4 Steps to Driven Employees

The first few minutes of the workday can often be the most important minutes you'll have with your people. It sets the tone for the rest of the day, inspiring others to achieve greater results or leaving them without direction or energy - it's your choice.

Below are five quick and easy ideas that can help you give your people the jump start they need every morning before work begins.

Early Arrival
There is nothing quite as frustrating to an employee as seeing his or her boss waltz in hours after the workday has begun. It's very difficult to respect and follow a leader who fails to give as much as they expect in return.

Arrive to work before or with your employees and let your actions demonstrate your dedication to the company and its objectives. If you expect the best from others you must expect the same from yourself.

Energy
Moods and attitudes are contagious. The moment you walk through the door in the morning you are sharing a message with your body language. Slump your shoulders and drag your way into the office and you'll let everyone around you know that the day is going to be long and uneventful.

Walk in with a spring in your step and a smile on your face and you'll spread the enthusiasm necessary for a productive workday. Everyone sends off vibes, and as a manager or leader, your vibes can oftentimes overpower others. Use this power to enhance the quality of each day.

Meet & Greet
One of the key differences between those who inspire success and those who stifle improvement is the direction they head after entering into the office. While some choose to walk straight to their particular work area, others take a different path and in turn achieve better results.

Begin the day by greeting your people, letting them know through your actions that you care about them and feel they are an important asset to the company. If you merely run to your office and fail to acknowledge the others around you, it will only serve to create a rift between you and ones you rely on for success.

Expectations
While making your rounds you can accomplish another objective that is sure to motivate your people to action. Carrying out this method requires that you have a clear plan of action each day - something that will increase progress in and of itself.

People need direction. They need to know where they are heading and why. As you greet your employees, let them know what results you expect to see at the end of the day. Relaying clear objectives and expectations at the start of the day will help to set in motion a day of accomplishment in place of small-talk, checking e-mail, and mindless paper filing.

Follow these simple tips and you'll have a workforce that is motivated to improve, inspired to succeed, and ready to begin working toward a better tomorrow for themselves and their company.

The Key to Workplace Success

Millions of brilliant, million-dollar ideas are being lost each year, and you may be helping the problem. Two forces are battling in the minds of employees across the globe, and it's up to you to make sure the positive force wins in the end.

The first force driving employees ahead is success. Each day presents them with a new opportunity to grow, expand, and progress further than ever before. Success means something different to each person, but the underlying idea of achieving dreams and goals excites and inspires us all.

The drive of success, accomplishment, and happiness is powerful, but oftentimes the second force can bring a standstill to progress. If left to its own devices, the second force wipes the thrill of success clear away in an instant.

The second force that drives employees is the fear of failure. While it doesn't inspire them to offer their ideas to the world and improve the performance of the company, it drives them to keep still, keep quiet, and keep every great thought locked away forever.

Allowing the force of fear to play the dominant position within an employee's workday robs both the employee and the company of an opportunity to improve and achieve new heights. It saps the strength and energy from a potentially rewarding experience leaving both parties less than what they could have been.

It's Your Choice
Which force takes control is up to you - it depends on the tone and atmosphere you create with your company, department, or team. While many men and women in positions of power frown upon failure, the smartest of leaders expects and welcomes it.

To learn, you must fail. A quick example will help to make the need for failure clear. If 100 happy customers enter and leave a department store, there is nothing to build on. You have no clue as to why their experience was satisfying, only that they left without a complaint. While they may be happy with their experience (or unhappy and unwilling to tell you about it) you have nothing to gain in the long-term.

However, a complaining customer is offering you success on a silver platter. He is telling you exactly what you can do to improve your service. No guessing, no assuming. You are given specific instructions on how not to do something which will lead you to the secret of doing it better than ever before.

When an employee feels free to try new things, to offer their ideas, and to run with projects regardless of the potential for failure (assuming the necessary steps have been taken to ensure the idea is sound and relevant) you will have thousands of ideas coming your way from every corner of the company.

Growth from the Inside Out
Some of the most successful advancements made within the world's largest companies have come from lower-level employees who were given the chance to be heard. If you create an atmosphere in which 100% success is demanded at every stage of the game, you will scare away future success and achievement.

Recalling our example from above, you not only get more ideas when you allow for short- term failure but also the specifics to success. When an employee fails, and takes steps to learn from that failure, you are benefited with new and powerful information. When you know how something doesn't work, you will eventually discover exactly how it does work.

Let it be known throughout your company, department, or team that failure is an option. Think of the countless ideas that are sitting patiently in the minds of your people - now is the time to let them out.
