A modern manager should get involved in almost every activity or even all the activities in which their team participates.

This helps to develop & build confidence and trust amongest the team players (manager vs surbbonates) throug these activities.

It has facilitates deeper relationship building and mutual understanding amongest the team players as surbbonates feel the manager is part of them & they are all part of one team & not just outsiders or aliens.

A modern manager is supposed to motivate, inspire, lead & give morale to their surbbonates, therefore their participation in these activities would facilitate such important managerial role.

Thanx for the invitation

I Believe the first thing to motivate team is to build good relationship with tem.

BE Part of Team: Being there for the team is very important .If they have a question or need your advice, make sure that you make it easy for them to access you. There is no reason your team shouldn’t be able to get in touch with you when they need to.

Know Your team : When you are with your team make sure you spend some time apart from Offical work getting to know them. You will have a much more productive team if they know that you genuinely care about them and have their interests in mind.

Team Involment :  Welcome and encourage your team to be involved with your Company's growth . When they feel like they are part of the future it inspires them to be more productive.

BE Flexible : Not every person in your team is going to have the same personality and way of work. Be flexible in how you lead each individual.

Ask Questions and Take Team Suggestions: How will you know if your team has suggestions that would benefit the company unless you ask them . Doing this gives you valuable information and also gives your team the confidence to follow your lead.

Dont Rule and Impose Fear: Your team will not be inspired if you use fear as a motivator. Coach and teach the team, be with them not just simply giving orders and screaming.

Personal Characteristics There are items that can help you improve yourself, and enhance your interactions with others. Desirable personal characteristics make a manager someone that others can look up to, and feel comfortable following: Self-Motivation: An effective manager can’t motivate others if he or she can’t self-motivate. Self-motivation, the ability to get yourself going, and take charge of what’s next for you, is a vital personal characteristic for a manager. You have to keep yourself going — and motivate those who work with you. Integrity: People trust a good manager because they know he or she has personal integrity. Workers need to know that you will fight for them, do what you say, and follow the rules. Dependability/Reliability: As a person, you should be dependable and reliable. Your superiors, as well as your subordinates, need to know that you can be counted on. Others in the organization should be able to rely on you. Optimism: Do you look to the future with hope? An optimistic attitude can help build morale in your employees. Your positive attitude can inspire others, and help them feel good about getting things done. Confidence: Do you have confidence in yourself. You need to be able to make decisions in confidence, and show others that you are capable of making good decisions. Your confidence will rub off on others, and can be of benefit. Calmness: As the manager, you can’t afford to break down when the pressure is on. The ability to remain calm and do what needs to be done is essential in a good manager. Flexibility: A certain amount of flexibility is needed by a manager, since he or she may need to adapt to changing situations. Business Characteristics Some level of business acumen is important when you are a manager. While you may not need to be on the level of a professional dealmaker, familiarity with basic business principles and practices can be helpful. Industry Knowledge: What do you know about the industry you are in? It helps understand your industry so that you can answer questions and perform your work more effectively. Workers may not need industry knowledge, but a manager should have some. Know When to Delegate: An effective manager knows that some tasks need to be delegated. You should be able to identify workers who will do well, and give them tasks they can succeed at — while helping the project. Organization: You need to be organized in order to be a good manager. Keep track of projects, employees and assignments so that you are on top of what needs to happen in the business. Basic Money Management: Understand basic financial concepts so that you understand how to manage money as part of a project you have been given. Business Hierarchy: You should know how the hierarchy works at your business, and follow the chain of command. Make sure that you understand your duties, and to whom you report. You should also know how the organization affects your subordinates. Legal Implications: While you don’t need to be a law expert, you should have a grasp of the legal implications of sexual harassment, proper hiring and firing practices, confidentiality, and more. Communication Qualities A good manager needs to be able to communicate effectively. You might be surprised at the different qualities there are related to communication. Make sure that you develop the ability to communicate as part of your efforts. Here are some qualities to possess if you want to be an affective communicator as you fulfill your management duties. Written Communication: Learn how to communicate effectively in writing. A good manager should be able to write professionally and with correct grammar, expressing him or herself in email, memos, and thank you notes. Public Speaking: As a good manager, you should know how to speak publicly, annunciating your words, and concisely communicating your ideas, whether in an interview, or addressing workers. Constructive Feedback: Learn how to provide feedback in a way that is helpful to workers and others. Active Listening: One of the most important communication skills is listening. Make sure you are listening to your workers, superiors and customers, and that you acknowledge them. Specific: When giving instructions, be specific in what you want, and in expected outcomes. Make sure your employees understand what should happen. Organize Your Presentations: Organize and practice your presentations before giving them so that you are clear and concise, and so that your presentation flows well. Relationship Qualities Your characteristics as you build relationships matter when you are a manager. You will need to know how to manage relationships between yourself and your subordinates, as well as manage the relationships among those who work under you. You should also know how to develop relationships with your superiors, and coordinate relationships between those above you and below you in the hierarchy. Customer Service: You might be surprised to discover the customer service is a relationship quality. However, it is. You need to be able to build good relationships with customers if you want to be a good manager. Learn how to relate to customers, and see things from their perspective. Mediator: Do you know how to make peace? Often, a good manager needs to be able to act as a mediator between workers, between a worker and a client, or between a superior and a worker. Brush up on your mediation qualities, and learn conflict resolution techniques to be a good manager. Team Player: Are you part of a team? You need to be able to function as part of a team if you want to succeed as an effective manager. Make sure that you are willing to work with others, and that you will hold up your end. Respect: You need to be respectful of your workers if you are to have respect as a manager in return. It’s up to you to set the example and build relationships of respect. Collaboration: You’ll need to set up collaborations with others, and with your team. You should also be able to work well with others, and understand how to integrate ideas and personalities. Value Others: A good manager helps employees feel valued. Surveys show that employees want recognition from their superiors, and you need to make sure to recognize contributions from your workers.
