How to make your worst manager, to the best Manager


48 percent of managerial promotions fail within the first 18 months - according to various studies, including Harvard Business Review.

Because there is often no graceful way to take back a promotion, managers continue in their capacity - causing good people to become unproductive or leave. Such failures are unreported and undocumented for various reasons.

The main and subtle reason for failures is the following.

When I when for a holiday to the US, I found driving on the right unnatural. It is not the habit, it is the vision with the focus on the left side of the car rather than the right one.

I had the same feeling when I was first promoted to management.

It was no longer what I could do, but what my team could do.

Best employees step forward to fix the problems.

Best leaders step backward to let their team find problems and fix it.

That step backward feels so unnatural at first.

When you promote someone into management, you need to help them to learn that step backward.

Teach the new managers that their function is different.

The best employee is the rocket. The best leader is the rocket booster.

With that booster, people can reach unbelievable heights.

The Dangers of Ego-Driven Spending: A Call for Reality Check

Image
In a world where status and outward appearances reign supreme, it's all too easy to fall into the trap of ego-driven spending. We live in a society where success is often measured by the size of our possessions and the prestige of our lifestyle. As a result, many of us find ourselves chasing after the latest trends and splurging on luxury items in a bid to keep up with the Joneses. But what if I told you that some of the wealthiest individuals in the world eschew ostentatious displays of wealth in favor of a more modest lifestyle? Take, for example, Warren Buffett, one of the most successful investors of all time. Despite his immense wealth, Buffett is known for his frugal habits, driving the same modest car and living in the same unassuming house for decades. Similarly, tech titan Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, is often seen wearing a simple gray t-shirt and jeans, despite being worth billions of dollars. And then there's Ingvar Kamprad, the founder of IKEA, who fam
