Managers, Here Are Tips To Set Your Employees Up For Success
Being a manager is difficult, especially if you are leading a mix of in-house and remote workers. Here are three ways managers can improve their skill-sets to empower their employees to succeed.
Tip #1: ENCOURAGE AND INSTITUTE OPEN LINES OF COMMUNICATION
To have engaged employees, managers need to create a culture that values feedback, whether it’s upward and/or downward. Yes, you need to give your team constructive feedback when they need to improve. But they should feel free (and comfortable) to do the same with you.
Creating a culture that values upward feedback is much harder. Try creating feedback templates or systems that promote honesty, teamwork, and mutual accountability for the problem and the solution. Remember, feedback isn’t about throwing anyone under the bus, it’s about getting the whole bus to move faster and in the right direction.
