The judgment is so radical that it's easy to

00:00:12

understand why 2/3 would not want the manager's job.

00:00:16

Is it so difficult to be a competent manager?

00:00:19

The manager has to go from doing to getting done,

00:00:23

from acting

00:00:24

to getting people to act.

00:00:26

How can this be done by being at the same time an organizer,

00:00:32

a facilitator,

00:00:33

and a leader.

00:00:35

If you have developed the skill of manager organizer,

00:00:39

you will be able to provide a framework.

00:00:42

You will know how to set clear objectives,

00:00:44

and your employees will know what they are expected to deliver.

00:00:48

They will not navigate in the fog.

00:00:51

You will know how to prioritize and plan tasks,

00:00:55

how to build the architecture of your projects and missions

00:00:58

instead of having a scattered construction site and missed deadlines.

00:01:03

You will accompany employees in their objectives by

00:01:06

making sure they have the necessary resources,

00:01:09

skills,

00:01:09

and time to achieve them.

00:01:11

Instead of leaving them with unattainable goals,

00:01:15

you will follow up on deliverables and results by

00:01:19

setting up a suitable system of monitoring and reporting

00:01:22

instead of disregarding what the teams have done and achieved in the last

00:01:26

month and not seeing when there is a slippage in the field.

00:01:29

With a manager organizer,

00:01:32

everyone knows their role,

00:01:34

what is expected and how to act.

00:01:36

In short,

00:01:36

it works.

00:01:38

The organizer gives priority to their own responsibility over the result

00:01:43

and implements a suitable and stable process in a disciplined,

00:01:47

reliable and efficient way.

00:01:50

The talent of an organizer is an essential skill,

00:01:54

especially if you are an operational manager and manager on the ground.

00:01:58

If you don't have this organizational skill,

00:02:01

I recommend you have a highly organized right hand colleague to fill in.

00:02:05

If you have developed the skill of facilitator manager,

00:02:09

you will be more focused on people than on tasks.

00:02:13

You are going to make your team members act,

00:02:16

not because everything will be framed and organized,

00:02:19

but mainly because you will have made sure that

00:02:22

everyone is ready and motivated for the task.

00:02:25

The facilitator spends time listening and sharing.

00:02:29

They know that they are dealing with people,

00:02:31

not machines.

00:02:33

They make decisions progress because they consult with their

00:02:37

employees and make them think individually and collectively.

00:02:41

They are participative.

00:02:43

They make decisions.

00:02:44

emerge.

00:02:45

A manager facilitator gives importance to

00:02:47

friendliness and seeks to avoid conflicts.

00:02:51

For them,

00:02:52

harmony is what guarantees smooth work between team members,

00:02:56

mature,

00:02:57

attentive to others,

00:02:58

and diplomatic,

00:03:00

using trust rather than control.

00:03:02

They ensure that everyone finds their place in

00:03:05

the system and is committed to action.

00:03:08

The facilitator most often seeks consensus

00:03:12

and coordinates the team's talents so that all are fully utilized.

00:03:17

To do this,

00:03:18

they must develop

00:03:20

interpersonal communication skills and emotional intelligence.

00:03:24

The skill of manager facilitator is more and more expected in companies.

00:03:29

Cross-functional management and collaborative work

00:03:33

requires this facilitation skill,

00:03:36

especially when hierarchies are laid flat.

00:03:38

Perhaps one day the word manager will even be replaced by the word facilitator.

00:03:44

If you have developed the skill of manager leader,

00:03:47

then you will be able to be dynamic and be a go-getter if necessary.

00:03:52

You will make employees want to act.

00:03:54

You will create energy within teams.

00:03:57

Indeed,

00:03:58

the manager organizer manages energy.

00:04:01

The manager facilitator coordinates energy.

00:04:05

The manager leader creates energy.

00:04:08

By taking the lead,

00:04:09

the manager leader galvanizes their teams to act and refocus on their work.

00:04:15

Employees are motivated to act,

00:04:18

not because you have given them an order,

00:04:20

but because they are convinced and feel committed to the challenges you offer them.

00:04:24

Your actions and words will have convinced them and energized them.

00:04:29

Thanks to your perspective,

00:04:31

you bring vision and direction.

00:04:33

Your communication is striking

00:04:35

and feeds energy to this vision.

00:04:38

You are confident

00:04:39

even in the face of obstacles and under pressure.

00:04:42

You are standing upright and straight,

00:04:45

ready to face the challenge.

00:04:47

You are not afraid of your teams,

00:04:48

your hierarchy,

00:04:49

or your clients.

00:04:51

You know how to assert yourself according to your vision and values.

00:04:56

You dare to delegate and you challenge in any situation.

00:05:00

In short,

00:05:01

a successful manager,

00:05:03

an ideal manager

00:05:05

must be able to take the position of an organizer,

00:05:08

a facilitator and a leader,

00:05:11

depending on the people and the situation.

00:05:14

This is also what flexibility is all about,

00:05:17

and as a bonus,

00:05:18

today's manager must lead change

00:05:21

permanently,

00:05:22

which requires them to know how to combine the styles of change leader,

00:05:27

change facilitator,

00:05:28

as well as change organizer.
