So I had an interesting conversation with one of my clients regarding why the company was losing their talent to competitors…..Are you a good boss or a bad boss? What do your employees know about you that you don’t know?
What if you could get inside the mind of your employees to hear how they think? What if you knew exactly how to influence them, how to motivate them, and how they perceive fairness?
Whether good or bad, bosses have an amazing impact on their employees. Great bosses can make going to work an enjoyable, worthwhile experience while bad bosses can wreak havoc on an employee’s physical health. In fact studies have shown that workers dealing with poor managers have higher blood pressure and incidents of stress-related illnesses.
The fact of the matter is that it’s natural for human beings to form relationships with the people around them whether personal or work related. And how those relationships function impacts our mental, physical and emotional well-being.
Good bosses treat their employees with respect, engage in open communication, and value what each person brings to the organization resulting in a healthier work environment and reduced turnover. Bad bosses operate out of fear or mistrust, micromanage and don’t understand teamwork thereby resulting in a environment of suspicion and demotivation.
Remember: employees don’t leave companies they leave management.
