Taking on a management role involves leading people and overseeing tasks to help your company run smoothly.
According to www.forconstructionpros.com, the following 10 tips from Larry Kokkelenberg, president at the Center for Business Development, can be helpful for new managers.
1.    Manage by influence, not by power. Managers have the power to make decisions and set goals, but it is more important to influence employees’ ideas and actions through your own passion.
2.    Be trustworthy. Honest, respectful behaviors build trust.
3.    Be firm, fair and consistent. When you consistently follow your company’s standards and are reasonable and impartial, employees will find it easier to know what to expect from you.
4.    Communicate and listen. Be sure to communicate clearly so company expectations and job requirements are understood.
5.    Be positive. When you have a positive attitude, you create a positive working environment. Be sure to thank employees and show your appreciation.
6.    Be a role model. Your position as manager automatically means you need to lead by example and reflect your company’s values.
7.    Be helpful. If your employees need help, make yourself available.
8.    Be patient. Stress can have negative effects, so keeping a level head during stressful situations is key.
9.    Build the team. Everyone needs to work together to complete a job. For example, you could offer team rewards.
10.    Connect work with a higher purpose. Kokkelenberg says: “Don’t give people a job, give them a purpose.”
