My Weekly Reminder

The secret to being an effective boss is to recognize that people intentionally regulate the amount of effort they put into their jobs based upon how they feel they’re being treated.  If they feel they’re being treated well, they will become excited about giving their absolute best efforts which means they’ll work way beyond their job descriptions.  If they feel their efforts are unappreciated they’ll pull back and do only what they have to do to keep their jobs.  And, if they feel they’re being abused, they’ll either get even by figuring out a way to sabotage their boss’ performance numbers or they’ll look for a job somewhere else.  The lesson here is that if you treat your people well–treat them with respect and show them you care–they’ll return the favor by making you look like a genius as their boss.

This past week I received the following email regarding the Reminer on how listening builds stronger teams:

“Ross,

GREAT thoughts!  This concept probably holds true for family interactions as well, right?”
