Earlier, we did a Letterman-like top ten list - How To Tell If You Are Management Material. Here are some key skills and abilities that help anyone be a better manager.

    上次，關于如何辨別你是否適合當管理層，我們做了一個類似關于優秀運動員的十點證明。

    接下來我們繼續講解一些關鍵的技能和能力，以幫助大家成為一名優秀的經理。

    Need For Good Managers Increasing

    對優秀經理的需求正在增長

    The need for good managers is not going away. It is intensifying. With 'flatter' organizations and self-directed teams becoming common; with personal computers and networks making information available to more people more quickly; the raw

    number of managers needed is decreasing. However, the need for good managers, people who can manage themselves and others in a high stress environment, is increasing.

    對優秀的經理的需求有增無減。雖然，隨著"奉承"機構和自我管理團隊越來越普遍，電腦和網絡讓信息更快、更廣泛的傳播，對經理的需求正在減少。然而，對優秀經理，也就是那些能夠在高壓環境下很好的管理自己和別人的經理的需求卻是有增無減。

    I believe anyone can be a good manager. It is as much trainable skill as it is inherent ability; as much science as art. Here are some things that make you a better manager:

    我相信每個人都可以是一位優秀的經理。雖然這是天生的能力，但也是可以培養的。以下幾點能讓你成為一位優秀的經理

    As a person:

    為人上

    1.You have confidence in yourself and your abilities. You are happy with who you are, but you are still learning and getting better.

    要對自己以及自己的能力有自信。你對自己很滿意，但你還是要繼續學習，并做到更好。

    2.You are something of an extrovert

    . You don't have to be the life of the party, but you can't be a wallflower

    . Management is a people skill - it's not the job for someone who doesn't enjoy people.

    性格外向。你不必是聚會的中心，但是你也不能當局外人。管理是一種人際技巧，對于不喜歡交際的人來說是不適合的。

    3.You are honest and straight forward. Your success depends heavily on the trust of others.

    真誠、直接。你的成功很大程度上是依靠別人對你的信賴。

    4.You are an includer not an excluder. You bring others into what you do. You don't exclude other because they lack certain attributes.

    你是一位包容者而不是排斥者。是你將別人帶入你正在做的事情中的，不要因為別人缺乏一定的特性就排除他們。

    5.You have a 'presence'. Managers must lead. Effective leaders have a quality about them that makes people notice when they enter a room.

    你一定要出場。經理必須起到帶頭作用。令人印象深刻的領導者都有在他進入一個房間后能夠引起別人的注意的特質。

    On the job:

    工作上

    6.You are consistent, but not rigid; dependable, but can change your mind. You make decisions, but easily accept input from others.

    你的立場是堅定的，但是并不剛硬。你是可靠的，但也可以改變你的注意。你做出決策，但是也能接受別人的意見。

    7.You are a little bit crazy. You think out-of-the box. You try new things and if they fail, you admit the mistake, but don't apologize for having tried.

    你有一點熱血。你的思維不拘于世俗，你敢于嘗試新事物，即使失敗了，你也會勇敢的承認自己的錯誤，但是不會因為做出了這樣的嘗試而道歉。

    8.You are not afraid to "do the math". You make plans and schedules and work toward them.

    你不怕做計算。你做出計劃，進度表，并根據他們分配工作。

    9.You are nimble

    and can change plans quickly, but you are not flighty.

    你是思維敏捷，能夠很快的根據情況改變對策，但是你并不輕率，隨心所欲。

    10.You see information as a tool to be used, not as power to be hoarded.

    你將信息視作可利用的工具，而不是藏起來的權力。

    11.Take a look at yourself against this list. Find the places where you can improve and then get going. And , if you need help, remember that's what this site is all about - Helping new managers get started and experienced managers get better.
