Stop Managing, Start Leading | Hamza Khan | TEDxRyersonU

According to Hamza, managing millennials and knowledge workers the way we used to manage traditional factory workers can be disastrous. Speaking through his own experience of being managed and alternatively as a manager, Hamza makes the case that millennials must be lead, instead of managed and given autonomy to complete their tasks, so that they may grow and reach their full potential.
If you ask Hamza Khan about his role as a manager, he’ll tell you his approach to managing is to avoid it altogether. Before his success as an award-winning digital marketer and entrepreneur, Hamza was a student struggling to find a practical outlet for his creativity while pursuing a degree in business and political science at the University of Toronto Scarborough. In his third-year of university, Hamza switched his major and received a Bachelor of Arts to facilitate a future career in creative multimedia and storytelling. Since graduating, he has worked as a graphic designer and marketer, and teaches social media strategy at Seneca College. He is also credited with making Ryerson University Canada’s leading university in online student engagement.

Being a manager very often has nothing to do with being a leader. In my experience, to be a good leader high level of emotional intelligence is necessary. Being self-aware, being able to manage your emotions and emotions of others, motivation, empathy and social skills are the key here.

[@Bearnoats]

Ya man. Work can be pretty rough but finding the best way to be optimistic and boost morale. Setting a good example for others and making some time to help those who are struggling is part of what makes a good leader. Managing is just a person who’s paid to be in charge of s group of people.

Managing the work v. managing the person is a powerful way to unleash potential by trusting the person to make responsible decisions (100% autonomy) and ensure successful, measurable results are delivered (100% accountability). It is long overdue to move away from location/time based thinking and into outcome based thinking. Work is something you do, NOT some place you go.

This is an excellent way to breakdown how to get the members of your team to outperform the traditional norms. I am a 1969 baby and Hamza Khan is absolutely right. In order for individuals to exceed your expectations and the expectations they have set for themselves, you must lead them! Let them go! People who are managed hate to go work on Monday. They are always watching the second hand tick around the clock and they are not as productive. Individuals who are 'properly' led are inspired [influenced] to be great. They virtually never leave 'work' because they are committed to the success of the organization. You manage systems and processes. You lead people. Great talk @HamzaK

[@HamzaK]

You've beautifully captured the heart of my talk, Shaun. Thank you for your kind words!

[@fortyseventen]

Agreed. When routine work becomes overly 'routine', it becomes important to find more important ways of motivating team members, like making them aware that they enjoy being there, by choice, so they are more likely to be in a positive state when there Or to realize the hidden value that exists around them. Or make friends with like minded people there.

[@stephencarlsbad]

Quote: "You manage things and you lead people/" I agree. People are much too complex to manage. Too many emotions, thoughts, interests, wants, needs, biases, likes, dislikes which = too many variable outputs per management input. You'll never get maximum output trying to manage this range of human complexities, it's too complicated with too many unseen triggers for negative reactions and negative results. Leading is a support based creative endeavor/relationship. If people are giving the reigns, opportunity, and inspiration to be their best, then you never have to constantly tell them to be their best, they're already motivated. If they're motivated ppl will ask for input and assistance. If they don't, then they'll show this in their results and won't be around very long to drag the company down if they simply are interested in being productive and attempting to achieve at their highest level.

Excellent talk, thank you. IMV a good manager (I've only ever worked for one), needs four qualities: 1. a good understanding of the business and finance; 2. good organisational skills to ensure people are clear about their roles and carry them out; 3. work hard as expected of employees, lead by example; 4. good people skills, motivating (I hate to use the word 'manage') staff to carry out their jobs effectively. Good management is almost invisible, it goes on behind the scenes, but bad management leaves huge gaps in morale & performance, & leaves a vacuum for the worst of office politics.

[@johnlove6953]

As a former High performance Sales Manager- Going 27 consecutive quarters w sales growth and 34 out of 35 quarters- one of the main contributing factors was me telling my sales team to never address me as their manager! I told them that your parents didnt raise you for 18 years, take you from totally depending on them and teach you independent living skills , so you can enter the world with a label on your forehead saying, management position available, please inquire inside!! No! No ! Never call anyone your manager! You are the manager of yourself and your life! That position is never delegate to someone else!! No one wants to be managed!! We love to be influence by individuals who know how to lead!! Especially those who are leading their life successfully! We all learn how to walk and talk by observing others and relying on ourselves!! Just get out of people ways and see them figure things out!! Thats how we all learn to walk!! We were and are relentless individuals!

Yes, but you can still motivate and empower your team in the fast food industry. There are so many companies that lack those 2 qualities, but instead they micromanage employees to death. So the employees find other work or come to work unhappy because micromanaging workstyle does not keep your employees.

I disagree. I am a “manager” (although I hate that industrial revolution era job title) in clothing retail who reports to work with the team every fix time in the morning. But I lead the team to work “with” me and not “for” me. That’s what leaders do btw.

[@saxmanjpr5092]

Allowing someone to do what they love in their job and not "expect" then to work is also the key to success. Example. It is my job to sell product in retail, BUT I LOVE to help women feel good about themselves. So me being allowed to just be myself and HELP women at the boutique I work at, the sales increase. It is not about the job, but the journey that takes you to the destination.

"You manage things, and you lead people". Thanks a lot In the near future, maybe machine or AI can replace human labor in some industries. Why not? So then, people will seek for some creative and motivative works to do. Are there still many people for us to manage? We must lead people, and manage things. Totally agree!

[@cpetro38]

As a leader, he or she should always lead by example, put your foot forward and do work you expect others to do and do all things in the open and do them well. Never ask anyone to do a task, but invite them to join you (the team). In most cases the team who sees their leader working hard will automatically want to help. I believe when we as leaders show the way by our hard work, involvement with our team and then have an honest follow-up for good and bad work. We develop a good team by our presence in the business we are challenged to run and operate. The leaders biggest challenge today is "social media vs. work ethics".

[@bellaber184]

There are people in the world who are either driven or not. Lazy or not. You can't convince someone to be something they don't have the desire to be. I didn't start working hard until I got to a point in my life where I wasn't getting where I wanted to go. I understood the principle of hard work, but never applied it because I hadn't gotten to the point of being so sick and tired of not moving forward that I was willing to do whatever it takes. Every one has their own reasons for working hard and moving towards their dreams. Not everyone has an amazing boss like him. However, I believe it comes from within and you can draw it out of yourself and achieve more than you ever thought you could, but it's gotta start with YOU. It's great to have those people who motivate you, but you could at any time fall back into a place of complacency until you decide to be a hard worker and accomplish your dreams.

[@ingwit4136]

There might be confusion about working "hard" and start time and where. I'm not sure that this talk is about lazy employees as it is about employees who realize that they are not willing to adhere to the 20th century model of line management.
