A healthy company starts with you
I’ve discussed the importance of hiring the right people – those with good, eager and healthy attitudes. But once you’ve hired the best, how do you get them to stick around?
Look in the mirror, because the answer is you.
Inc.com describes certain leadership styles that can spur employees to work harder. Some suggestions include taking the high road and staying ethical, maintaining transparency, remembering that success is due to your team and owning any failure as your fault.
A similar list of attributes of a “remarkable boss” can be found on TIME:
- Develop every employee. “Put your leadership cart before your achievement horse.”
- Rescue your worst employee. “Don’t relax your standards. Just step up the mentoring and coaching you provide.”
- Serve others, not yourself. Remember that when success comes, “you were just doing your job the way a remarkable boss should.”
