course for quite some time before you are given
the chance to address the issues. Not only that,
the opportunity to build trust and respect as the
team leader never rises. This leadership style
can also lead to the lazier members of staff to
continue to be just that, which leads to tension,
dissent and bad feeling within the team.
The ugly manager treats his/her team with
contempt. He or she does not trust them, and
therefore disillusions them to the point that there
is a high turnover of staff. This ultimately costs
time and money in replacing team members
who leave. Some ugly managers are troubled
by their work, which is reflected in their attitude
towards their team. They may never have
anything positive to say, and are never on hand
to encourage or motivate staff. Once again,
this leads to unsettled staff looking to move to
greener pastures, and there is a continually bad
atmosphere around the work environment, which
does nothing but hinder productivity.
Possibly the most dangerous manager is the one who
simply wants to be everyone’s friend. There is nothing
wrong with being popular, and there is nothing wrong
with having a good rapport with your staff. Frankly,
when everything is ticking along nicely, managing
people is easy. Alas, the ‘nice and friendly’ leadership
style leads only to trouble when things go wrong. In
addition, when there is a problem, the ‘matey manager’
is the one who struggles to cope. Managers must
know how to resolve conflict, address unacceptable
behaviour, and handle poor performing members of
staff who might not be pulling their weight.

You cannot invent the perfect manager. You cannot programme an individual
to have the perfect credentials to be a manager. Effective managers are fair but
firm. Managers evolve, and each one has individual strengths and weaknesses.

In today’s highly competitive
and negative economy, it is
getting much harder and more
expensive to generate good
quality leads that turn into sales
and customers. Consumers and
businesses are getting ever wary
and tired of unsolicited phone
calls, advertising, mail-shots
and SPAM emails and millions
of pounds are wasted very day
on marketing strategies that no
longer work today.
