Managing a group consisting of different types of people can be a daunting task. But it is not impossible. You have to command their respect and let them understand that you are in charge. So any form misbehavior will not be tolerated. At the same time, don't be too harsh on them.
Additionally, make sure you take appropriate action when someone does misbehave, this will serve as a lesson to others.

Understanding the emotions of others is very difficult for managers. I have managed people and I must say that it is never easy especially when you meet people that act like you have no power over them. This is the reason it is necessary one control their emotions when leading as a manager to avoid taking rash decisions.

 

[Osaz96]

Managing a group of people is a whole or of work and it requires skill to do so. A manager must have adequate leadership skills to Ben able to get positive results from the people under him. He should bear in mind that the people he isn’t managing are of different backgrounds, mindsets, and beliefs so he has to learn to set examples and handle situations without sentiments.

The hardest thing is to understand the mentality of every person in a group, because different people have different thinking about a particular thing.
if you want to lead a group of people, you have to urge all over of them on your point of view, and listen everyone opinion and lead them according to collective mentality.

 

[Peppul]

Humans generally are not easy to manage, it's already difficult to manage one person but when it comes to a group of people it's another thing entirely, people have their own opinion and would want to work on individual ideas, as a manager it's best to get to know the people you are managing, what and what you can do to make them work under you and best is be calm with them and at the same time be strict so they won't take advantage of your kindness.

 

[Aniwhyte]

A manager of a company or organisation has a very huge responsibility on his shoulders, if any thing or money goes missing in the company he is surely toe one to be completely held responsible, coupled with the fact that he is also managing a lot of people at same time, giving corrections, paying salaries, buying all necessary materials that are needed, the list is endless. It's really not an easy task being a manager of a company.

 

[Adebayonle7]

I can boldly tell you from experience that managing few humans is much more difficult than managing a thousand animals. You need to understand first that, business management or managing a company is quite far & different form human management. And for a business manager, you have to possess the skills and ability for both type of management. Without both, you definetly won't be recording much success.

Human being are complicated, we all come from different backgrounds and have different thought process, managing a group of people effectively is not that easy, to do so you have to understand each individual, and know how to communicate with them, communication is simply the key

Exactly it is not easy to manage group of people in a company it can be quite challenging.
As mentioned earlier poor team work is a very big challenge for managers.
Poor performance in a company and to be able to improve on the working conditions is very challenging too.

Poor teamwork
Sometimes, employees may lose focus on collaboration when they spend a lot of time completing individual tasks. To re-establish teamwork, managers should revisit the purpose of a project. Managers who take the time to acknowledge their team's efforts and clarify the purpose of their work commonly see increased levels of motivation.

Consider dividing your team members into partners so they have a chance to work with someone for a specific project. Team-building exercises are another great way to help everyone learn how to work better together. Base the content of your exercises around the challenges your team faces. For example, if they need to get to know each other better, focus on relationship building.

Pressure to perform
Some managers, especially new managers, to feel like they are under pressure to achieve greatness from the very start of their role. If you frequently feel stressed about your leadership position, take time to revisit the reasons why you were hired for the job. Recognize that leaders learn from experience and mistakes. While planning helps, you will likely face unexpected situations. The way that you choose to resolve conflicts and react to challenges reflects your ability to lead.

Absence of structure
A common challenge that managers face in the workplace is the absence of structure, especially when overseeing a new team. Depending on the work environment, some teams may need to be supervised more closely than others in order to maintain productivity levels.
Take time to develop an organizational structure that helps employees know what you expect of them. In addition, show your team respect to encourage loyalty.

Time management
Because managers are responsible for overseeing the members of their team and communicating with other department heads, they typically struggle with balancing their own tasks. One way to prioritize your own work responsibilities is by scheduling time throughout the day to do specific work. Let your team know the times you'll be available to them and the times you plan to focus on your work. Regularly update your calendar, and share it with team members so they know when they can reach you

• Adjust
• Advice

• Arrange

I think the biggest challenge would be how to get them to work together cohesively, and as a unit. Especially if there are uncooperative individuals within them. However it is your job as the manager to oversee these situations should they come up. Make sure they understand that it is in their best interest to complete the task dutifully and diligently.

I don't see the need for you to force people to work cohesively because that is not the best option and the person you are forcing to work in this manner may not like to bring his full potential because you are forcing the person to work on command and not on his free will,I think that in any organisation one find himself or herself as a manager you should try as much as possible to eliminate the bad eggs that might cause collapse in any business organisation.

As manager, you are supposed to manage people. One key understanding you must have is that people are different and unique in their own ways. There is the concept of "individual differences" and every mamager must learn to accept that. The mistake most managers make is to generalise people by thinking they must act or think same way. There will always be that hardworking staff and that lazy staff. A manager needs to study and bring out the best in every worker so as to achieve the desired goal. It is a difficult task but becomes easy when you treat people individually.

 

[Khezo]

Humans are very difficult to manage. Tell them to do one thing, they would find an excuse to do another. Instruct not to follow a particular process, they would say you are too proud or arrogant. You just have to be your self and in an humble manner communicate with them

Managing a multitude as a manager in a business is a very tough work to do. I said that because a lots of staffs of the organization will come from different background and different School of taught with different attitudes. You, as a manager needs to be tolerant and have a listening ear to work with them.

 

[Ojonuyo]

Managing large number of people is not as easy as some persons do see it as, it requires certain level of human management ability and understanding to manage large group of persons without having issues with them. Another thing is you should try to reach out a hand of love to your workers, get to know how there are fairing.

Managers are often confronted with the challenge of available resources. It's a known fact that resources are often times not available for the execution of a given task so the manager needs to rally round and make do with whatever he has within his/her reach to execute the task at hand.

 

[Samuel77]

According to my own point of view, it is very hard to control people and as a manager, you will face many challenges, such as different suggestions from different people and you will have to choose right, and some people will want to go against your rules and you will have to stand against that, in other to keep the group going well

I understand your point but there are just situations where you just can't help it, what if an organisation has a project to undertake, and the best men for the jobs are two individuals that are loggerheads?, problems arises between staffs all the time in an organisation, what do you do then, sack all of them?
