Have a manager that thinks i have OCD and i must lower my standards. Im in retail and currently the top fuel lead in the district. Why?

Very well spoken!

Love the video , great simple reply samples are very helpful.

Really helpful... thanks a lot!!

You must never trust or talked about your life that cause so much drama. Just go in clock in and out for the day . Too much toxic and hater drama 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️😡😡😡

Come to Texas and straighten up this Toxic staff .😡😡😡

Why not take accountability and admit things you do wrong. Leading to take accountability by taking blame for things you dont necessarily have to take blame for… as the leader is what encourages others to take accountability. You can’t just enforce consequences, otherwise you’ll be left with no employees and very high churn. This is highly effective management with poor leadership.

If you could tackle the challenge of being new in an organisation as a manager encountering resistance from the people you lead who have stayed longer in the organisation and have a close relationship with the top managers

Great content ❤

This was helpful 💯

How do you deal with an employee that doesn’t respect you as a manager because you’re a woman?

You’re the best, Mak!! This was such a fun conversation! Thank you for your endless support to my growth, professional and personal! And yes, I STILL love watching NMA videos! NMA fan girl 4eva! Xo

Nice

I think I need to understand what guard rails are…. The only amount of structure that seems to work for some employees is basically an entire detailed day by day, checklist, or to do list with regular and constant reminders zero room for imagination or improvisation, and every single question that is not explicitly answered, will freak them out and halt all of their progress. All I’m seeing is that people are becoming comfortable with completely relying upon leadership for explicit instructions, rather than developing and using critical thinking skills or basic context clues. Like guardrails prevent something from going wrong but if people don’t have the freedom to make mistakes, how will they ever become autonomous?

One of my most challenging times as a manager was when I worked for the FDIC during the time the agency was becoming unionized. I was already an experienced manager, but new to the organization and had inherited some problem employees. I had never worked in a union environment and every difficult conversation I needed to have, there was a union steward sitting aside the employee. I do not miss those days.

I am so glad that I came across your page. I work in a male dominated industry and the micro aggression is so real. I’m a young black woman who is dealing with older men’s egos. Thank you.

Give people respect. Don't demand respect from people you disrespect. Don't ask or tell anyone to do anything you aren't willing to do. Give people credit when they've earned it. Give discipline when there's no other way. Don't cover for and protect people who are NO GOOD, even if they are your drinking buddies. Make necessary decisions, don't dump them on those under you If they are forced to make YOUR decisions don't second guess, criticize, or countermand them - it was your fault. Don't demand more more more and then take off early every day or just goof off Make sure the work assignments are realistic and fairly distributed. Praise in public, tear them up in private. I learned these things as an E-4 and E-5 in the Army. It's simple.

This came at the perfect time.

Emotional intelligence goes a long way too

I usually do this on Fridays so I can decompress and reflect more clearly.

Im having an issue with an employe i hired 2 months ago she has learned some of the work but i have to keep reminding her to do certain things and is constantly out of work due to many reason including car crush Is it fine to let her go I gave her a write up and a second one coming since she didn't show up for work a day but called in same day bc she had a car crash Ia this valid Can i let her go ? Im tired of having to repeat what she has to do and constantly checking her work

This was great! Thank you so much for sharing these tips!

Thanks for sharing your wisdom on how we can build the confident skill, also love your style!

Thank u for video! I have problem, how to tell a performer, that she doesnt suit for company, im afraid to harm her feelings, emotions. Afraid, that she will accuse me and will gossip with another performer (whta they like to do everyday). But Im really tired to correct her mistakes😢

Excellent thanks!

The lazy thinking I know I have because of my actions because I tend to have new staff at one point so I stayed in training mode for too long. It's something I started working on 5 years ago but still have lots to grow as I am also learning to delegate better and build more trust in the outcome of assigned tasks.

Waooo you have made me a better manager...I wonder what will happen when I start attending your classes.

I am starting my new role as an assistant manager May 5, I am so excited and I as well was feeling all sorts of emotions.. I just want to learn more for myself so I may be a great leader..

Thank you

Thank you so much!❤

Woow it was really useful to me since I'm pursuing Human Resources Management thanks I will love to have more of your videos

So it’s automatically a complaint so ask what do you think 🤔

These are some gold nuggets

Some days back a senior person told me in response to my question that its possible to get a job of required 1 year experience as fresher by making right resume so could you elaborate on how to make it effectively as there's a big competition in field of Aec construction industry as engineers for freshers so how to tackle the problem as i do have the essential skills and internship experience..

Great information. I stumbled upon this on this piece at the right time.

Sone I'd add. 1. You are just a plain mean person. Most of the time a manager is bsd because they are a bad person. 2. You tell your workers to figure things out on their own when they ask questions, yet complain that they didn't ask before doing something. 3. You have unreasonable expectations. 4. You are impatient. 5. You don't think big picture.

OMG 60% of managers Fail? That can only mean it's by design :(

Manager Failure is the expectation/ goal in Corp. America. Jack Welch wrote a book on it.

Thank you Mak

My first day as National Sales Manager starts on Monday the 22nd. I feel optimistic but ummm….reading these comments got me feeling a little funny 😬😅

❤

You making theese cideos is so helpful tjank you ❤ i am reallt struggling as a new manager. I have joined a new role with an established management team of 8 years however myslef and the AM arent seeing eye to eye jts really hard. I woild even pay to have a therapy session with you. Honestly workplace advice is so hard to get.

Pleawe can you help I've just joined a role with an AM who's been there for 8 hears snd we dont see eye to eye at all im really struggling to communicate with her as we are completely opposite.

New introverted manager here!

Great stuff! You are getting better and better, like old wine. lol!

Love seeing new videos from you Mak!

I think to add to this: the workplace is way different now, and honestly not for the better. You can do all this right and in the end, if you the leader is also the best employee, that’s a huge problem. Two, most people today are entitled, and lazy. That’s part of today’s culture. That goes back to parenting and family culture.

Makeda I've heard and observed various interviews of successful people saying that most of today's high earning and top positions in corporate world or business are filled up with sales-people so what is the secret or training of sales people which makes them so great and valuable apart from other trades also which books should i read to understand and implement those strategies to grow in my career as design and site engineer which involves selling as well to commercial construction clients and consultants...

Thank you for modeling these conversations, it’s really helpful. Also, as a Mindi, I am devastated to hear all my greatest fears confirmed. 😂😂😂
