As a business leader, it’s your role to ensure that you manage your company and your people to the best of your ability. Effective business management means boosting productivity, improving your processes, and ultimately increasing your ROI.

6 Tips To Improve Your Business ManagementCreate autonomous teams  Prioritise staff trainingUse the right support software  Perfect your time management Improve your decision making Work on your communication skills

Create autonomous teams 

When it comes to managing your teams, studies show that overbearing leadership styles rarely get results. Try instead to create autonomous teams, when it comes to managing your employees. We can define these teams as groups who are given freedom and independence. This freedom and independence might involve setting their own goals; assigning tasks within their group; creating their own pace; or providing training for new recruits. When teams are given higher levels of responsibility and flexibility, these teams often demonstrate higher quality work and more creativity.

Prioritise staff training

Staff training is a crucial part of business management. You may have hired some amazing talent, but if you fail to provide adequate training, your productivity levels will fall. There are many ways that you can offer top quality training opportunities, whether it’s through online courses, workshops, or mentoring. With an improved training experience, you’ll benefit from a more engaged and capable workforce.

Use the right support software 

To help you to improve your business management, there are lots of different types of support software that you can try. It could be project management software, customer relationship management software, or staff engagement software. Boosting productivity levels relies on ongoing efficiency. Technology can help business leaders to streamline all aspects of their management processes. When you are choosing the right software, prioritize those tech tools which have been specifically designed for your industry, whether it’s Care Management Software, or Point Of Sale Software.

Perfect your time management

To improve your business management skills, it’s useful to focus on your time management. To support your time management processes, the following time management apps might come in handy:

  • Hour Stack: This is a great tool for both timekeeping and time management. With Hour Stack you can design your work schedule, plan ahead, and boost productivity. It’s simple to customize your week and stay on top of your tasks. Here you can filter your projects, to ensure that your week is clutter-free.
  • Rescue Time: Here you’ll find a perfect time management app that’s ideal for small or mid-sized businesses. The application monitors your computer activities, sites visited and windows active. With this data, you can get a clear view of your productivity. You can also use the app to plan your schedule and get organized.

There are plenty more time management tools you might like to try, whether it’s Toggl or Focus Keeper.

Improve your decision making

To boost your business management skills, you should focus on improving your decision making. Whether you’re leading a meeting or looking after a team, you need to know how to create plans which move you in the right direction. It can be helpful to use constructive conflict, to involve your team in the process of making the decisions. You should ensure that every stakeholder feels that their ideas were acknowledged throughout the decision making process. 

Above all, your decisions should only be made once you’ve assessed all your options and mapped out your desired outcomes. To focus on your skills in general, you might like to consider the option of a leadership course.

Work on your communication skills

To be an effective business leader, you’ll need excellent communication skills. To enhance these skills, you might like to try the following ideas.

  • Get feedback: Whether it’s giving a presentation or delegating tasks to your team, it can be helpful to ask for feedback on your comms skills. With the right constructive feedback, you can focus on your strengths and weaknesses, and work on your performance.
  • Focus on listening: Effective communication is as much about listening as it is about talking. When you truly listen to your audience, you’ll ensure that you’re answering the right questions, and building your credibility.

Besides these focus points, it can be helpful to invest in the right kind of comms software, for you and your company. A few popular software tools include Beekeeper, Samepage, Zoom, or Mangoapps. When you focus on improving your communication skills, you’ll find that you enhance your business relationships overall.
