Motivating employees to work at their full potential is the main premise of successful management.

Managers can use power, money or certain circumstances to achieve short-term results. However, motivation is crucial for achieving long-term results.

If your endeavors result in success of the company in a continuity of at least a few years, you are a successful manager. If other companies follow your business approach, you are certainly an important manager with leader characteristics.

A wise manager knows that it is sometimes more important to listen than to talk.

Managers who insist that employees produce heaps of papers should know that such an approach may result in sloppy implementation.

You asked about important factors in management. I think the answer is quite simple – the most important factor is motivation.
