Are You an Accidental Manager? πŸ€” 10 Questions to…

Here are 10 questions managers and business leaders should be asking themselves regularly:

1. Have I been avoiding discussing an issue to avoid conflict?
2. Have I checked in to see if my team understood the project, or have I just delegated and hoped for the best?
3. Does my tolerance or poor behaviour undermine my authority?
4. Have I celebrated or praised any wins recently?
5. Have I attempted to fine the barriers people face that affects their work quality?
6. Am I heard when I talk, or do I need to try a new tactic?
7. Am I bringing the best of of my team?
8. What parts of my role is draining my energy?
9. Have I been effective when giving instruction?
10. Would I be a better manager after receiving management training?

We already know that 86% of managers are “accidental managers” which means people who are skilled in their area I put in charge of a team of people without receiving actual people management training. It is not to say it is the managers fault for the team under performing. Being a better manager means leading with example and professionalism. Managing people is a task and a job within itself.
