Managers face numerous challenges in their role. Trying to juggle the operational elements of their work and managing a hybrid team whilst attempting to develop themselves as strategic thinkers are just some examples. These challenges often clash with organisational needs and as a result, and usually due to stress, managers find themselves telling people what to do and giving advice when it’s not needed or wanted by the individual. This usually comes over as a parental style and approach. Resistance and lack of engagement usually follows.
The answer to this problem is to demonstrate an alternative way of communicating which is collaborative, adult in its approach and will ultimately give people the chance to think for themselves and make decisions, with the support of the manager. Research tells us that autonomy is one of the greatest motivators for most people and will ultimately lead to engaged, high performing and mature teams, thus making the role of managing a team less stressful and more productive.
