Communication & Feedback - An important Employee Engagement Driver

Image
An important Employee Engagement Driver is Constant Feedback & Communication. It has become increasingly more so in recent times with the constant need to initiate changes into the workplace and business operations in order for organisations to remain competitive and survive the volatilities of the external macro economic and business realities There are many employee engagement drivers, however, communication and feedback tops the list. Organisations who hoard information from their employees is actually doing a disservice to their business growth. If employees are not receiving constant feedback on their work and they are not given the freedom to communicate or being communicated with, then, you may as well have hired zombies. Even robots needs to be given feedback on their performance for improvement, to review their deliverables or to discard irrelevant work and processes.  This is required to optimise their work performance delivery outputs.

Be your own best ''CHEERLEADER''

Image
  I sometimes wish I could predict what next or where my life's journey's going to take me to. Although, my predictions may not be accurate, however, in my mind, I could picture what I want to become in life. These thoughts of becoming propels me to moving daily to work towards achieving my desired goals. What exactly is limiting you? Who or what are you afraid of? Would you rather be unhappy throughout your life? Do or did you really think you can hide yourself so much that people would not talk about you? Well, you are mistaken. As a matter of fact, hiding or shielding yourself is a disservice to your progress in life. The fact is, whether you do good or bad, people would talk. The best thing in life is ‘Freedom’’. Why limit your ability to move forward doing things you love and make you happy by your thoughts of self doubt and what people think of you? Nah, it’s not worth it. Never, No! To protect your sanity, strive on being the 'show'. They want to talk, then give ...

Leadership is ' Service' to the Community.. It's not about 'self'

Image
 Leadership is not about the office or job title..... If you are not ready to serve the community you are in, then you shouldn't be in Leadership.   The major reason why Leadership fail is because the position holder is all about self, self, and only self. Their thoughts for the office is, 'what can I gain from this position? how do I use my office to oppress those with less power than I have? I am in control and know everything? My needs first before anyone else, and the list goes on with an egocentric leader at the helm of affairs.   Leadership is humility and self awareness including empathy for others. Only with these traits can a leader succeed at the job. As a leader, you are first human and being in that position is a God given opportunity to serve. not to control.    Food for Thought : Posterity would judge us all. As a leader, what legacy do you want to leave behind when you are out of  office?  Folu' Rotimi Lead People Operations, Strategist ...

Being an Entrepreneur is not a qualifying factor to being a good Manager. AGREE?

Image
Do Business owners / Entrepreneurs equate to being good Managers?  The answer is a big, 'NO' and here's why: One of this would clash over the other. You cannot handle both being a manager and being an entrepreneur. It is either you are one or the other🙅 An entrepreneur is the visionary one who comes up with the idea to start a business. They are creative, innovative and take the risk to invest in bringing their idea to life. A manager on the other hand is involved in helping to bring the idea to life, manage and sustain the business overtime. They are professionals who have competence in different areas of the business - finance, HR, operations, project management, IT etcetera. Employees have experienced an unpleasant working environment when entrepreneurs or business owners want to manage every aspect of the organisation rather than employ experienced hands to do so. This is not their forte.  Entrepreneurs should put their focus on what is best suited with their personali...

Organisational Culture - Points to note for Business Survival

Image
 Organisational Culture - Points to note for business survival pc: Pinterest To develop a successful organisational culture, it has to be in alignment with the core values of the business. According to Robert E. Quinn and Kim s. Cameron, two researchers of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, their investigation into the key qualities that make businesses survive revealed two key polarities from a list of thirty nine attributes. Internal vs. external dimension Stable vs. Flexible dimension These two polarities can be further distributed into the four types of organisational culture which businesses can adopt to fit with their mission and core values or use interchangeably as the situation arises. I call it the four the four 'Cs' of organisational culture types Collaboration - Teamwork Create - Encourages entrepreneurship and creativity Control - More hierarchical in construct. Very process driven Clan  - Family oriented  Whichever culture type an organisation decides ...
