How can I quickly and easily learn how to manage people?

Question

I own a small direct marketing company that caters to the Fortune 500. Although we are "small" as measured by employee size, we do $1-2MM in annual revenues and the sky's the limit. Ultimately, I would like to scale the company and sell it to a large Madison Ave. type agency or direct marketing firm. My strengths are in sales, marketing (of course), and I am good with numbers and finance in general. My weak spot is management. I tend to 1) hire the wrong type of peple and, 2) micromanage them. HELP! I know that in order to grow the way I envision, I will have to successfully learn to manage people in-house. What do you recommend?

Answer 1

Answer 2

Learn to manage yourself - recognise your strengths and weaknesses and begin to employing based on intuition and gut feel, as well as just "on paper".   Neuro Linguistics Programing is an incredible way to start to manage yourself better and in turn, manage others.  Get yourself a good Results/Performance Coach!  I would be happy to work with you on this - we can do this online if needed!
