People are an organisation’s greatest asset, yet many employees are demotivated with low levels of job satisfaction. Effective managers know that motivating their people pays big dividends with significant productivity gains, cost reduction and reduced staff turnover. Effective managers use tools and techniques to motivate, grow and keep their staff. Here are some key examples:
- People profiling to match an individual’s strengths with the human abilities required by the job
- Encouraging and recognising a continuous improvement culture
- Identifying, harnessing, and recognising highly motivated resources to lead by example
- Writing inspiring position descriptions that help candidates /employees make an informed decision to opt in or out
Watching team members grow and achieve their goals is one of the most fulfilling parts of being a manager.
‘People’ is the first element in my 4PT Framework – People; Process; Partners; Projects and Technology – as outlined in my book, Perfumed Steamroller which is available from www.perfumedsteamroller.com.au
