‘Having a
manager who ignores you is even more detrimental than having a manager who
primarily focuses on your weaknesses. Perhaps most surprising is the degree to
which having a manager who focuses on your strengths decreases the odds of your
being miserable on the job. It appears that the epidemic of active disengagement we see in workplaces every day
could be a curable disease…if we can help the people around us develop their
strengths’
- Insightful thoughts from a well known management training guru.
If you were to play tennis with your partner, would you like
your partner to be superior or inferior to you?
If you want him to be slightly inferior to you, you will get
a daily ego boost but you will not learn anything new!
If on the other hand you would like your partner to be a better
competitor, you would have a better chance of improving your skill but unless
you focus on working on your skills you will soon get demoralized.
What if your partner understands the value of a good playing
partner and instead of simply deriving an ego boost would teach you some
techniques as well as give you words of encouragement, wouldn’t you love
playing with your partner everyday?
Now imagine you are the boss or the manager of a company and
are wondering
How would I ever make my team feel motivated and empowered?
How on earth will I get my employees to love me?
How would I ever become a great boss?
I’ve given you the secret to Employee Engagement, Motivation
and Delegating responsibilities.
