5 Things Managers and Leaders Must Do

Communication, forward thinking, prioritization, and other skills must be learned and applied in the workplace by managers if we can expect to improve employee engagement. Employees need a manager who is willing to provide an “open” communication platform that includes feedback in a timely fashion, candid discussion on performance and appropriate behavior, a willingness to clarify expectations and use metrics to measure results, and to include the employee in the awareness and planning stages for the company’s vision.
Here are 5 Tips that we believe makes a difference in your business if put into practice: 

1. Work with each employee's style - Understanding what motivates and demotivates each of your employees based on their style can turn business into a success.
2. Learn to delegate effectively - Start with a list of all of your tasks and simplify it down to things only you can do and things that can be delegated.
3. Be approachable - Meet with employees regularly. If employees can't talk to yo, then you do not know what is going on in the front line.
4. Conduct consistent performance appraisals - This is one of the best means to communicate workplace expectations and key to retention.
5. Become an active listener - Comprehending, retaining, and responding to employee's needs is an important business skill.
