What bad leaders often say

The team will be exactly what its leader will do. Including words. From the phrases below you can determine not the most skilled leader, but if you plan to become a leader, then try to avoid them.
Don’t worry about your small position or salary.

An example of excellent advice, but served incorrectly. No, that's right - people should think and do business. It is necessary to concentrate on hard work, not catching a new increase from the employer, as if a fisherman was pulling fish out of the water. It is also true that junior employees must prove that they cost more than zero.

But just as you don’t want to hear from the model that it is not at all necessary to monitor your appearance, or when the rich tells the poor that you don’t have to worry so much about money, it all looks like the head deliberately weakens the desire move up the career ladder: “Don’t worry about getting up where I am now! You do not need it".

People want to grow and feel that they are in demand as specialists. And the task as a leader is to move the performers forward, and not to think that no one wants career growth.
Your career is up to you

When the leader says this, understand it this way: “I don’t know how to develop the members of my team.” It is logical that it is not the boss who should promote you along the career ladder or do your job for you. So it is - all this lies with you.

However, the manager should notice this. Support you. Guide you on the right road. Talk openly about what works and what doesn't. Understanding if you are burned out or bored. The leader should think ahead, not just ask you for a completed assignment and assign the following.
My doors are always open for you

If employees are constantly pointed out that they can always come and discuss a contentious issue, this often means that the manager does not pay enough attention to them.

All the work of the leader revolves around knowing what is happening and saying the right things to the right people at the right time so that they can be even more effective. The point guard does not need to say that he is always open for the shot, the writer does not need to say that he is familiar with the rules of punctuation, and the leader does not need to explain that you can always discuss something with him.
If I understand my field, I can lead a team

Often this opinion is found in people who are good in their native specializations (designer, developer, project manager, accountant, etc.), but who before their promotion have never been involved in managing people.

The fact is that effective management is fundamentally different from everything that any professional in his field has done before. You cannot lead creative and creative people just by being the same. You can’t lead developers just because you write good code.

You can lead them along because you know how to listen. You know how to grow your team, studied and practiced. And most importantly - you need to take care of people to horror.

Why many do not like their job

Not everyone has such happiness - to engage in work that brings pleasure. Some people live counting days until Friday, telling everyone how this work got them.

As they pondered this question, users of the popular Quora.com Q&A site had a lively discussion. Work.ua publishes the most interesting opinions on this issue. A habit you start to hate Suppose a person received a good education and got a job. At the age of 22, he had no idea what he wanted to do with his life, besides, he thought that his professional field was limited only to the specialty received at the university.
