Google put out in late 2015 The 5 Key Traits Employees Need To Succeed. This really is nothing that they and you would not find – new. It is a great reminder to every manager, supervisor or leader that you need to make sure that your workplace environment is set up for success.
For years, I have written, trained and coached many that without trust within the team and taking risks without fear are completely necessary to insure your team’s success.
I have plenty of blog topics around the rest of the graphic. My New to Management category is filled with more details. Check it out!
Excellent reminder that we, as managers, need to help our team be successful. Starting off with clear roles, plans and goals for the team and each individual member of the team! Insure that those goals are met with highest of standards. Our words must match our actions. Seems simple, but this is the foundation. It is like building a house. If your foundation is not sound, well the house will not be a solid house.
For most employees, the meaning and impact portion is important, but often missed. Lots of basic work can get done like the roles, plans and goals… Trying those to meaning and impact is the difficult task. ‘Just because’ does not cut it. Ask clarifying questions of the team. Here is where I have written that it is important to spend time with the team to listen to their ideas, listen to the silence or push-back.
Use your team to help make the complete team a success.
Once again, this was a great reminder.
