\nHave you had a long hard week at work?\u00a0 Is your team tired and unmotivated by the time Friday creeps up? Rallying your troops is one of the hardest things to tackle as a manager and last week, that\u2019s exactly the challenge I had to meet.
\nAfter a busy week slinging transmissions, a group of our sales team flew to two simultaneous trade shows in different cities\u2026leaving just part of our team and a busy day of customer support ahead of us.\u00a0 How\u2019d we handle it?
\nPreparation –<\/em><\/strong> We\u2019d spent the first half of the week dividing up larger accounts to reps that could cover them for the day, and preordering lunch for those of us staying behind in anticipation of the busyness to come. Our Director of Customer Experience even set up a music playlist on an extra computer for the day!
\nSet the tone and environment \u2013 <\/em><\/strong>The most crucial element as a manager is you.\u00a0 How hard you\u2019re willing to work rubs off on your team.\u00a0 Being willing to come in early and stay late on a day when your business needs you.\u00a0 Keeping a cool head in times when you are extra busy, and maintaining your positive attitude all directly affect the tone of the office.
\nSay thank you \u2013<\/em><\/strong> Yep, those two little words go a long way.\u00a0 Expressing your appreciation to the team that just knocked it out of the park will leave them more motivated to do it again the next day.
\nHaving the right manager (you) in place for the day-to-day is crucial to rallying your team.\u00a0 I\u2019m not saying that you need to replace yourself as manager with a new manager (yet) but it\u2019s important to look in the mirror before looking out your office window wondering why team members are not excited about their jobs. I know that as a manager, the things I mentioned above are what I\u2019m tested on everyday. But becoming a better me is important to my team.\u00a0 Are you striving to be a better you?<\/p>\n
