Small Business Motivation: How To Build Trust At Work.Small Business Motivation: You may be a skillful, effective employer but if you don't
trust your personnel and the opposite, then the chances of
improving and expanding the business you deal with, are
extremely limited.
It's not critical for the employees to like the boss, but they
have to trust him or her. If not, he won't be able to lead them
and the workers will have little motivation at work.
Truth and trust are connected together. You could be honest for
years but one lie can destroy the trust you have built all this
time and there is no doubt that regaining that trust is very
difficult.
You have to be honest. Do not say "I don't know" when you know.
Be straight and say exactly what you have in mind. When you say
"No" mean it. We have to realize that the work place is not a
popularity contest . Tasks need to be completed and work's
goals should be accomplished with success.
Therefore, trying to be pleasant all the time will build
obstacles to your imitazioni borse job and disorientate you from your real goals
at work.
Open your ears and accept criticism from employees or
colleagues. It's hard for every person to accept comments -
especially negative - but in order to lead you will have to.
Always listen to other ideas, suggestions and encourage open
discussions. That doesn't mean, in case you are the manager
that you don't decide according to your facts.
Demonstrate the trust. Just saying "I trust you" is not enough.
You have to show it by assigning responsibilities and providing
all the tools they need in order to succeed in the tasks you
assign to them. When we say tools we mean training, information
e.t.c
Recognize the well done job. People need to be appreciated
especially at work. When an employee is productive, and
finishes the assignment successfully show your appreciation
directly. People need the approval to be in public and the
negative comments in private. It's in human nature, we can't
change it, and so it is important to follow that rule.
Recent research analyzes that workers do not care only about
the money. They want to be educated at work, to take
initiatives and also play a part in resolving problems that
occur.
To sum it up, you have to do what you preach, and be clear with
your actions. When you say "No" or "Yes" mean them, and of
course you have to give the example. If you enforce a rule at
your company but you are the only one who breaks it, don't
expect the rule to last for long. Especially the trust will
vanish, and leading your team will become extremely difficult
task.
