Frank is a distant manager, he seldom mingles with his subordinates. For
him work is always formal and official business. The drawback of his being
distant comes whenever there are special projects to be undertaken by his organization.
Because he cannot properly identify the right people which could best help him.
A manager or a leader doesn’t exist for himself alone. He/she naturally
exist for his people in the organization. He leads them toward the achievement
of desired organizational objectives.
Therefore it is a must for a manager/leader to know the strengths and
weaknesses of his subordinates. For if he knows their strengths and weaknesses
he will have no difficulty of identifying his subordinate/s that could best
help him reach their organizational objectives.
When a person works for an organization one way or the other that person
naturally works with people also. Thus it is very important for a manager/leader
to know the competence of his people. He could do this not only by looking at
his subordinates work accomplishment. He could also do this by knowing them
better, by talking and mingling with them.
A good leader/manager should not be distant from his people. For how could
he know them better? And how could he know their strengths and weaknesses if
he’s distant from them?
Therefore a good manager/leader has to know his subordinates and in the
process he will also know their strengths. So that he could easily harness it
whenever he or the organization needs it.
