Managers who have staff leaving regularly and are unable to keep quality workers on their team often see the problem mainly in their subordinates. Unfortunately, they seldom look at themselves, which is where the fault frequently lies. Here are five tips on becoming a better manager for whom employees love working and whose team shows high levels of loyalty.
As INC.com states, employees need to know what to expect from you. A good manager is consistent: they stick to their own firm principles and do not change their values dramatically. Be transparent and make the lives of your subordinates easier.
Where there is no quality and effective communication, there can be no loyalty and satisfaction. For subordinates to be satisfied, they need to feel the manager is listening to them and genuinely cares about their problems and preferences.
A well-functioning team is always built on transparent communication. Take it upon yourself as a manager to ensure there is no bad mood or toxic atmosphere in the team. And set up a culture of openness in which no one is afraid to say what they think.
No employee will stay long in a team where the manager looks down on their subordinates. As a manager, you need to set an example for others, lend a hand to team members, and be a truly full part of the team. Especially at critical moments.
As a manager, you have to measure everyone by the same yardstick. Nothing frustrates workers more than a team manager's having favourite subordinates who receive preferential treatment. Make sure you treat everyone with the same respect, even if they may have different personality traits to you.
