How can you do the art of getting things done through the efforts of other people well?
As a manager, it is very important to get things done with the efforts of others.
Management is about managing and taking responsibility for people. Good character, speech,
charisma, and work skills are essential for manager, but handling other people's efforts is the
most difficult task for a manager.
The most important thing is to earn the trust of your colleagues. When there is solid trust
between managers and workers, they are more respectful of each other and can have many
positive effects. If there is trust between managers and workers, even without managers, they
can have the same influence as manager exists, and the ability to handle work between workers
is greatly increased. As a manager, you will be able to work efficiently with the efforts of others.
So how can you earn trust? It is not difficult. First of all, you have to trust the workers first. And it
is necessary to present an unshakable direction and a systematic way of working. If you are
tolerant of mistakes that anyone can make and acknowledge the enthusiasm and hard work of
your workers, you will earn trust.
On-the-other-hand what is going to happen if they don't trust each other? The driving force of
working together will be broken, and the direction of management will also be lost. Manager will
lose value. The System will become a vertical relationship as the master and the servant.
Workers' efforts can be changed to frustration. For example, let's say a soldier doesn't trust his
boss. Working together can cause anxiety and makes it difficult to concentrate on the mission. In
operation, their role can be unclear, and mission success cannot be guaranteed.
Therefore, trust is essential and most important in managing. Without trust, it is impossible to do
the art of getting things done through the efforts of other people.
