Eight Things Your Employees Want From You

Melissa Raffoni zegt in een blogpost op Harvard Business Review ‘Ik moet vaak betrokken en slimme CEO’s eraan herinneren, dat managen tijd en energie vergt. Het is veel werk om het gevoel, houding en gedrag en acties richting te geven. Vaak hoor ik ook de geheimen van de werknemers van deze CEO’s, over wat ze ontzettend ergerlijk vinden of juist enorm bewonderen van hun baas.

To keep top executives on track, I’ve created this list of what employees want their leaders to do.”

1. Tell me my role, tell me what to do, and give me the rules. Micromanaging? No, it’s called clear direction. Give them parameters so they can work within broad outlines.

2. Discipline my coworker who is out of line. Time and time again, I hear, “I wish my boss would tell Nancy that this is just unacceptable.” Hold people accountable in a way that is fair but makes everyone cognizant of what is and isn’t acceptable.

3. Get me excited. About the company, about the product, about the job, about a project. Just get them excited.

4. Don’t forget to praise me. Motivate employees by leveraging their strengths, not harping on their weaknesses.
