Manage Less, Inspire More

Give employees a chance to do their best
and they will look forward to working for you.

1. Adopt people focus culture.
Treat employees as most valuable assets.
Value their contributions.
Give them more responsibilities, autonomy & freedom.

2. Be a leader. Not a manager.
Micro managing doesnt make you a great leader.
Trust your people to do a good/excellent job.
Show them the way but let them walk themselves.

3. Encourage risk-taking and innovation.
Overly focus on rules, policies will kill creativity & innovation.
Allow staff to take certain level of risk to try out new things.
Allow them to take time off & provide support for such projects as well.

4. Stretch & challenge.
Most people want challenges & give it to them.
Set new standards & get them to take up the challenge.
Inject some fun and create an interesting workplace for everyone.
