Nikou Mohajerani Tips for Effective Management

For Nikou Mohajerani, CEO of The Vantage Co, effective management isn’t just reserved for those born with natural leadership abilities. Cultivating great management habits is important for any executive who is responsible for managing others. In fact, she believes effective management is more about practicing effective management habits than innate talent. Nikou shares these tips for successful leadership with her team through ongoing coaching:

-        Set Big Goals: Any executive looking to improve as a manager can benefit from the practice of goal setting. Doing so is an effective way to focus your effort and put you in a proactive rather than reactive frame of mind. “I coach my team to set goals that are attainable and then keep them motivated to hit goals. I am always motivating and inspiring my team to chase their dreams. No goal is too big to attain.”

-        Help Others Succeed: It’s important for good managers to ensure their team members each understand their role and how they contribute to the larger picture, but more importantly, to help individuals achieve their own objectives. Doing so is an effective way to leverage your leadership abilities. “I always put my team’s success before my success.”

-        Promote Learning: Professional development is key to avoiding stagnation as individuals or as a corporate entity. Promoting ongoing learning is a great way to keep ideas fresh and team members engaged. “I make it a priority to ensure we’re always learning within our office.”

Nikou is a fine example of someone who has mastered the skills necessary to be effective in management, and continues to be an inspiration to her team.
