Post of the day - Management mistakes

An interesting post about manager mistakes by Ian McAllister, General Manager at Amazon.
I personally like the following:

 

Performance:

• Being slow to deal with performance issues

Carreer development:

• Not getting to know your employees
• Not investing in developing your employees

Leadership:

• Thinking too small, plan to grow it 10x or 100x
• Poor delivery of unpopular decisions, The more important, or more unpopular, the greater the need to manage delivery
• Being slow to resolve team pain points

Recruiting:

• Not investing in sourcing
• Lazy recruiting

Hiring:

• Not being clear on the requirements of the role - Inexperienced managers don't spend time thinking about exactly what they need.

Organizational Development

• It sucks to have two bosses, good managers seek to have clear lines of authority
• Letting the team get overloaded

Visibilty

• Taking the credit for their team's work instead of redirecting to the team or team member
• Forwarding the blame on team members

It has some points to ponder: Quora link
