Day 126 | Why Do They Join...
When people join your company for a long-term career instead of a short-term job they often join because they believe your mission offers them meaningful work, or your vision is aligned with where they want to grow in their career, or your values are consistent with their beliefs.
Why do they stop performing well?
- Their relationship with their manager, or others, is poor.
- Their expectations (#1-3 above) are not met.
- You hired Mr. Hyde instead of Dr. Jekyll.
What can you do about it?
- Demonstrate Systematic Leadership - be consistent, but not consistently bad.
- Inspire them with Meaningful Work - work that appeals to them.
- Regularly express Sincere Gratitude for their contributions.
It is Monday. ACCOUNTABILITY TIME!
- Did you take Sanctuary time over the weekend to improve your focus?
- How did you do on your 3Strands last week?
- Have you defined your 3Strands for this week?
- By 9:00 a.m. this morning you should have 3Strands emails from each of your direct reports.
Stay on track.
