Public managers must have developed strengths that enable them to manage effectively within a public organization. Along with strengths also comes weakness. A great public manager will use their weaknesses to their advantage when managing. For example, a manager may not be detail-oriented. This way the manager can delegate detailed tasks to another employee. This will then promote teamwork, unity and show the other team member that they can be trusted. Public managers must also look for ways to improve their organization and better serve the public. Public managers must constantly be evolving and finding better ways to manage and prevent any threats that may prevent them from managing effectively. There are many characteristics and qualities that make a great leader. Being a leader isn't just about leading an organization; it means transforming others into leaders. It's being able to inspire others. Being a leader involves instilling confidence, power and leadership in others. A leader should not be self-centered and should instill leadership in others for the benefit of the entire organization. When a leader creates leaders in others, it allows them to delegate tasks throughout the organization. The key to delegation is to identify the team's strengths and capitalize on them. Delegating tasks to others also builds trust and allows a leader to show the team that he believes in them to get the job done. Trust is a very valuable quality that a leader can use to manage their organization. If a leader makes honest and ethical behavior a key value, his or her team will follow in his or her footsteps. Additionally, a leader should not be afraid to delegate and take control of their organization. When you manage conflicts... at the center of the card... you consolidate the company's visions and values. Strong leaders should only hire people with the skills and experience, as well as the personality and motivation needed to move forward. Every employee must be aligned with the attitudes and steps needed to face challenges and achieve everything they set out to do. Organizational leaders have a tough task ahead of them, and they will continue to get tougher as our nation progresses. Reference Rosenbloom, H.D. Kravchuk, S.R., Clerkin, M.R., (2009).
