So what can you do to keep your energy and productivity levels on top form?
…Remember the vicious cycle you went through as an early teen of not being able to get a job, because you had no experience, but not being able to get experience, because no one would give you a job?
Well fast forward 10, 20 or 30 years later and you might be finding yourself in a similar situation. You want to progress to managerial level within your career but, how do you land a manager role without any experience?
Keep reading for some of our top tips for getting started:
…Landing your first role where you have to manage another employee or a team can seem very daunting at first. You need to remember that you have been chosen for the role because you are capable, and also even the most senior managers in your company started off as a first-time manager at some point and probably felt the same anxieties.
To help you navigate your first couple weeks and months as a new manager we have put together some tips to make it that little bit easier.
…We all know the importance of exercise for our physical health, but more and more the impacts on our mental health are being explored. More specifically, exercise has been shown to improve our mood and subsequently has been demonstrated as beneficial in the treatment of mental health disorders.
Aside from this huge benefit to mental health, there has also been evidence to suggest that exercise can improve your concentration and productivity at work.
…With temperatures in the UK reaching unprecedented levels in recent weeks and these new temperatures expected to become the norm for British summer time due to Global Warming, it’s no wonder people are looking for tips and tricks to stay cool.
Hot weather can result in some uncomfortable and embarrassing side effects such as flushing and sweating, however there are more serious consequences of hot weather if you don’t look after yourself properly. These can be more serious and include dehydration, sunburn and even heat stroke.
…We’ve all been there, waking up in the middle of the night for an unknown reason and before you know it, your mind is racing. Processing the previous day, worrying about the impending one and then, without warning, you are wide awake. Seconds turn into minutes and then a number of hours can quickly pass.
Although we all can experience this occasionally, for some, it can become a regular battle in which they also have to deal with the consequences of inadequate sleep the following day. Here are our top tips to get back to sleep:
…One of the key ingredients within any successful team, both in and out of the workplace is trust. Without it, your team simply won’t perform to the best of their ability or work as effectively as they could do.
Unfortunately trust can’t be forcibly created, it has to be earned individually by each team member which can make it difficult for managers to help to encourage and facilitate the type of relationship building which results in trust.
…The interviewing process can be stressful for both recruiting managers and candidates, after all, recruiting managers are trying to dissect every aspect of a candidate’s experience and personality during a short conversation.
When interviewing for a role, hiring managers will have in mind the particular skills and qualities that they are looking for in an ideal candidate. Some of these can be more specific but there are a number of more broad and regularly desirable skills that crop up on a hiring managers ‘must-have’ list. Time and time again, being a ‘team player’ will be a significantly important trait that is sought after.
…If your inbox and meeting schedule is dominating your working life here are some habits adopted by successful leaders that enable them to retain a fresh perspective and intellectual edge.
1. Get out in the field – Management by walking about tends to illicit far more accurate information than reports and spreadsheets. Making time to get out to network and expose yourself to new individuals and experience can really help to inspire new ideas and creative solutions.
