Be Bitter or Better
The grim reality hovering over many companies is employees and managers are not happy. If you need proof, Gallup’s Well-Being index shows work environments suck. More eloquently positioned, our workplaces are suffering.
Despite the dismal news, you could shift and switch the trend to one more positive. It’s a choice. You could grow bitter from the response your company has made in these tough times. You could let disillusionment settle in and limit success. Or you can focus on better.
- You can focus on finding ways to make work more satisfying again.
- You can position your team to do great work in tough times.
- You can learn about your employees’ dreams and partner with them to put into place a plan to achieve them
Really the list could go on and on. But it’s time to be in action. It’s time to focus on better. Get your hands dirty by caring enough to inspire your employees despite the grim reality hovering over the company.
You can make things better. You just need to act.
