A good manager is someone who knows how to plan, organize, coach, and sprinkle their activities with a dose of leadership. A good manager does not need a strategic plan for the next millennium. They need to know what goals need to be achieved within the given timeframe and be able to communicate that information in a meaningful way to other people. They also need to know how to put a plan in place to achieve those goals. Being organized isn't about putting your life on a spreadsheet, as much as it is about setting and implementing priorities. Leadership means setting standards, meeting them, and showing others how to do the same.

Letting your employees know that you value their contributions will motivate them to strive for more.
