My Weekly Reminder
Many people, once they get promoted into the managerial ranks, mistakenly assume that they’re all done getting their hands dirty–doing the nitty-gritty day-to-day menial jobs on the front line. A recent study of highly successful companies reported in Fast Company magazine points out that quite the opposite is true. In these companies, the CEOs required their executives and managers to spend a fair amount of their time doing front line work–not pointing out mistakes or giving out orders, but working right along side the front line employees. Doing this not only keeps you in touch with the “nuts and bolts” of your business and your customers, but it also lets the front line employees know that you understand how hard it is to do their job. This sends a very clear message that you, as the manager, respect what they do. This not only energizes the front line employees, it greatly increases the amount of respect they have for you as their manager.
