Ah, no nothing. I wanted to compliment you on your success. Your team performance was exceptional, like always.
Slide: 4
Thank you, Jay!
Slide: 5
If you don't mind, can you share the secret of your success?
Slide: 6
Actually, since I have taken up the role of manger 3 months back, I have been wondering if I am doing things right?
Slide: 7
I see. I hope you don't mind me asking a few questions?
Slide: 8
Not at all. in fact, it may help me to gain clarity on how I can be more effective as a manager.
Slide: 9
So how do you manage things currently?
Slide: 11
And what else?
Slide: 13
As usual, I start my day with the morning hurdles. Ask for commitments for the day and then focus on field visits with my FLS. Evening we all circle back and I get update from the team on their achievements.
So how is the performance spread in your team?
Slide: 14
What do you mean?
Slide: 15
Well, I review their performance regularly and guide them on the basis of things that have worked for me in the past.
How are the different people in your team performing?
Slide: 16
Well, two of the 6 FLS in my team are doing quite well. They have been the pillars of my team.
Slide: 17
One of them is doing fine. There are other two who are struggling, and I have one person to be hired.
Slide: 18
So you are currently dependent on two of your performers while there is a lot of work to be done on other team members.
Slide: 19
Yes! I don't know how to go about. The two performing team members are my focus. Otherwise, I will land up in trouble.
Slide: 20
Can I share my journey in the role? Maybe it will help you to pick up some cues to work with your team more effectively.
Slide: 21
Sure Veeru! It will of great help to me.
Slide: 22
When I got my managerial role, my situation was exactly like yours.
Slide: 24
In fact, I now laugh at myself. I started sharing tips with my team members on what had worked for me and imposed myself on them. Forcing them to follow those things
Slide: 25
I see myself doing that very often.
Slide: 26
Team performance was dependent on three people in my team. And others were just passerby in my team.
One of my top performing FLS submitted his resignation in my first month, as he got good salary hike with competition.
Slide: 27
I was shocked as he contributed to 30% of the business in my team!
Slide: 28
I spoke to my manager, and we were able to retain him with prospects of growth in the organization.
Slide: 29
If something like this happens, I will be in a soup, too.
Slide: 30
I realized that being a manager is not my performance alone but getting the team to perform; letting them learn and grow. I started by understanding what is expected of me as a manager.
