A Good Manager (2nd part) 4 Define success. Make it clear to your employees what constitutes success and how they should measure their achievements. Goals must be realistic. Project schedules, for example, must be set by the people who do the work. People will accept a "bottoms-up" deadline they helped set, but they'll be cynical about a schedule imposed from the top that doesn't map to reality. Unachievable goals undermine an organisation.

A Good Manager (1st part) A good manager has at least 10 good qualities The attributes of a good manager. There isn't a magic formula for good management, of course, but if you're a manager, perhaps these tips will help you be more effective: 1 Choose a field thoughtfully. Make it one you enjoy. It's hard to be productive without enthusiasm. This is true whether you're a manager or employee; 2 Hire carefully and be willing to fire. You need a strong team, because a mediocre team gives mediocre results, no matter how well managed it is. One mistake is holding on to somebody who doesn't measure up.

But a good manager will replace him or move him to where he can succeed unambiguously; 3 Create a productive environment. This is a particular challenge because it requires different approaches depending on the context. Sometimes you maximise productivity by giving everybody his or h

Attitude: Job Interviews are not places to show off. They are places to display what you have. Some candidates thought perhaps that if they were loud, brash and pushy, they would get a job. Nothing can be further from the truth. Managers do not hire because they like to have bulls rushing around their shops that stock glassware. They look for people who are willing to learn, to conform and behave with quite gentility and exhibit some charm of manner and modesty above all. One candidate blotted his copybook by saying that the only reason he was there was because his father had insisted that he attend.Is this a right attitude?

Can a woman be called ‘handsome’? Yes, the word can be used with women as well. When you call a woman handsome, you are not making fun of her; you are, in fact, paying her a compliment.

She is somewhat big built and her features are usually large and there is something about her which suggests strength of character. She has a strong dignified appearance. The word is only used with women and not with young girls. *Linda is an extremely handsome woman with a very sharp mind. The word can also be used to refer to objects, such as gardens and buildings.
