- 1. 10 Things Extraordinary Bosses Give To Employees BY: G.M.SHAHZAD
- 2. Good bosses have strong organizational skills. Good bosses have solid decision-making skills. Good bosses get important things done. Exceptional bosses do all of the above--and more. Sure, they care about their company and customers, their vendors and suppliers. But most important, they care to an exceptional degree about the people who work for them.
- 3. That's why extraordinary bosses give every employee:
- 4. 1. Autonomy and independence Engagement and satisfaction are largely based on autonomy and independence. I care when it's "mine." I care when I'm in charge and feel empowered to do what's right. Whenever possible, give your employees the autonomy and independence to work the way they work best. When you do, they almost always find ways to do their jobs better than you imagined possible.
- 5. 2. Clear expectations When an exceptional boss changes a standard or guideline, He/she communicates the change beforehand--and when that is not possible, she takes the time to explain why she made the decision she made and what she expects in the future.
- 6. 3. Meaningful objectives Almost everyone is competitive; often the best employees are extremely competitive--especially with themselves. Meaningful targets can create a sense of purpose and add a little meaning to even the most repetitive tasks.
- 7. 4. A true sense of purpose The best missions involve making a real impact on the lives of the customers you serve. Let employees know what you want to achieve for your business, for your customers, and even your community. And if you can, let them create a few missions of their own.
- 8. 5. Opportunities to provide significant input Great bosses know that employees who make suggestions care about the company, so they ensure those employees know their input is valued-- and appreciated.
- 9. 6. A real sense of connection A true sense of connection is personal. That's why exceptional bosses show they see and appreciate the person, not just the worker.
- 10. 7. Consistency Exceptional bosses know the key to showing employees consistency and fairness is communication: The more employees understand why a decision was made, the less likely they are to assume unfair treatment or favoritism.
- 11. 8. Private criticism No employee is perfect. Every employee needs constructive feedback. Every employee deserves constructive feedback. Good bosses give that feedback.
- 12. 9. Public praise You might have to work hard to find reasons to recognize an employee who simply meets standards, but that's OK: A few words of recognition-- especially public recognition--may be the nudge an average performer needs to start becoming a great performer
- 13. 10. A chance for a meaningful future Employees will only care about your business after you first show you care about them. One of the best ways to do so is to show that while you certainly have hopes for your company's future, you also have hopes for your employees' futures.
