Managing your small businessA small business owner is responsible for wearing several different hats. They are responsible for running the day-to-day operations of the business and they also need to establish policies and operating procedures. Employees must look the business manager as the leader of the company. Here are some tips that can help you properly manage your small business:
Tip # 1 - Set the tone Another important thing business managers must be careful about is the way they work. Do you take long lunches often? How many times do you arrive late and leave early? While it is nice to set your own hours and work for yourself, employees will resent you if you are constantly leaving them behind to run the office while you go home to enjoy an early dinner. If you are doing this, your employees may start to do this too and they will start showing up late for work or leaving early. Watch your behavior and be a good example for your employees to follow. This also comes down to taking too much time off work. While it may be nice to take a lot of vacations, it can become frustrating for your employees if you are always away. Be careful about how much time you take off and be understanding when your employees want to take time off work. Find ways to make your employees feel appreciated. This can come from doing simple things like saying "please" and "thank-you" to giving them more work if they do not feel challenged. Employees can quickly lose focus of their job if they are fast workers and complete their tasks early. Look for ways to increase their workload if they are fast workers and they need challenges. Always know your employees limits. It can be easy to assign too much work to them and cause them to become overwhelmed and stressed. Hold quarterly evaluations to find out how your employees are doing and to find out if they are satisfied with their jobs. Tip # 3 - Admit mistakes
