Be a successful manager not only a good manager

To answer the question of How to be a successful manager not only a good manager?, you need to consider multiple angles
Angle I:
Management's
most simple and common definition is getting things done through others
using leadership, manager has authority over others which is big
responsibility.
Being
good is easy but being successful requires hiring successful team, he
needs to recruit talented and skilled team members who he can trust and
empower to achieve the organizations mission.

Selecting
and recruiting successful team is human resources job but a connection
is required with the manager so he can list his requirements and he
needs to attend the selecting process and use his ability to choose the
best during oral and written interviews.
Angle II:
Successful manager realizes the difference between being manager and individual performer:

Individual performer	Manager
Specialist	Generalist
Specific tasks	Diverse tasks
Gets things done through own efforts	Gets things done through others
Individual actor	Network builder
Works independently	Works interpedently

Angle III:
The manager needs to choose his behavior according to the organization goals

Profit organization	Nonprofit organization
Direct activities towards earning money. Finance from sale of goods & services. Easy to measure success. Supervising staff.	Direct activities towards generating social impact. Finance from government & donations. Hard to measure success. Supervising donors & volunteers. Managers focus on being spokes person, leader & resource allocator.

Angle IV:
Successful manager has to be successful during crisis, expected behavior:
* Stay calm: leader’s emotions are contagious so manager must absorb fears.
* Be visible: people want someone to control damage.
Ex. After sinking of submarine, Russian president continued vacation.
* Put people before business: deal with physical & emotional needs.
* Tell the truth: Determine the facts then be honest.
* Know when to get back to work: use energy to move forward.

Angle V:

Successful manager needs to realize where he is, there are three levels:

Pre conventional level	Conventional level	Post conventional level
Autocratic - Coercive	Guiding Encouraging Team-oriented Cooperation	Transforming Servant leadership Ex. Mandela / Mother Teresa - Sacrifice hero
Task accomplishment Follow rules Own interest	Group collaboration Meets expectations - Fulfill duties	Empowered staff Full participation Follow self-chosen principles Creative solutions Independent ethical manner Ex. Navy pilot in WW2 ignored orders to go back to coast in order to save others & risked his life.

Angle VI:Manager is required to make decisions, make sure they are ethical:
A - Utilitarian approach:Ethical concept that moral behaviors produce greatest benefit for greatest number.
Manager considers effect of each alternative on all parties then chooses the one with majority benefit.
Ex. No smoking at work even if manager smokes.
B - Individualism approach:Ethical concept that moral behaviors are those promote best long term interests.
This approach believes integrity & honesty are better for LT interests.
Ex.
Don’t cut costs to show high profit, be honest & tell the truth
better on LT, as people will know & you would loose credibility.
C - Moral-rights approach:Ethical concept that moral decision maintains rights of people affected because people have fundamental rights & liberties.

Moral rights:
Free consent right: Treat people as they want to be treated. Ex. No sexual harassment.
Privacy right: People control their private lives.
Freedom of conscience right: Not violating moral or religious norms. Ex. Not asked to spy.
Free speech right: Able to criticize. Ex. Whistle blower.
Due process right: Fair treatment & impartial hearing.
Life & safety right: Living healthy & safely. Ex. No dangerous jobs.
D – Justice approach:Ethical concept that moral decisions are based on equity, fairness & impartiality.
It is close to law domain thinking: clear & not complex.

I
hope this article will boost the creativity in you and help you
in achieving your goals as a successful manager, it's easy once you
