"You are where you are today because you stand on somebody's shoulders. And wherever you are heading, you cannot get there by yourself. If you stand on the shoulders of others, you have a reciprocal responsibility to live your life so that others may stand on your shoulders. It's the quid pro quo of life. We exist temporarily through what we take, but we live forever through what we give." —Quote by Vernon Jordan.

Good managers are born some say, but I feel that good managers can be made. In Codleo Consulting, Salesforce consulting partners, being the young company that we are ( 3.5 years as of now), we have a good pool of young and eager talented resources. We as Salesforce consulting partners are investing in them for the company’s growth and their professional rise in the career ladder of success. A few of them have been inducted into the ranks of managers with them overseeing teams (big or small is irrelevant in Salesforce consulting partners) . Their journey from executives to managers has begun and it’s a long and hard journey. This blog is for Salesforce consulting partners, them and is an attempt to prepare the new-gen of managers to succeed.

Below are 3 things good managers do:

• Lead by example. Your habits and leadership will rub off on your team. For example, being late, disappearing for long breaks, not adhering to company policies and so on. Always set high standards for others to follow by beginning with yourself. When you practice what you preach consistently, then your team will truly respect and look up to you. You will also be judged by your team, peers, and seniors for what you are saying / your actions. So, make it count.

• Conscious listening without prejudice. Listening is the only way to know what team members / direct reportees need, expect or how to deal with situations. It’s the only way you can empower your team for their work and success. Listen attentively as Salesforce consulting partners. Open mind, no prejudging. Focus on what they are saying. Don’t be distracted or on your laptop/cell phone. Its disrespectful say Salesforce consulting partners.

• Nurture an inclusive environment. Keep working actively to nurture an inclusive and happy environment for your team. Be it women, minorities, differently abled or the gay community. Some questions that managers must ask themselves on a regular basis are - do we pay attention to the concerns & issues of our reportees? Am I supporting them in all ways possible so they can succeed effectively? What more can I do for them? conscious inclusive behaviour from the managers will flow downwards to all rungs of the corporate ladder, providing opportunities for all to be the best they ought and can be. Do remember when people feel welcome and happy, the team can only go one way – upwards.

Empowering the future of India as Salesforce consulting partners. Codleo as leading Salesforce consulting partners is the company to watch out.
