In today's dynamic world every organization disparately needs a large number of People Managers with high exceptional skills to manage its work force. All great companies future, growth results and profits were depended on leaders and managers who set target, guide, inspire, trainee, motivate their subordinates.
Software industry needs these peoples in very large numbers due to work force centric business needs. Managing talented people is easier said than done - which every organization tries to master, but only few succeed. Experts in Human Relations usually comment "Handling people is more of an art than science".
First and foremost to be a great manager the person must pass the litmus test of the subordinates in today's environment. Because gone are the days where people remain silent before manager but comment and grudge at the back of him, and work in the same company till their retirement age. Now People were ready to shift loyalty any second even for a minor dissatisfaction, argument or difference of opinion.
So retaining and satisfying people has become more priority in high tech companies to sustain results. Hence companies travel the extra distance to satisfy employees at reasonable cost with out affecting their balance sheet. But giving out fat pay check won't solve the issues unless the respective manager plays a proactive role to influence the satisfaction level of the employee.
How a exceptional people manager has to be to create a positive impression over his subordinates:
1)Every individual has their own style of working and handling things and a manager has to give them them their own freedom and room to work on with in guidelines to obtain the result.
2) Most managers try to boss around people under them assuming they have powers to do so, but what they fail to recognize is that the senior management doesn't give them powers but only responsibility to handle the people and obtain results in a amicable way. Because company talks not by itself but through their leaders.
3) One fundamental basics of workforce management is that a good manager must balance between organization and employee needs. Company want more work do be done with less cost, but an employee expects cool work with more pay. A manager main duty is to satisfy both the ends with out any sacrificing personal growth.
4) A leader must have the ability to frame the work from conception to finish taking into consideration the issues, skill of workers, knowledge required, clarity of task, ability to meet the deadline, ready to plan for any adverse scenario and required financial resources.
5) A good leader must guide his subordinates with the task in hand from start to finish. He should participate in all stages of taking into consideration complex dynamics of task in hand. If this criteria is not satisfied even a subordinate will exceptional skills would meet the fate of a "arrow with out proper aim on the target traveling to no man's land till its momentum is exhausted"
