A manager is also a human being but he has to show his managerial skills in dealing with the diversified group of his colleagues.

3. Effective communication: Managers should communicate their expectations both publicly and privately. Managers should be ethical in their commitments. Personal example is the best communication for management. The managers should follow the attitude of "tell me everything". They should know not only the good news but also the bad news.
