Be the Boss You Always Wanted and Needed
Do you remember waking up and immediately feeling uneasy and stressed before the workday even began? I remember feeling this way for years without realizing that bad management was mostly to blame. It is important for leaders to model expected behaviors and set standards even if you are your only employee. Goal-setting/monitoring and performance review should be monthly practices in every business. Professional development and team skill building should also be of high priority. Incorporating these into your business will ensure your employees are happier and more motivated. Set the Tone Leaders must set the tone for the day and others will naturally follow. Sometimes it can be very tiresome having to be the only one to bring the hype on a daily basis. It helps to start each day with a morning routine. Make sure you give yourself enough time every morning for something that brings you joy. I enjoy listening to inspiring stories while I drink my morning coffee. It leaves me feeling motivated and excited for the day. Whether you have employees or not, setting the tone for the day is extremely important. Goals and Performance Reviews Goals should be written out and put in a place where you will see them each day. It isn’t news to anyone that it is important and even healthy to set goals for yourself, but how often are you monitoring your progress on the goals? Setting aside time for a monthly review is a great practice to keep your goals fresh in mind. A monthly review can consist of a questionnaire you fill out for yourself each month. At the end of the year it would be very encouraging to look back on your reviews to see how far you have come and use the information to create new goals. Professional Development It does not matter how good you are at your job, you still need professional development. It is good to keep important concepts at the forefront of the mind. Without professional development some concepts could be forgotten and new information could be missed. There are also huge benefits to meeting and engaging with other business owners and like-minded people. Time is typically set aside for this at most PD sessions. The Rundown Don’t be a grumpy boss!
