Manager Tactics

[Giuliana]

Organizationalsuccess relies heavily on a supervisor's ability to manage their team. When led properly, a well-managed team works cohesively to reach company goals, navigate challenges and explore new opportunities for growth.

To help leaders looking to create cohesion and productivity within their own teams, 13 Young Entrepreneur Council members dive into the most potent methods for managing high-performing teams. From servant leadership to delegation, these effective strategies are instrumental in empowering teams and driving organizational success.

The best way to manage a team is through servant leadership while setting clear expectations. Teams overperform for leaders who have been in their seats and rally around leaders who show appreciation for the work they do. I think major culture killers are ego and lack of clarity and communication. I've been involved in multiple companies, and the teams that perform the best are the ones where each person has their understanding of what "good" looks like and is held accountable for achieving that level. Teams want leaders who aren't afraid to do the work and who aren't locked in their ivory towers. They also buy into the mission when they know what they are responsible for and how that contributes to the overall goal. - Joel Mathew, Fortress Consulting

Effective team management involves communicating clearly, setting achievable goals and empowering team members with trust and autonomy. Providing regular feedback and recognition fosters a positive work environment. Delegating tasks based on strengths and leading by example are essential. In my opinion and experience leading my team, these tactics create a productive atmosphere where team members feel valued and motivated, leading to better results and a harmonious work environment. - Julia Rodgers, HelloPrenup

The best way to manage a team is through a balanced approach of clear communication, empowerment and feedback. Clear communication sets expectations and aligns goals. Empowerment fosters a sense of ownership and motivation, as individuals feel valued and capable of making meaningful contributions. Constructive feedback helps team members grow and address areas of improvement. These tactics are effective because they combine direction with autonomy, where team members are engaged, aware of their roles and continuously developing. - Jack Perkins, CFO Hub

Managing a team is never easy, but giving your team the tools to be autonomous and problem-solve on their own is key to having a healthy team. Having employees who are in the right roles for their strengths and able to tackle things without you is the difference between a team working well together on their own and a team needing to constantly check in with you about everything. - Rachel Lipson, Blue Balloon Songwriting for Small People

To manage a team effectively, it is crucial to adopt a variety of strategies that foster collaboration, communication and productivity through a combination of leadership, delegation and motivation. A strong leader sets the tone for the entire team. They establish clear goals and expectations and provide guidance and support to team members. Delegating tasks and responsibilities allows for more efficient use of resources and promotes a sense of ownership among team members. Delegation also helps develop the skills and expertise of individual team members. Motivated employees are more likely to be productive and engaged in their work. A good team manager should be able to identify the motivational factors that drive each team member and tailor their approach accordingly. - Eddie Lou, CodaPet

Establish clear processes for getting tasks done and for analyzing results. Following the same processes standardizes how work is done and how data is interpreted. This makes it easier for everyone to understand which inputs are effective at growing the business. Team members then understand how to look at the data themselves and can make better-informed decisions about how they allocate their time, budget and resources. - Firas Kittaneh, Amerisleep Mattress

Teams come apart when someone decides their efforts are more valuable than someone else's. As a manager, I make sure that everyone at my company spends time learning firsthand what the other team members do. For example, my salespeople spend time working in the warehouse when they join the team. They see what it takes to accurately and quickly pick an order (not easy!), and it gives them a far greater appreciation for the skills of their teammates. The more conscious they are of the obstacles faced by their teammates, the more innovative they become about how they use each other's time and skills. They troubleshoot customer issues better and come up with solutions to problems that cost the company less and place more value on their colleagues' contributions. - Vanessa Nornberg, Metal Mafia

Building a winning team starts with a shared vision and clear goals that ignite everyone's passion. Trust your team to own their work and set the course, but guide them with clear expectations and feedback loops. Encourage open communication, celebrate successes and foster a culture of learning through shared knowledge and development opportunities. Sprinkle in positive reinforcement and appreciation and watch your team thrive on trust, collaboration and continuous improvement. Be a leader who empowers, values and invests in their growth to create a high-performing, well-being-focused team that soars. - Kevin Getch, Webfor

The key to successful teams is cultivating a spirit of collaboration. It's often best to put people together who have different but complementary skills. For example, a project may require technical expertise, a knowledge of customer needs and marketing savvy. You want to put together a team where at least one person has expertise in every essential area. Too much redundancy can be inefficient and cause tension, as people with similar backgrounds and skills will want to do things their way. You want the strengths of each member to compensate for any weaknesses so everyone plays an essential and unique role. - Kalin Kassabov, ProTexting

To effectively manage a team, focus on fostering empowered independence and maintaining clear communication. Begin by clearly defining each team member's role, ensuring everyone understands their specific responsibilities. This establishes a strong foundation of organization and purpose. Then, encourage a culture where team members are empowered to develop and implement creative solutions within their roles. This approach not only boosts morale but also nurtures a sense of ownership and engagement. Consistent and clear communication is key to ensuring alignment and fostering a proactive environment. This strategy is effective because it blends structured guidance with the freedom for individual innovation, resulting in a motivated and dynamic team. - Travis Schreiber, Erase Technologies, LLC

Use mindful discipline and motivation to ensure team members follow processes, adhere to standards and consistently deliver high-quality work. This holds team members accountable for their actions and helps avoid wasted resources or time due to negligence. Where there is a consistent violation of work policies, reinforce work expectations and inform them of repercussions they may face due to their actions. Acknowledging performance for meeting deadlines and charting improvement plans for underperforming employees helps motivate them and keep them focused on their work. Set priorities, but allow employees the freedom to adjust their work hours to accommodate their needs to ensure a healthy work-life balance. - Brian David Crane, Spread Great Ideas

What is your tactic called?....... ignore that. Just had a look and yes there are similarities. Thing with FM Mobile is there will be lots of similarities amongst tactics due to the lack of variation in instructions. It's my first attacking mentality tactic for FM24, previous two were control but I'm liking the attacking mentality much more. Did you create yours after the December update or before?

TACTIC USAGE (very important)...... this is a highly attacking tactic for teams that are pre-match favourites so pay attention to the pre-match odds. Whenever you are NOT pre-match favourites, switch team mentality to 'Control' and leave it there for the full 90 minutes. This will allow you to have better control of games where the opposition are the better team.

Sure. Screenshots don't show the instructions for both the wing backs from attacking set-pieces but they are 'stay back if needed' except for attacking corners from both sides, where they are 'stay back'.

hi franky have used your tactics with Liverpool. It's really powerful! But I have problems with my wingers. They don't add much in the way of points. Have you possibly tried with 2 forwards and a treqarista or SS? If it would work? Or if you only use 2 midfielders?

I took a quick try in a new save, I started without any job until december, then I signed for Vis Pesaro (italian serie C), in the last position (20th). After fix something on transfer market (picking some low budget free players) with this tactic I reached 10th position with only two losses (in the first game and in the play off, both of the them against bigger teams).

In the new season, I simple add from free transfers two good new IFs and some players in the midfield and defense, to apply better rotation in the squad. Here in the screen the results (I followed the instructions about odds and mentality). I won also italian serie C cup. Observing the matches, I think that IWBs and RP are the focal points. Great tactic!!!
