I don’t know whether we’re coming out of the “recession” but there has been a huge surge in management training business over the past month or so. Maybe it’s because companies are realising that they need quality trained managers to get them through the recession! How original!
Anyhow, here’s this week’s tip which is short and to the point but with a very valuable message:
Here it is…
“Tell your staff what you want, not how to do it”
When you do this you will find that your staff are more responsive and they’ll be less defensive.
So give them guidance and not direct instructions and you’ll get far more out of them.
You will also see more initiative, more innovation, and more of an ownership attitude from them develop over time.
Ok, that’s me done!
