When I went out for consultation, I saw such a case. Due to the resignation of the previous store manager, a certain restaurant promoted a store manager from the store management. Usually, this manager is relatively outstanding in all aspects of his original management position and is very trustworthy. Since taking office as the new store manager, he has been working hard in all aspects, and the operators have noticed it. But after getting busy, I didn't see the results. Nowadays, everyone pays attention to performance. No results means no performance. The new store manager is very depressed.

Ten Commandments of Store Managers (1) Always criticize the operator behind his back. Some store managers will often criticize the operator's gains and losses in front of their subordinates. Most of them are to improve themselves or shirk their own responsibilities. This can easily create a gap between employees and operators, causing employees to lose confidence in the future of the store and their own future, causing very bad consequences. If you really have different ideas and want to communicate with the operator, the best way is to choose an appropriate time to interview the operator and put forward your different suggestions face to face. (2) Every word of the manager is treated as an imperial edict, and he obeys orders. He pays special attention to the words or opinions of his superiors, and loses the ability to judge things correctly. Such an approach will only affect the correct development of the enterprise. Because as a front-line manager and the person who best understands on-site sales, he should have sufficient thinking and judgment skills. It is the responsibility of the store manager to give orders. However, if you do not express your personal views and opinions on unreasonable business instructions and operating systems, it will ultimately cause losses not only to the company, but also to the store manager and employees. (3) If you are hesitant in doing things, you must make prompt decisions on all matters big and small that you encounter within your scope of authority and responsibility, and dare to take responsibility. A store manager who dares not make decisions or decisions is an act of avoiding responsibility and is also an incompetent store manager. For this type of store manager, the operator should replace him as soon as possible. (4) The work is muddle along without setting high standards. As the saying goes, where there is a will, there is a way. If you don't set high demands on yourself, you will naturally not have great development of your company and yourself. No matter what stage the company is in, there will always be higher requirements ahead, and operators and store managers should move towards the next goal with passion. Store managers who fail to set goals and requirements for themselves will be eliminated by those with more ideals and passion. (5) Likes to monopolize results. If successful, he will exaggerate his own abilities. If he fails, he will blame his subordinates to evade responsibility. In this way, you are not qualified to be a store manager and your subordinates will never be convinced. Such store managers often feel uncooperative from their subordinates and challenges to their positions. (6) The basic organizational operating mechanism of the enterprise is not understood deeply and thoroughly enough. For example, complying with various organizational regulations within the enterprise or contacting direct superiors are important basic operations of the organization, but organizational communication is also a basic operation. The organizational operation mechanism is the lifeline for the normal operation of an enterprise. If you do not understand it deeply or thoroughly enough, you will not be able to manage the store well. (7) Self-growth of store managers who cannot train subordinates must be based on team growth. Without team success, individual success and achievement are impossible. Making subordinates capable of working is the prerequisite for training them. The purpose of training is to make work behavior more standardized and improve work efficiency. (8) Lack of basic knowledge of labor management education, management knowledge and common sense of life, safety awareness, etc. are all part of the basic knowledge that store managers need to master. (9) A store manager who only provides and reports information that is beneficial to him, thinking he can cover the sky with just one hand, will eventually be exposed one day if he spends all his time trying to deceive others. (10) He only pays attention to the shortcomings of others and never cares about the advantages of others. He will not explore the advantages of his subordinates and will not appreciate his subordinates appropriately. He will only care about the shortcomings of his subordinates and sow discord, which is equivalent to setting up obstacles for his own work. Everyone wants to be recognized and praised for their work. Moderate praise will make subordinates work harder, and it will also be beneficial to management.
