The Number One Thing Today’s BEST Employees Are Desperately Searching For… a good boss.
In our last post, we described the three things the BEST employees look for. They are: a good boss; to be part of something bigger than themselves; and compatible, competent coworkers.
Let’s talk about #1- A Good Boss. A recent Gallup poll reported that 90% of people polled say their managers are mediocre or poor. In a cited Interact/Harris poll they were a bit more specific, stating that 91% said their leaders “lack communication skills.” What are YOU doing to become a more effective, efficient communicator?
Further, 57% of those polled specifically called out “not receiving clear directions.” What do YOU do to set clear expectations with your employees?
Finally, sixty-three percent (63%) went on to say their leaders “do not recognize achievements.” What system or process do you have to ensure that recognition occurs DAILY?
This feedback is a DIRECT reflection of the leadership in an organization. Do you really believe that your own employees would respond differently from these national statistics? What would YOUR employees say?
Wouldn’t it be great if you could find out where your team is today and begin correcting the areas that REALLY need addressing?
