Words of Wisdom on EmployeesIn developing our seminars and keynote presentations, we are fortunate to run across many words of wisdom. If you need a refreshing thought, idea, slogan, or profound nugget for an upcoming meeting, presentation, or lunch room bulletin board, take a look at the following words of wisdom on employees. Don't miss our other categories of Words of Wisdom. 
Random Thoughts on EmployeesOver the years, I've had the privilege of observing many
successful leaders execute a variety of strategies in their quest for
success. The most effective tactic I have ever witnessed is the simple
and constant application of expectations, accountability, and consequences! Start with good people, lay out the rules, communicate
with your employees, motivate them, and reward them. If you do all those
things effectively, you can't miss. I don't think I'm the primary motivator. I give people
license to be themselves and motivate others in that way. We give people
the opportunity to be a maverick. You don't have to fit into a constraining
mold at work―you can have a good time. Executives owe it to the organization and to their fellow
workers not to tolerate nonperforming individuals. Numerous motivational studies show that employees typically
place a high value on getting information about their job, their performance
and how the company is doing. When was the last time you asked your employees if they
have the right level of challenge in their work? Stars radiate light. Black holes absorb energy. We need
to invest in our stars―not our black holes! The character and qualifications of the leader are reflected
in the men he selects, develops and gathers around him. Show me the leader
and I will know his men. Show me the men and I will know their leader.
Therefore, to have loyal, efficient employees, be a loyal and efficient
employer. Research indicates that workers have three prime needs:
Interesting work, recognition for doing a good job, and being let in on
things that are going on in the company. A great employee who is poorly managed is no better than
a poor employee who is managed well.
Treat a man as he is, and he will remain as he is. Treat
a man as he should be, and he will become what he could be.” Which horses win races―those the jockey whips the
hardest, or the ones who enjoy running the most? Employees tend to live up to their manager's expectations
of them. If a manager's expectations are high, productivity is likely
to be excellent.
