In a company, the managers are always considered as the front line representation in their company’s Business.

As a manger here are some of the major as well as the dumbest mistakes which you must try to avoid in your professional life to stand up for improving your company’s business.

1. Assuming that your team is listening to you:

This is the first major mistake most of the managers do assuming that their team members are listening to what they are guiding them about the future plans. Just because your team is silent in the meeting, it doesn’t mean that they are listening and learning what you are instructing. In that case, it is your responsibility to make sure your team is paying attention to what you are telling. The best way to know whether they understand your words or not, is by checking out how much they have understood. Ask them to build their opinions to your plans and try to brainstorm new approaches.
