Provide the information that people need to know in order to do their jobs well and feel good about being a member of the team and company. Be thoughtful of what you say to your team members. Don’t waste their time with meaningless chatter or emails. Try to have each and every conversation, email, or announcement be designed to motivate change or help employees do their jobs more effectively.
FOSTER A POSITIVE & RESPECTFUL WORKPLACE
Treat staff members as you would like to be treated – as valued and respected individuals. As their manager you have the most impact on your employee’s experience of the workplace. Maintain a team based atmosphere in which every member of the team feels (a) included, (b) able to learn, (c) safe to contribute, and (d) safe to challenge the status quo, without fear of being embarrassed, marginalized or punished in any way. Deal with rumors honestly and candidly. If you don’t know what the truth is, seek information.
PROVIDE GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES
Give your employees chances to learn, stretch, and grow. Don’t micromanage, provide work tasks that are appropriate for each employee’s current skill level. Look to provide opportunities for promotion whenever they become available.
BE THE COACH
Be a coach, counselor, and facilitator to your team. Remember that you are working for your staff, not the other way around. Tell each person whenever they do a good job and tell them regularly. Remember its also your job to help mentor and guide not-so-good staff into becoming good ones!
FIX PROBLEMS & DRIVE CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENTS
Deal with problems and conflicts as they arise. Maintain and reward for suggestions and solutions so people feel empowered to drive improvements. Develop a “thorough understanding” of the current situation in order to be able to accurately “define the problem”. Thoroughly consider alternative solutions while building consensus. Then PDCA (plan-do-check-act). Properly managed conflicts between people or teams can lead to process improvements, improved relations, growth, and development.
