Make Your Place Of Work A Great Place To Work
All companies today need to move away from being a place where people NEED to come to work to be a place people WANT to come.
When you create a great place to work, employees are excited to be there. They are engaged and want to put in their best work. And that all starts with leaders.
Here are three ways leaders can create a great place to work:
Make people more successful THAN YOU
We assume coaching and mentoring is about making people more successful. It’s easy to spend a few minutes teaching someone or giving advice. The challenge comes when we add those two words: making people more successful than you. When leaders understand their role is to help unlock the potential of their people, it transforms every aspect of the company and its culture.
Get to know your employees as individuals
People don’t want to work for an organization that treats them like numbers. Each employee is an individual, so take time to learn their motivations, goals, fears, and what makes them tick. Start conversations, build relationships, and be human. Connection is the best way to make people feel valued and appreciated.
View yourself as a lighthouse
Modern leaders are lighthouses who shine their light on the sea of uncertainty. Build yourself up to be that lighthouse so that you can guide others and keep them safe from challenges and the unknown.
Creating a great place to work starts with leaders who care about their people. Leaders have an amazing impact both inside and outside of their organizations, and how employees feel and are treated at work affects every area of their lives. Be human and build a place people WANT to be.
