I said it - as a manager, you're too NICE.

Here is 6 things that are making you appear unprofessional as a manager, but nobody is telling you

𝗜𝗡𝗙𝗢𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗣𝗛𝗜𝗖 𝗘𝗗𝗜𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡

1. Confusing and unclear feedback
↳Ask yourself, can the conversation be summed up into a few key action points?

2. You're too nice
↳While it is important to be pleasant, focusing mainly on being 'liked' can dilute your authority.

3. You lack confidence
↳I get it, you have HR telling you what to do, which is great, but you haven't had any management training and this is SO obvious by the way you carry yourself at work

4. You've done no learning and development yourself
↳Its as simple as you have to practice what you preach to be taken seriously and to gain respect

5. STOP oversharing
↳Don't talk about other team members shortfalls - this is making you seem incredibly unprofessional

6. Favouritism
↳Showing favouritism only gets in the way of decision making and shows you lack consistency in management
