Your
strength is in your people
Understanding your most valuable asset – your human
capital - and learning to tap into the potential that lies
within your people, are the keys to skyrocketing your company
to be the leader of your industry.
It used to be that businesses needed only to be concerned
with skills and training. Today employers also need to be experts
in recruiting,
Training, motivating, and retaining employees.
Numerous studies show that you get back from your people,
what you invest in them. If you treat people as individuals
and focus on developing their strengths, you will get strong
performance from them.
The bottom line – good people will not stay in a bad
corporate culture, and bad people will ruin a good corporate
culture.
Fact:
“People don’t leave companies … they
leave their supervisors!”

Companies frequently make the mistake of thinking in terms
of offering
“the most” or receiving “the best”, when they would
be better advised
to think in terms of “fit"!
Employees are like plants. To bloom
and thrive, they need to be rooted in the rich soil of
a nurturing environment. They need to be watered with
care and attention, and warmed by the sunlight of appreciation.
Yet, too many managers, unskilled in the art of human
horticulture, treat their people like cactus. They expect
them to flourish in an arid, remote atmosphere. Those
leaders are in for a culture shock.
The leader who neglects to grow his organization's
culture, does so at his own risk. Changing an existing
culture is difficult, but certainly possible. The pressure
of running a company or department can easily distract
attention away from employee-related issues. The fact
that it is difficult to stay focused on the satisfaction
of employees, however, is no excuse. The less attention
a leader pays to an employees’ basic desire to
feel valued, the faster the revolving door of turnover
will spin.
Fair or not, your relationship with the people you
manage, sets the tone for the entire staff. Talk to
anybody who served in World War II and they will tell
you "There were some leaders they would gladly
follow out of a foxhole into battle. But there were
others they wanted to shoot in the back." It's
no different in the corporate foxholes. |
