]]> Comment on Motivating Employee Performance with Inward Focus – 5 Foolproof Steps to Success by Scott Simmerman http://incedogroup.com/motivating-employee-performance-with-inward-focus-5-foolproof-steps-to-success/#comment-507 Scott Simmerman Sun, 29 Jan 2012 15:39:46 +0000 http://incedogroup.com/?p=4432#comment-507 Having a sense of mission, knowing the goals and expectations, and being actively appreciated and engaged in the work itself are important for generating a sense of intrinsic motivation to get the job accomplished at a high level. Also, generating the perception that the worker is moving toward mastery is helpful. People want to feel important and successful, and your bullet on "sense of achievement" is spot-on. Too many people are going through the motions and are not involved and engaged in their work. And so many companies put a wide variety of policies, procedures, rules and regulations into place to generate COMPLIANCE and not engagement. And compliance is what they get, which actually translates into doing only what is expected and not going the extra (mile? NO way. "Foot, maybe...). Today is Yesterday, Tomorrow. Companies and managers could choose to start today to create more past successes in the future, something to build on.

I've been involved in many new campaigns that introduce ... “force” is a more realistic term ... change. Some managers start out by announcing, "This is going to happen, so (if you want your job,) you might as well get on board. What a tragic and misinformed approach. Employees are always more receptive when they have a stake in both the creation and implementation stages of change. This article gives some of the reasons why full disclosure, pre-warning and early involvement is essential. People are not just employees, they're people. Excellent article.

I'm searching for solutions if I have problems, I listen, communicate with the rest of the employees and many more. I do all my best to lead correctly my team and I hope it's ok.

Business communication is not just memos and policy statements. A leader must have the ability to deliver speeches in an effective manner. Social settings are another area where a leader will communicate among his employees. Even during these times, he must not remove his cloak of leadership and his ability to communicate. It is within the social scene that a leader can exert his communication skills. Socially he should be able to display the quality of genuine interest in his fellow workers. Unless a leader has a genuine interest in his fellow workers, his communications with them will seem shallow and insincere. Dale Carnegie, that great motivator of men, said it well in his classic, How to Win Friends and Influence People: “Be sincere. Do not promise anything that you cannot deliver. Forget about the benefits to yourself, and concentrate on the benefits to the other person” (Carnegie 246).

]]> Comment on Effective Email Communication by Ntando Siwela http://incedogroup.com/effective-email-communication-2/#comment-399 Ntando Siwela Thu, 29 Dec 2011 12:33:06 +0000 http://www.incedogroup.com/?p=2863#comment-399 An informative read, thanks Linda. I relate mostly with point 1,5 and 9. The subject line helps get attention in the midst of all the competition with all other emails and things the receiver is busy with. Over and above that, when you want to refer back to a communique it is easier to trace. I have seen a person's day at work spent on a futile search for some email communique that they sent or received ages ago. Remember email is a written record hence bullet 9 is a must do. Email signatures have helped me follow up on important deals whenever i could not locate the business card.Grab the attention you deserve and serve those seconds/minutes and remain contactable.
