise. Managers should attempt to check the performance of their team members. A good manager knows what the other team members are doing. They also encourage team members to speak to one another and work together as a team.
