Remarkable business leaders often have an astute ability to forge productive habits.
Here’s a rundown on the top most valuable habits to instill in your employees.
Encourage clear, cogent communication. Communication is vital to almost every aspect of a business, particularly for a sizable enterprise. Employees may misunderstand directives. Sudden changes in internal operations can trigger negative feelings towards line managers, which can spill over to the company’s clientele.
Give positive feedback to your staff. Positive feedback will pay off in a reduction of errors and higher morale. When correcting or redirecting an employee, slow down. Busy managers may want to cut to the chase when the workflow backs up, but remember you’re setting a leadership example for your entire staff. Speak with a purpose and a smile.
Encourage a spirit of autonomy. Praise is a powerful motivator. Each week take the time to note behavior among your staff that deserves a shout out. Channel that spirit of competition. Set benchmarks and challenge staff to brainstorm new ways to make the operation more specific. Always remember your workers depend on your astute direction.
Build a team spirit. Never leave one employee behind. Forge a group ethos that lauds team cooperation, while still awarding praise to a particular diligent worker. Pause a few minutes each day to be mindful of your staff and the challenges they face each day. Lastly have an open-door policy as that feedback is essential to addressing staff issues that may be simmering on a back burner.
