CLEVER TACTICS FOR BRILLIANT YOUNG MANAGERS

 

‘If you’re good enough, you’re old enough,’ a team manager once said when giving Michael Owen, a world-class goal-scorer, his first international game at the age of 18. Is the same true in business?

Young executives come back from business school armed with big ideas. But these may or may not win support from colleagues.

So what are the practical steps that young managers need to take in order to be welcomed?

‘The biggest challenge is the basic lack of experience,’ says Steve Newhall, a management consultant. ‘This will affect how other people see you. You need to build credibility with your key stakeholders on a one-to-one basis in order to show that you are up to the job. You have got to have confidence in your ability to do the job. But remember that the people around you may not share that opinion’.

Young managers also need to recognize their own weaknesses – and then do something about them. ‘You will need a good mentor straight away,’ says Mr Newhall, ‘someone who has plenty of experience and who gives you support and plenty of good advice.’

Some advice

• Act your age. Do not try to look like an older person or like a statesman. Dress your age, too.
• Avoid favoritism and cliques. Leaders win respect by treating people the same.
• Build coalitions right away. Show colleagues you are aware of your limited experience. And show that you are interested in getting advice, too.
• Keep a cool head, even when you are under a lot of pressure. Some colleagues will expect you to crack. Do not give them the satisfaction.
• Show respect to older colleagues. They may be on a slower (or different) career path just because that is where they want to be. They have seen many young ambitious people come and go. Draw on their experience.
• Find the right balance between being enthusiastic and being over-confident. You have been selected for your youth and energy – draw on it. But don’t overdo it.
• Under-promise and over-deliver. That motivating speech on your first day may sound pretty stupid if the market turns against you.

 

Умные тактики для умный молодых менеджеров.

 

«Если ты достаточно хорош, ты достаточно взрослый». Так однажды сказал менеджер команды выпуска Майкла Оуэна, нападающего мирового класса, в его первую международную игру в возрасте 18 лет. Можно ли тоже самое сказать про бизнес?

Молодые руководители, выходя из бизнес школы вооружены большими идеями. Но это может помочь им помешать заручиться поддержкой от коллег.

Итак, какие практические шаги необходимо сделать молодым руководителям, чтобы быть принятым?

«Самой большой проблемой является недостаток опыта», говорит Стив Ньюхолл, консультант по менеджменту.  «Это влияет на то, как другие люди видят Вас. Вам нужно построить доверительные отношения между ключевыми заинтересованными сторонами один к одному с основной целью показать, что вы достойны этой работы. Вы должны быть уверены в своей способности выполнить эту работу. Но помните, что люди вокруг вас могут не разделить это мнение.»

Молодые менеджеры должны признавать свои слабости - и затем делать что-то в отношении них. « Вам необходим  сразу хороший наставник» , говорит господин Ньюхол, «тот кто имеет большой опыт, кто поддерживает вас и даёт много хороших советов.»

Некоторые советы.

• Ведите себя согласно своему возрасту, не пытайтесь выглядеть старше или как чиновник. Также одевайтесь своему возрасту.
• Избегайте фаворитизма и коалиций. Лидеры заручаются уважением, относясь к людям одинаково.
• Создавайте коалиции прямо сразу. Покажите коллегам что вы имеете ограниченный опыт. И покажите, что вы заинтересованы в получении советов.
• Оставайтесь хладнокровны, даже когда вы будете находиться под давлением. Некоторые коллеги будут пытаться вас сломать. Не доставляйте им удовольствие.
• Проявляйте уважение к старшим коллегам. У них может быть медленный (или другой) карьерный рост только потому, что они так решили. Они видели много молодых и амбициозных людей которые приходят и уходят. Опираются на свой опыт.
• Найдите нужный баланс между энтузиазмом и будьте более уверенны в себе. Вы молоды и энергичны – пользуйтесь этим. Но не переусердствуйте.
• Не давайте чрезмерных обещаний. Эти мотивационные речи в первый день могут звучать довольно глупо, настроив рынок против вас.
