The people who work for you are looking to do well in their role so that they can continue to climb the ladder in your industry. Whether they climb the ladder in another company like yours, or they want to reach management level in your business, you need to ensure that people are feeling happy in their roles and are performing well. What people want is to reach their goals and it’s your job to help them to reach those goals.
It’s easy to lose focus when people are asking us to support goals that take them away from your business, but that’s your job. Offering free online courses to support their training may end up feeling like a smack in the face, but as a leader, your job is to lead and not to control. Helping people to blossom can work in your favor and if there is room for them to spread their wings, they will be loyal to your business. Goals can be daunting though, and yet you are in a position where you can coach your employees to improve in their performances. With this in mind, here is how you can improve their performance as much as possible.
- Give people a reason to be productive. You want to keep everyone focused on their goals and the best way to do that is to reinforce that bigger picture. Show them how their goals and the effort that they make to achieve them will make a difference to the way in which they work. Effective leaders will ensure that people are able to train for and meet their goals – and you want to be that effective leader that had a hand in giving others a step up.
- Be communicative. You need to meet with your employees on a regular basis to see how they are doing. Are they having any issues? Are they able to stay on track? With regular meetings and asking questions, you will know that your efforts are working well for your staff. If people aren’t where they need to be, continue to encourage them and be open about how they are performing. They need honesty!
- Make achievement fun. You don’t have to reward people with stickers, but you can foster a positive attitude in your business with team activities and a lot of recognition and praise. Sometimes, people just want to have that pat on the back they need to get through the day, and you can make their life so much easier when you do.
- Make goals easy to achieve. If you have an employee come to you with something that they want to achieve, you need to do what you can to make their life as easy as possible. Goals can fail because they seem far too much, and it’s much easier to achieve goals if they are broken into smaller pieces. Those who are successful look at a goal and work out how to achieve it in small amounts so that they don’t become overwhelmed by it.
