RED BLUFF CHAMBER Di nn er a nd a wa rd ticket deadline is today Regardless of what level of management you're on — supervi- sor, exec- utive, or even owner — and no matter how good your inten- tions may be, you're bound to make management mis- takes. No boss is perfect, and missteps are natu- ral. But, while some mis- takes are simple and cor- rectable, others may be holding you and your company back. According to a paper from the National Bu- reau of Economic Re- search (NBER), 65 per- cent of employees say they'd take a new boss over a pay raise. NBER also reports that bad bosses cost the U.S. economy $360 billion per year in lost produc- tivity, proving that man- agerial mistakes can not only hold you back from innovation, they can also be costly. To help avoid business set- backs, examine whether you — or an employee — are making one of these common management mistakes. Failure to delegate Even the best boss can't do everything, and trying to do so can result in unnecessary stress. When you fail to dele- gate tasks, you also risk wasting your employees' potential while decreas- ing their workplace en- gagement. Though your natural instinct may be to complete projects on your own, you need to spend your time coach- ing and guiding your employees so they can reach their full poten- tial. Your team's goals must be as important as your own. As The Muse writes for Forbes, "Now, your success is depen- dent on the success of your team." Resisting change We've all heard the age-old excuse: "we've always done it this way." But, have you ever con- sidered how this resis- tance to change may be costing your business? When you choose to ig- nore new methods, ad- vancements or pro- cesses, you may be wast- ing time, energy and resources. And, your fail- ure to innovate can cost more than team morale. Peter Economy, busi- ness writer for Inc.com, states, "Resisting change gives your competitors the advantage. Learn to anticipate and lead change in your industry, and leverage it to your advantage." Lack of employee feedback Offering feedback to your employees means providing constructive criticism and recogniz- ing their successes. If you're saving that feed- back for a yearly review, you may be making an expensive mistake. Nina Zipkin, an Entrepre- neur.com staff writer, ex- plains, "Consistent con- structive feedback and dialogue will keep your colleagues on the right track." While you may want to save formal feedback for a yearly re- view, remember to check in with your employees often, talk with them about their goals, where they want to go with the company, and what they've recently accom- plished. Providing a quick fix When faced with a problem, it may be eas- ier to go with the quick fix. After all, you want a fast and efficient so- lution. Even though it may get the job done, have you considered the long-term costs? Instead of bandaging the prob- lem as quickly as possi- ble, a good leader will look at the bigger picture and consider optimal so- lutions. Founder of the employee scheduling app When I Work, Chad Halvorson, writes for Inc.com, "You should al- ways choose the lasting solution even if it's more costly to implement in the short term." Whether it's a failure to delegate or a lack of employee recognition, some management mis- takes can be significant and may be holding your company back from its full potential. By recog- nizing common mistakes before they happen and learning to take a differ- ent path to reach your goals, you may save your business the money, time and productivity you need to be successful.
