Tips for being a good manager
There are several ways to advance your management skills, including:

• 
  Communicate. It is important to communicate with your team so you can understand their needs, evaluate their progress and help them achieve their goals.
  
• 
  Be positive. You should be the one to set an example for your team to follow. Be positive during your interactions with your team so they feel more comfortable communicating with you.
  
• 
  Train when needed. Assess the skills of your team and see if you could improve any areas with training. Training also helps your team learn new skills and fosters growth.
  
• 
  Collaborate. As a manager, you should feel comfortable delegating tasks, but you also work with your team to accomplish common objectives. Collaborating with your team will also allow you to see if there’s anything you can do to help individual teammates or the team as a whole.
  
• 
  Practice. Perhaps the best way to acquire new skills is to practice them in a real-life management setting. Gaining on-the-job experience in these skills will help you on the promotion ladder. Do your best for your team, serve as a leader and treat your team fairly.
