Traits of an Efficient Manager ...

In today's business world, an efficient manager can be rarely found. An efficient manager is the one who helps to run a business or an organization smoothly and effectively. He is like a captain of the ship who is responsible for the proper guidance of the other team members.
The following are the top five traits of an efficient manager.

Enthusiasm
A manager should be full of enthusiasm and have a positive attitude. Enthusiastic managers are more committed towards their work. They inspire the other team members to be optimistic for achieving a certain goal in the business organization. Managers with enthusiasm have a ‘can do’ attitude; they don't give several reasons for not being able to handle a project.

Communicates Consistently, Clearly, Concisely
An efficient manager should know the art of proper communication. A manager without proper communication skill communicates too infrequently. Therefore they fail to develop confidence between the team members. An efficient manager communicates regularly, clearly and concisely; thereby giving better direction to the team members or in finding a solution to a problem.

Needs to have a sense of humor
An efficient manager should know the art of being humoristic. A bit of laughter or wit can take him to a long way. Although controlling the work of a business or an organization is a serious task one cannot be an efficient leader without having good sense of humor.

Cool Under Pressure
In a business organization, projects are demanded to be delivered on time and under budget without major problems or obstacle. But projects do have problems as everything around does not work perfectly. Efficient managers consider the major problems interesting. They keep the problems aside and coolly tackle the problems as a great opportunity to prove their managing skills.

Truly Humble
This is one of the most important characteristic of an efficient manager. Managers, who are truly humble with a good character, influence people to work with them. Nobody wants to work with a selfish or a self obsessed person.
