Management gurus and a barrage of books examine the range of management styles and what makes sense in various situations. On the Internet, you can even test out your management style. There are so many labels and categories coming out now that to just sort out who has a model that makes sense to you takes a lot of time and energy. With too much data to manage nowadays, it is difficult to remember those styles, let alone pinpoint the recommended reaction each time a new situation comes up. Besides, people change and new situations often bring to the surface parts of us we don't even know. So, forget about labels and styles and categories. Let's start with something closer to home and easier to remember... our innate capacity to be management dorks. Remember dorks are made, not born. We can all recover.
  1. Check out your own behavior. As a manager, you are not the King or Queen. You are just like everyone else: Someone trying to do your best. Often, the dork in us comes up when someone or something hits us in the area where we feel weak. Look into this. If you feel incompetent in an area, build up your competence. Better still, acknowledge and feel good about your other competencies...the ones others saw in you when they gave you the job. But, also acknowledge that your staff is competent, too (probably, more competent than you are in some areas). Accepting that others are competent, too, will make you less defensive and less likely to display public dorkiness!
  2. Talk about the competence of your staff. Often it is better to say to your client or customer, "That is not my area of competence but we have one with us here who knows that inside out. Can I pass you on to him?" You will not go anywhere if you just fake it. Your job is to make sure your company has the best ideas or the best solutions for your clients and recognizing your colleagues' competence is a double win....
