WAYS TO MAXIMISE PRODUCTIVITY

As a manager, how do you suggest maximizing efficiency out of your employees? What are ways that you implement to make maximum productivity out of employees Question asked by Nilima Desai - On SiliconIndia

A complete manager in my opinion is a Guide, Teacher & a Good Leader. It is very important for a manager to understand and study the limitations and special abilities of each of his team member. He can then assign the job functions to all the individual members depending on their caliber and ability to take their respective task to its logical conclusion within a set time frame.

It is very important to understand the team member since in spite of the best efforts or the maximum support and best training a person who is not suited to a particular job function or has limited ability will not be able to maximize the out put. On the other hand if that person is given a job which best suites his abilities and temperament then the chances of getting a better output through him are far better.

Not all the people in the team may need a lot of close monitoring but certain people will definitely need constant monitoring, motivating and pushing. A manager can decide a time frame for each task and then can assign the task to each member of his team and keep monitoring each member. All those team members who are able to finish their tasks in the set time frame, should be further motivated by the manger through persuasions and various incentives to shorten the time frame for the same task carried out by them earlier, thus up grading the work efficiency to a next level. This is a continuous process and a good manager has his own way of implementing it very smoothly.
