As a business owner, you probably think that your employees are serving you. However, the fact remains that without your employees, your business will not exist and you wouldn’t even have a job. Hence, the way you lead your employees will make or break your business. Here are 3 fundamental ways to manage your staff’s growth and well-being which will ultimately benefit your business:
1. Listen first, talk last
Employees usually don’t want to contradict what the boss has said. So, if you were to voice your opinion first in a meeting or discussion, you are most likely not going to get any new ideas from your employees. Instead, listen to what your employees have to say first. After all, they deal with the customers every day and may have more new insights to a problem than you do.
2. Share your wisdom
A great leader doesn’t just give orders, they teach and empower their employees. Sharing your personal experiences with your employees is a great way to coach and create a bond with them. You want to adopt a transparent approach by sharing your mistakes rather than just your successes. This is a great way to build trust while empowering them with your wisdom to grow the business.
3. Walk the talk
Talk is easy. As the leader of your company, your every move is constantly being watched by your employees. If you don’t practise what you preach, how can you earn the trust and respect of your employees and expect them to do what’s best for your business? It is only through leading by example that you can keep your employees in line and forge a strong team to take your business to the next level.
