Read an interesting note from boss to employees on ExecPundit. Naveen sent the link and I felt if everyone would follow those suggestions, things would be so much better! The post also has a few notes from employees to the boss, and they are also a good read! Here’s a sampling of the note from boss to employees:
- I am sometimes under enormous pressure from upper management; pressure that you seldom see. Anything that you can do to make my job easier will be greatly appreciated.
- I will make mistakes. Please give me the same understanding that you’d like me to give you when you blunder.
- If I do something dumb or am on the verge of doing so, please tell me. Don’t hint. Tell me.
- I expect you to take initiative. If you keep bouncing things to me, I’m going to wonder why I have you around.
- Don’t let all of my talk about meeting goals and producing results lead you into unethical behavior. You always have my permission to be ethical.
- If either of us has a problem with the other’s performance, let’s talk about it.
So true!
Makes sense … Easier said than done isn’t it …
Just ask this question to your self: “Do you really believe in all above notes?”
