Mistake no. 1: Wanting subordinates to obey rules you yourself break
A good manager who wants to serve as an inspiration to subordinates must not preach water and drink wine.
Serve as an example to others. You yourself must stick to the principles you require and would like to see others follow. If you want something from your team but do not actually adhere to your own advice, your demands are doomed to failure.
Mistake no. 2: Punishment for mistakes
If you punish employees for their mistakes, they will not be innovative; rather, they will stick to their comfort zone and not develop further.
Create a safe and positive environment by praising effort and hard work and supporting employees' initiatives to try new things and procedures. This of course means you should not punish them for mistakes and failures: on the contrary, you should teach them to learn from their mistakes and welcome minor failures as opportunities for growth.
Mistake no. 3: Micromanagement
A micromanager is someone who manages every single detail of the work of their subordinates and dictates what exactly they should be doing.
Give your employees a certain room to do things on their own. Nobody likes it if their boss is constantly behind their back, watching their every step. Even if you think your attempts to help employees at all times are positive, you must give them the chance to do things on their own.
Mistake no. 4: Unjust rewards and lack of transparency
Non-transparent management, behind-the-scenes agreements or unjust rewarding of individual employees: all this will only alienate your team.
Be fair, do not give anyone special privileges, appreciate hard work and good effort. This applies to financial rewards as well. If you do not reward hard-working employees in a sufficient and fair manner, they will soon lose motivation.
