A Simple Equation

August 28 2008, 9:11am

So, for businesses, large or small, I have a simple equation for you: Good management + Good working environment = Happy employees and more productivity It is not hard is it? Yet some businesses (read most) get it so, so wrong. A manager has a HUGE responsibility to the people he or she manage. They should be supportive, listen, attentive, encouraging and respectful. Bad managers are impatient, intimidating, bullying, short-tempered and uncaring. Ok, they often have a load of other things they should be doing, and in most instances the company / organisation give them far too many other tasks to do, with no thought about how much time they should be spending with their reports and team. This is where the wheels fall off the wagon and it all goes pear-shaped. Why? Because their people, their team is their most vital and important asset. Neglect them, bully them, ignore them, make them fearful of your reaction, then you are failing badly. If you make your team, your people your fans, then your job will be easier, you will be more successful. You must give your team time and support. You don’t need to be their best mate, but treat them well, and you will thrive and be respected back. If you have a manager who has no time for you, then tell them - make it VERY clear to them that they are failing you. People should never feel unhappy and nervous at work - if they do, then something is VERY wrong. Bullying and unprofessional behaviour in the work environment should never, ever be tolerated. Don’t let these people get away with it. They often do because people don’t speak up. Make sure you do.
