People Corporate - Management Columns - Leader Speak Trusting them to deliver the goods 
Avinash Prabhu, MD, Skyline Construction & Housing Pvt. Ltd. An efficient manager comprehends the needs of the management and propels his team towards achieving these needs. He is a person who can get his team to deliver the goods and maintain a high level of performance. Analysing the strengths and weaknesses of his subordinates, he trains them to perform with the minimum of instruction. In the current competitive scenario where results are the key parameter for gauging performance, he monitors every step involved in attaining the desired results. A good leader/manager evolves with experience; he makes the best use of his team members’ strengths and stresses on communication to ensure that each member knows what is expected of him or her. He avoids interfering in tasks assigned to the team, but monitors it from a distance and ensures that it is moving down the desired path. A good leader utilises the best ideas from the team and respects and appreciates their hard work. He is able to win the confidence of his team and boosts its morale to keep up the working spirit. An important role for today’s young manager is to help build and foster capacity among future managers. Besides, he should have the ability to create a friendly environment and build a culture of trust. The next generation of managers should have the foresight to keep pace with the competition. They should transform their work place into a vibrant and vital learning laboratory. Further, they should ensure that all their team members are clear about the bigger picture or the final goal. They should also keep their teams involved, by welcoming inputs and feedback from them. — Avinash Prabhu, MD, Skyline Construction & Housing Pvt. Ltd.
