101 Common Sense Rules For Managers
The InsideCRM guys posted this managerial cheat-sheet today for anyone in a leadership roll. Thankfully they’ve also split all 101 into categories.
Meeting Deadlines
No one will be happy if your team has to rush around at the last minute to complete a project. Follow these tips to make deadlines less stressful for everyone.
11. Only promise what you can realistically deliver. Don’t create deadlines that you know you can’t meet. By only promising what you know you can do, you’ll be able to finish on time. 12. Set clear goals. Once you know what you need to accomplish, it helps to know how and when you want to do it. Put your goals down on paper and make sure everyone on your team gets a copy.
There is no question the key to a successful team is good leadership. Could we possibly add to this exhaustive list?

True. It’s a common mistake for most of us to procrastinate and then rush around at the last minute to complete a deadline. We should have learned from this lesson a long time ago.

Clear goals mean clear results. It’s not a big secret but most of us forget about it or probably just ignore it.
