It happens over and over in businesses every day.

Within large companies, people are promoted to management positions to reward them for performance as individual contributors. After all, the compensation system limits reward options, so why not just promote them?

In small businesses, the owner is getting overwhelmed with all that needs to be done. They think that hiring a manager is the solution to give them a little more balance. The hunt begins!

Unless you get the RIGHT person for the position, both cases have the potential for disastrous results!

You can save yourself and others a great deal of stress and angst if you take the time to be mindful enough to make an intentional decision.

Here are 10 questions to consider BEFORE you select your new manager.

  1. How will they fit into the environment?

  2. How well will they develop and treat the employees?

  3. How much do they really want to be responsible for getting things done through others?

  4. How well will they build relationships with customers and other business partners?

  5. How will they react under stress and when things get the most difficult?

  6. How much initiative will they take to assess barriers and make process improvements?

  7. How much flexibility will they show when the unexpected arises?

  8. How responsible and accountable will they be for achieving results?

  9. How committed will they be to supporting changes in business goals and directions?

  10. How much initiative will they take to develop themselves?

Get creative and use these questions in a variety of ways! Suggestions:

  • Fine-tune or change them so they fit you better

  • Use the concepts in creating your interview questions

  • Use the concepts in questions you ask reference providers

  • Turn them into a rating system for narrowing down your final candidate selections

Take special notice here that all of these questions begin with HOW. Typically, it's not WHAT the manager does that creates issues; it's HOW he/she goes about it that can open the door to disaster. People join companies or businesses, but they leave because of their managers.

1. The Fairness of Office Politics... Integrity and Political Motivation! By Edward Toupin
I hear many complaints daily about the "unfairness" of politics in corporate America. Employees say that their managers "lie" or issue "personal attacks" against them. Indeed, based on the pure ideals that we are taught as a child, this might appear to be the case. However, the corporate culture is not the "real world" in which we live out our personal lives. Each corporate culture is its own world with its own rules and reality. To understand this, one must understand the directions and …

2. Managing After Downsizing By Rick Maurer
So, you survived the downsizing. Your company did something that will probably show minimal, if any, return -- and will make your job as a manager a living hell. Your life has changed dramatically. People on your staff are frightened, fearful that they may be next to go. They will lie low hoping that they can be spared the next swing of the ax. (You may be feeling the same thing as well.) Teamwork will decrease as people begin to view the person next to them as a threat to that increasingly sc…

3. Human Resources: The Misidentified Subject By Sukhbir Singh
Interest in the field of human resources has exploded in recent years due to the promises it offers for a better understanding of human beings at work. The term is now as ubiquitous as it has once been obscure. It is taught in schools and universities; it has turned into one of the main functions of a corporation in addition to marketing, finance, and accounting. Yet despite this trend, there are still many challenges facing the field. It seems like the subject of HR is talking the talk bu…

4. Setting Performance Standards for your Employees
The success of your business is directly related to the commitment and productivity of the people who work in your business. And yet it is generally recognized that 60% of employees, or more, are underutilized in their roles at work. So what are the factors that contribute to low performance standards and expectations? Communication, or mis-communciation, is one of the major sources of low productivity. The messages that move between the owner, employees, managers and even customers are not unde…
