Management Skills Nugget

Recent issues had got me thinking about my own management style, which I can summarize as below:


Managing your team well is similar to commanding your troops well.

A good leader should have set well defined expectations in his team, and train his team to understand his actions and the rationale behind it. The team shall be well drilled in their own responsibilities, so that when issues arise, they will be able to broadly predict what will the leader do, and they will be able to react quickly, sometimes even without direct input from the leader.

Unclear directions within the team will create confusion that will result in uncertainty and the team will not know how to react in crisis/situations.

Confusion has it's place, and that is on the battlefield, and reserved for the enemies. Not your own troops.




一个好的领导者要懂得如何带兵。
操兵是为了要让兵士知道如何应对号令, 日后在战场上才不会兵荒马乱

战场上的混乱应该留给敌人,而不是自己的士兵

当士兵无法理解号令,那将领就是个失败者
