Role of a Manager

As my team grows, I find myself growing as well. I wanted to take some time for this blog and really talk about what it means to be a manager and what your role as a manager should be.

1. A Manager role models the behavior they are preaching about. A Great manager continues to sell and recruit as if they are simply a consultant on their team. The difference is, a manager guides, motivates, and coaches new recruits and team members and helps them set their goals, along with setting goals of their own and for the team as a group.

2. A Manager duplicates themselves. Teaching others to sell and recruit is part of the job, you learn to grow individually and as a group, You also learn to teach others how to grow and prosper in their business. A Manager develops new managers on their personal team, so the team is always growing and promoting within itself. Teaching others to achieve success is the only way to maintain manager status.

This post is short and sweet this week, but I really feel it gives you a fantastic idea of exactly what it means to become a manager and the role behind growing your team. I am going to leave with a quote

"A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way" - unknown

Have a great week everyone!
