Where can I get feedback about managing small groups of people.
Motivation, leadership etc.
Thanks

Dont forget to give people choices....in other words..treat people how you would want to be treated...
I find that giving them choices...if working with them directly each day..makes them have a feel like they have a say..and that they are valued....they want to come to work..and they feel like what they sat/do is important..if you are dictative and bossy..people will begin to hate their job..and their work productivity will be lower...
good luck!

From the groups you are manging. give them small surveys about your techniques, and ask the for suggestions. have scale questions like "My manger makes sure that I have what I need to be productive" 1-agree, 5 - disagree, then have space for suggestions.
This will give you valuable feedback, and allow your managed groups to feel empowered and that they have a hand in their own work environment.
Oh, and have the surveys be ANONYMOUS - so that there is no fear or retaliation/retribution. People tend to answer more honestly when they are anonymous.

Check out the book "who moved my cheese" it's great. I also really enjoyed going to the seven habits of highly effective people.
A lot is learning on the job. Just remember to keep doing the things that got you into management, if you haven't done it yourself, how can you ask someone else to do it?

Read the One Minute Manager by Kenneth Blanchard. He covers it all in a very easy to read book!
