Management Success - Why Self Confidence Matters

Management - A recent survey by the International Coach Federation identified that the number one reason why people choose to work with a coach is due to a lack of self confidence. Someone who is self confident can sometimes be viewed by others who are less confident as arrogant. Yet in truth self confidence is really about having a strong sense of self worth and capabilities.

If you are a manager, your success or otherwise is influenced by factors such as:

• Knowing that that you have the capability or competence (or can acquire it) to take on and deal with the challenges that without doubt will arise. < Management >

• Speaking up an airing your views even when they might be slightly controversial.

• Being able to take decisions even when you might not have all of the information at your fingertips that you might need or like.

• Getting other to provide support to get things done or make change.

Management - A manager lacking self confidence is likely to have some traits or develop traits that get in the way, including:

• Being indecisive, procrastinating and failing to move things forward.

• Going with the consensus when deep down you know it is not going to produce results.

• Avoiding taking any risks that could lead to a step change in performance.

• Being focused on surviving rather than thriving.

Bottom Line - You can have an abundance of self confidence and at the same time still be the manager who delivers great results and has the full support of the team. So what's stopping you succeed as a manager? < Management >

Management Success - 5 Reasons Why You Might Struggle As a Manager

Management - Being a manager is easy- right? All you have to do is go around giving orders to others and not doing much work yourself. When we work alongside a great manager we can easily fall into the trap of believing that it is easy. Yet in truth managing is often an area where highly competent people struggle. So what are 5 key reasons why you might struggle as a manager?

Reason 1: You lack self control < Management >

When managing people, processes or projects you are under pressure a lot of the time. While some use this stress as a source of motivation, there are others who struggle with the pressure. If you want to succeed as a manager you need to remain calm even when it is tough and challenging.

Reason 2: You don't take responsibility < Management >

Everyone makes mistakes from time to time. It is all part and parcel of achieving success. The natural reaction in these circumstances is to look to others or an external event to justify the failure. On the other hand those that are most successful take responsibility for what has happened and focus on making it better.

Reason 3: You have a win at all cost mindset < Management >

People only get behind you to achieve things when they trust you. If you are a manager whose mindset is to win at all costs, you probably are not that concerned about your colleagues. While this might work in the short term, it rarely works long term.

Reason 4: You have gaps in social skills < Management >

Management is all about getting the best from those that you manage, managing yourself and handling relationships with superiors. Successful managers have the range of social skills to treat everyone well and deal tactfully with challenges.

Reason 5: You don't have a network < Management >

Being a manager can sometimes be a lonely existence. Having a network or support of some kind provides you with a sounding board that can help you through the tough times.

Bottom Line - Managers rarely struggle because they are not technically competent. It is more often than not about their personal qualities. So where do you need to develop to achieve success?
