Message to Employees
________________________

It is quite interesting how many times we come across colleagues in the work space that really don't know how to fully function as an employee. I don't know if I'm the only one who has encountered such beings in the work space, but they tend to be quite simething to work with. Here are some key qualities that will make you an excellent employee, that I have shared with receptive colleagues:

1. Work Ethic and Reliability:

a. Meet deadlines consistently: Deliver high-quality work on time and avoid procrastination.
b. Be dependable: Show up for work on time, prepared to contribute.
c. Take initiative: Go above and beyond assigned tasks, demonstrating a proactive approach.

2. Skills and Knowledge:

a. Stay up-to-date: Continuously learn and develop new skills relevant to your job and industry.
b. Embrace challenges: View new tasks as learning opportunities and approach them with a positive attitude.
c. Be adaptable: Be flexible and willing to adjust to changes in priorities or procedures.

3. Communication and Teamwork:

a. Communicate effectively: Clearly and concisely express your ideas, both verbally and in writing.
b. Actively listen: Pay close attention to instructions and feedback from colleagues and supervisors.
c. Be a team player: Collaborate effectively with others, being supportive and helpful.

4. Problem-Solving and Initiative:

a. Think critically: Analyze situations and identify effective solutions to problems.
b. Be resourceful: Utilize available resources creatively to achieve goals.
c. Take ownership of your work: Be accountable for your tasks and willing to learn from mistakes.

5. Positive Attitude and Professionalism:

a. Maintain a positive attitude: Be enthusiastic, optimistic, and a source of encouragement for others.
b. Maintain a professional demeanor: Dress appropriately, be respectful to colleagues and clients, and uphold ethical standards.
c. Be willing to learn: Show a willingness to learn from feedback and continuously improve your skills.

By demonstrating these qualities, you'll be well on your way to becoming an excellent employee. Remember, excellence is a journey, not a destination. Keep striving to learn, grow, and contribute to your workplace.

Selfemployment or Not, What is your choice?
____________________________________________

Here's a summary of the pros and cons of going into business or self-employment:

Pros:

1. Be your own boss: You have the freedom to make your own decisions, set your own hours, and choose the direction of your business.

2. Greater income potential: Your earnings are not capped by a salary. The success of your business directly impacts your income.

3. Pursue your passion: You can turn your interests and skills into a career you're passionate about.

4. Increased job satisfaction: You have the potential for greater job satisfaction and fulfillment by building something from the ground up.

5. Flexibility: You can often set your own hours and work schedule, allowing for a better work-life balance.

Cons:

1. Financial instability: There's no guaranteed income, especially in the initial stages. You may experience financial insecurity until your business is established.

2. Long hours and hard work: Starting and running a business often requires long hours and dedication, especially initially. You may need to wear many hats and handle various tasks.

3. Greater risk: There's always a risk of failure, and you could lose your investment.

4. Health insurance and benefits: You may need to secure your own health insurance and other benefits, which can be expensive.

5. Stress and pressure: The responsibility of running a business can be stressful, especially when facing financial challenges or market competition.

Ultimately, the decision of whether to go into business for yourself depends on your individual circumstances, risk tolerance, and goals.

A Good Leader Coaches, He or She does not Manage through Advice
__________________________________________________

All managers want to see their employees thrive, but it can be tricky to maintain a balance between guiding and hand-holding.

While some managers might think the best way to lead is to constantly offer their employees advice, recent research suggests that coaching employees, or helping employees maximize their own performance potential, is a more effective leadership style. Unfortunately, the percentage of managers who use coaching as a leadership strategy is slim. In fact, a recent study published in the Harvard Business Reviewshows that the majority of managers act as consultants, rather than coaches. In other words, they lead their teams by micromanaging and prescribing advice — not by helping them learn to come up with their own solutions.

Although managers who constantly give advice might mean well, the best managers are those who help their employees set actionable goals, give constructive feedback, and practice compassionate directness. Here are three simple Microsteps (small, science-backed, too-small to fail behavior changes) to help you avoid management pitfalls and become a better, more effective leader.

Start each of your meetings by telling everyone what the goal is.

There's nothing worse than ending a meeting with the feeling that you didn't accomplish what you set out to do. An easy remedy for this is to begin each meeting by setting an actionable goal for your team, and allowing your employees to work towards that goal as a unit. By immediately and clearly stating the meeting's purpose, managers are able to foster a sense of team unity around achieving the shared goal.

Before your next one-on-one, pause to reflect before giving feedback.

Considering your employee's point of view is a crucial step in the feedback process, but reflecting on your current state of mind is just as important. If you're feeling stressed, rushed, or burned out, you're more likely to deliver feedback without compassion or empathy — even if that's unintentional. In your next meeting, before you offer any feedback, try pausing and taking stock of your emotional well-being before offering any constructive feedback. As a leader, this is your opportunity to point your employees in the right direction and allowing them to find their own paths towards success.

Each time you have constructive feedback, share it with compassion.

Above all, remembering to always practice compassionate directness is key to being an effective leader and strengthening employee-manager relationships. Compassionate directness — or empowering employees to speak up, give feedback, disagree, and surface problems in real time, rather than waiting for structured employee reviews — allows teams to foster a healthier, more trusting company culture. Even when delivering criticism, always remember to be straightforward, kind, and understanding. This lets employees know that you're not trying to put them down, but rather give them the feedback they need to grow as individuals. Giving compassionately direct feedback is how we course-correct and come up with many of our best ideas.
