Effective communication is essential in building rapport and closing sales. It is especially important to a manager. According to a recent FastCompany article, here are some of the most common new manager bad habits that you’ll want to be sure to correct. 

  1. You listen, but don’t watch.
  2. You fake it to make it.
  3. You micromanage.
  4. You lose sight of the big picture.
  5. You say “yes” to every project.
  6. You only manage down.
  7. You treat everyone the same.

If you are a manager and can identify with any of these, I highly suggest reading the full article and making it a point to work on breaking the habit.
