Management Tips

 Ask for Clarity:

If you are confused when your boss impatiently offers instructions, don’t hesitate to say “I am sorry I didn’t understand properly. Could you please explain it again?”  Without clarity you can temporarily irk your boss. But in the long run, clarity is better than wasting hours or even days trying to follow unclear directions.

Use of word “We”:

Get people to cooperate by using “we”, which suggests you will join the effort. Avoid “you” which implies you’ll stand aside and let them do all the work. Example: “If we all work to gather, we will get this order out” works better than “If you all work together, you will get this order out.”

First Impression:

Note the color of the person’s eyes as you shake hands. You will gain strong eye contact in a way that shows you care.

Keep Business Cards Updated:

When you receive a business card, always writes date on it. It will help you in periodically updating your card file.
