Employees…where do we start? Let’s start with one of the issues I see most in my coaching practice. I will affectionately refer to it as “Who’s the boss?”
Now I am not talking that we should manage our employees like the military. In addition we are all humans with all the emotions that entails. Our work should be something we are passionate about and so our employees are part of that passion. And last, but not least, no one likes conflict.
But employees who do not understand the boundaries that must exist in a business can eat away at your business. You need to listen, you need to really listen, you need to process, and then you need to form your opinion. But first you need to ask – how does this decision affect the way I want to run the business I started?
