One trait...authenticity
There have been several great coaches that have influenced me over the years. Phil Singleton has been a valuable confidence builder. The board members and advisory board members of the TTPOA have reinforced the value of strong growth and forward movement. There's another guy out there... he is one of the most positive people I have ever met. He is an effective listener, respectful and someone that is extremely trustworthy.
Thank you for your comments! To be associated with so many people you respect, I would venture to say that they benefit from knowing and being around you as well.
Empathy
It sounds like you're a soft supervisor. If a supervisor assigns a task to a subordinate, and he doesn't cooperate then there needs to be corrective action. Simply giving orders is not being rude, or disrespectful, it's your job duty. A worker not cooperating is disrespectful, and if he keeps repeating the same offence the supervisor needs to build a case so he can no longer work there. If you keep letting workers slide without consequences that's when the issues arise. A supervisor is supposed to create a mission-oriented culture in his department where there's respect, integrity, accountability, transparency, and the biggest one of all...no favoritism.
David, thank you for the comment. I have a few former employees who might disagree with your comment. I try to hire the right people and I expect them to perform. There is a time and a place to be direct and to terminate them for not performing. I’ve had to do that in the past. However, in my experience, most employees respond well to a manager that communicates well and offers coaching. But, as you say, if they continue underperforming, it’s time to move on.
They listen
Yes they do ! Thank you for sharing!
