Great businesses are always founded upon a great vision. Great managers will know what it is the company exists for and have a clear idea of where it needs to go and how they fit into the plan and purpose.
You may ask the question of "how do I become a great manager?" and my answer would be to work for a great company. I don't necessarily mean a big company, but a great one. I know that people are always looking for a list of characteristics that will define a great leader or manager, but its almost always tied to great visions' which make a company great, which then attracts great people. All of these are part of the whole that will determine success at management.
The key to communicating the vision of a company is to introduce a simple but powerful statement that can easily be dispersed across the company and understood by all.
I believe these things must be in place to get to the concept of employee participation. Employees want to participate and contribute to something they hold in high esteem. It must exist before the participation part comes in.
Here is one of the areas that a manager can excell and really make a contribution and remain valuable to a company: make sure what makes the company great and sets it apart is permeating the whole company. Then from there encourage the workers to add their thoughts and insights to the various projects and services that are going on in the company.
It is in the ways and means of getting somewhere that employees can add the most to a company. It is managements job to create and encourage the atmosphere that will make that happen.
