1.Select the best people 选择最优秀的队员

As a manager, you are only as good as the people on your team. Give yourself a better chance to succeed by picking the best people from the start.

2.Be a motivator 当一个激励者

Human beings do things because we want to. Sometimes we want to because the consequences of not wanting to do something are unpleasant. However, most of the time we want to do things because of what we get out of it.
人们是因为想做事所以才会去做事的。有时候我们想做什么事情是因为不这样做的后果很差劲。然而，大部分时间我们想做什么是因为我们可以从中得到什么。

It's no different at work, people do good work for the pay, or the prestige, or the recognition. They do bad work because they want to take it easy and still get paid. They work really hard because they want to impress someone. To motivate your people better, figure out what they want and how you can give that to them for doing what you want them to do.
在工作上没有什么不同，大家都是为了薪资，名望，或得到某人赏识而努力工作。他们工作差劲是因为他们想轻松的完成任务而又可以得到报酬，而努力工作是因为想让某人对他们印象深刻。更好的激励你的员工，了解他们想要什么，以及明白你为了让他们达到你想要的目的该如何去满足他们的需求。

3.Build Your Team 建立你的团队

It is not enough that people are motivated to succeed at work. They have to work together as a team to accomplish the group's objective. After all, if we just want them to all "do their own thing" we don't need you as a manager to mold them into a team, do we?
仅仅靠激励使员工在工作上获得成功是远远不够的。他们必须共同努力，为了达到公司的目标而齐心协力。毕竟，如果我们只是想让他们各自完成任务的话，也就没有让一个经理来带领他们组队的必要了，不是吗？

4.Be a Leader, Not Only a Manager 当一名领导者，而不只是经理

You have built the best team from the best employee available. You motivated them to peak performance. What is missing? Motivating a team is worthless unless you provide direction; unless you turn that motivation toward a goal and lead the team to it. It is the ability to lead others that truly sets a manager apart from their peers. Remember that leaders are found at all levels of the organization, so be one.
你得到了最优秀的员工，组建了最好的团队。你激励他们，让他们的能力发挥达到了顶峰。还有什么不足吗？对于团队来说，除非你指明了方向，否则激励是无效的。你必须将那个激励具体化为目标，并指引你的团队实现这一目标。引导他人的能力才能真正能将一名优秀的经理和普通经理区分开来。记住，领导人是存在于各级团队中的，所以，努力当一名领导人吧。

5.Improve as a Communicator  改善沟通技巧

Communication may be the single most important skill of a manager. After all, all the others depend on it. You can't be a leader if you can't communicate your vision. You can't motivate people if they can't understand what you want. Communication skills can be improved through practice.
沟通是经理必备的最重要的技能。毕竟，其他所有的技能都是建立在这之上的。如果你不能妥善的将你的想法和别人沟通的话，你就不能成为一名领导者。因为如果你的员工不明白你想要达到什么样的目的，你就没办法激励他们。沟通技巧可以通过练习来提高。
