Effective Management - 4 Ways to Inspire loyalty in your Business
Copyright 2005 Flaming Life Coaching INC.
Today as people become increasingly conscious of their worth,
they are no longer willing to stay in a job that has become
intolerable and impersonal to them.
This means that in the corporate or business world, it no longer
suffice to have a system in place and expect people to just
comply by them.
Without some form of human connections, things won't work out
for long and the strength of commitment from your employees will
simply disintegrate.
Whether you're an executive, a business owner with employees or
an organisation with a team of board members, you have a common
ground. Your biggest asset is people and the number one key to
ensuring that your business runs like a clockwork is to secure
the loyalty and trust of the people on your payroll.
The days of people working for altruistic reasons have long
passed. People want to feel appreciated and emotionally
connected and without loyal people at your side, your business
will go nowhere and die.
There are very simple ways to keep the loyalty of your workers
and co-workers. When you implement these practices, you'll reap
substantial benefits for yourself and your business will become
strong to wager any storm.
1. Make an effort to know the people who work for you. When you
find a way to get to know your workers and to approach them as
individuals, people feel appreciated and become devoted to you.
Most people spend their whole lives trying to get noticed and be
someone. This can be very frustrating for them, especially if
their efforts remain unnoticed.
Too often, many top managers forget too quickly where they
started from. Remember how you once had to slowly work your way
up the corporate ladder and how you felt working persistently
away in a dingy place. Maybe you even ached to be noticed and
get an encouraging word from your former boss. Well if you did,
you're not alone. Other people also long for the same thing you
once yearned for.
You may think, well I 'm not a psychologist and my duty is not
to hold my workers' hands. Just think again. If you want
dedication, you certainly won't get it by refusing to pay
attention to those who work for you. And if that's what it
takes, then it's wise to become proficient at it.
2. Be open and straightforward with people. Show people you
care, and tell them what you expect of them. Be upfront and
clear about your position in relationship to them and their
work. Let them know exactly what they can expect from you in
return.
We all model our lives after someone. My own business life has
been modeled and influenced by two great men. My father who was
a great lover of people and my uncle who was a visionary
industrialist with an unquenchable passion for supporting others.
These two men taught me 2 crucial things about people:
a) Humility: that no matter how high you may get, without people
you are nothing. For it is people who made you what you are.
b) Ingenuousness: When you hide your true self from people, you
end up not knowing
your-self.
3. Encourage and support your employees. In order to encourage
people, you need to know their strong and weak points.
Many people have great gifts and talents, but feel timid and are
self conscious as a result of their pre-dispositions or the
environment they grew up in. Do yourself and the society a
favour and support people to grow and you'll be greatly rewarded
ed in return.
Also save yourself and your business a great deal of unnecessary
sufferings. Find out what people are truly good at and place
them in the position where they feel nurtured and can fully
implement their abilities.
When people know that you have their interests at heart, they
will naturally strive to apply themselves. This is because
people want to belong to "a fold" they can tender, even if that
"fold" is a business. But you must be genuine about your
intention. Because if you're not, people will soon see through
you.
4. Go the extra mile by being vigilant and showing some
interests in the lives of your workers. This is also a good way
of keeping the path of communication open. People trust someone
who takes the time to ask after them and really listen to what
they have to say. One reason why psychotherapy flourishes so
well is the attention people get.
I know of some business owners, who make it a point to seek out
their employees on their birthdays. One man in particular does a
round of his three-storey business building every morning when
he gets to work. He says that he checks his workers' lists of
names at the end of each day and makes note of the names of
birthdays coming up the following day.
The first thing he does the next morning is to go to each
"birthday kid" as he calls them, and congratulates them
personally! Now that's what I call awesome. Especially since he
has 350 employees in his business. Who says you can't find time
to be personal with your workers?
He even takes the time to visit his workers at their home when
they suffer a loss of a loved one, or if they're absent from
work for more than 3 days with an illness. His personal
assistant never fails to sing his praise in admiration.
It is no wonder that this man enjoys excellent references and
great respect. Which is also portrayed by the profits he makes.
People have natural needs which include acknowledging their
existence. If you, as a business owner, forget to cater to these
needs, you may end up sitting in a big but empty arena,
wondering what went wrong. If, on the other hand, you make time
for your employees, you'll be rewarded with great gratitude
through, relentless and undying loyalty.
