How to Keep Employees Motivated: Don’t Be a Mo-Killer

We all know those horror stories of bosses. Are you among them? Click here to find out

more!

Most people who have ever worked for a company they don’t own have one or two

really bad experiences with a difficult boss. Most would have horror stories of “shark bosses,” or bosses who want to squeeze

out of you every cent they pay you.

These practices are highly ineffective, and may work to the company’s detriment – because nothing beats a loyal employee.

An employee, no matter how low in position, helps the company achieve it true

potential.

A boss who is unable to shield his teammates kills employee motivation. This is one of the qualities of a bad boss. Many managers that

maintain the status of a real diplomatic person that does not antagonize clients, and

customers become more important than right. Often, they are unable to protect their team

from unfair accusations or demands and hostile situations.

They say yes to every demand made and put their teammates into excessive

workloads or trouble. They are unable to shield their mates from impatient and

aggressive customers who put them under a lot of pressure with their demands.

Bosses and managers who avoid learning kill employee motivation. Since a manager

is not expected always have the right answer, gaining knowledge requires one

to get into deep research and evaluations to understand every department’s work,

despite their earlier experience.

Learning current trends is imperative, and a lack of that may lead to problems like procrastination, inaccurate estimation,

workload issues, endless meetings, staff shortages, improper budgeting, email wars,

daily conflicts, and being unable to make independent decisions.

Lack of learning leads to bosses distancing themselves from understanding practical issues

and the difficulties of a department. This kills employee motivation.

A good boss is a good listener. You need to listen to your employees, and not be the one yapping all the time. Like it or not, there may

be times when your low-rank staff knows better than you. You have to be a good listener

to realize this. You may have gold in your hands, yet not know it if you keep both your

mind and ears closed.

A good boss does not blame their people. Hey, ever heard of “command responsibility?” If you are a good boss, you

must take the blame if ever your staff does something wrong. And if they do make mistakes, you must be able to

nip it in the bud by listening and being aware of developments going on within your jurisdiction. Stop

pointing fingers. Mistakes happen because the boss failed to notice that something bad is about to happen. Your staff may be ill-informed and that’s your fault too. With great

power comes great responsibility.

A good boss is a good mentor. A mentor is someone who teaches and guides

people into improving and enhancing their knowledge and skills. You must be able to teach them “how it’s done,” and avoid being told by your own staff “how

to do it.”

A good boss knows how to communicate. You must be able to effectively relay both successes and

problems to your employees. If a boss has problem employees, they must not be embarrassed or scared to tell them

that they need to shape up.

A good boss keeps everyone’s morale up.When things are not too rosy, then a good

boss must be the morale booster of his own employees – encouraging them to be

the best they can be.

A good boss is not caught unprepared. Heard of bosses who failed to realize that an important resource vital to production is already depleted? Well then never be

caught unaware and empty-handed. Worse comes to worse; the boss must find ways to search for things his team needs.

A good boss recognizes the great performance of his employees. There’s nothing more frustrating than working for a boss who does not notice great performance. It sends the message that “the boss couldn’t care less – you’re being paid to do the things that you do.”

A good boss understands employees. A boss who does not realize that personal emergencies naturally happen in the lives of their employees

needs to employ robots – not humans. Not allowing an employee to go to the dentist when their head is throbbing from the pain must have

their teeth pulled – at work.
