Manager 101 for Dummies

Here are highly effective techniques for new managers but use it wisely, or it may backfire.

1. Re-organize your group or organization immediately.

This technique will tell everyone that the previous organization is not as optimized as the one you are proposing. And by sheer luck, if the organization is successful, you'll get the credits caused you re-organized it to be successful. If it is a failure, just find a scapegoat - see further bullet points to avoid failure.

2. You should be capable of doing the managerial position or the work within your organization. In case you are incapable of doing or understanding what needs to be done, mitigate the problem by doing the following:

a. Hire someone to report to you that can do your job. This way, if the new-hire's success will become your success.
b. Reward and motivate existing employee(s) to step up and do your job
c. Blame failure on the new-hire or the employee

*Note : if you were hired by a manager that is also doing #2, you must follow suit in his footsteps.

3. Perform #1 again, to mitigate any upcoming failure. Re-iterate #2 as deep as necessary.
