By David Stern
“If you are good enough, you are old enough,” a team manager once said when giving Michael Owen, a first-class goal-scorer, his first international game at the age of 18. Is the same true in business? Young executives come back from business school armed with big ideas. But these ideas may or may not win support from colleagues.
So what are the practical steps that young managers need to take in order to be welcomed?
“The biggest challenge is a basic lack of experience” says Steve Newhall, a management consultant. “This will affect how other people see you. You need to build credibility with your key stakeholders on a one-to-one basis in order to show that you are up to the job. You’ve got to have confidence in your ability to do the job. But remember that the people around you may not share that opinion.”
Young managers also have to recognise their own weaknesses and then do something about them. They need a good mentor, someone who has plenty of experience and who will give them support and good advice.
Some advice
• Act your age. Do not try to look like an older person. Dress your age, too.
• Avoid fovouritism and cliques. Leaders win respect by treating people the same.
• Build coalitions. Show colleagues that you are aware of your limited experience and that you are interseted in getting advice.
• Keep a cool head, even when you are under pressure. Some colleagues will expect you to crack. Do not give them the satisfaction.
• Show respect to older colleagues. They may be on a slower career path just because that is where they want to be. They have seen many ambitious young people come and go. Use their experience.
• Find the right balance between being enthusiastic and being over-confident. Use your youth and energy but don’t overdo it.
• Under-promise and over-deliver.
a. Clever Tactics for Brilliant Young Managers
b. Big Ideas of Young Managers
c. Young Managers: Lack of Experience
