Motivation through mutual respect: 5 rules for bosses and employees

A motivated Employees is a good employee. But how can Companys create a good, interpersonal relationship with your employees?

1. Do not spoil me

Who as Executive if you want to be respected, you have to respect your employees. That sounds very simple, but when in doubt it also requires a lot of strength of character. What does that mean exactly?

We as employers must not think that People are for sale. Much Money doesn't mean that people are great performers. People have a good sense of what they need for their own achievements to earn. Some people think they only go to work for the money.

But you shouldn't go into that too financially. You can't buy love and problem solving in a company with money. “Don't spoil me” means for me: Don't spoil yourself with money, but with attention. Employees prefer to be hugged.

2. Do not be afraid to remain firm in dealing with me

There is often something between people that is not said. This is the worst of all. You should always speak up immediately if you feel that something is between two people. With us, the employees know where they stand with me. They feel and feel the.

Directly address problems

If I'm not in a good mood, I don't wait for weeks to find out why I'm not in a good mood, but I address it immediately. This is how I get rid of the problems. I don't take that to my bed. Never fall asleep with an interpersonal problem that you haven't said: "That and that didn't suit me."

However, it can also be difficult at times when you say something that doesn't suit you, but you haven't thought enough about how to say it beforehand. Nevertheless, the following applies: We talk far too little about them Problemsthat we have together.

Ask right

You should constantly talk about it. If you notice that the other person is sitting on something, you don't leave him standing in the rain, but rather make it easier for him to say: "What do you mind about me?" Sometimes you ask, "How are you?"

This can be superficial and if you ask it as a phrase, you will logically get the answer "I'm fine". As you call into the forest, it resounds. But if you notice that there is a permanent irritation and if you are seriously interested, ask differently and you will get an honest, in-depth answer. And then we are quick on the topic “Managers should also be life counselors for their employees”.

3. Do not be stunned if you find out from third parties that I consider your decisions questionable

We sometimes hear from third parties what someone has thought about us. That is normal. People talk about other people all day - for example in the following situations:

• I talk to my wife about others.
• I talk with my employees about the decisions of others.
• I talk to my managers about my employees.
• I say something in the round when we sit together and watch football.

Like Jogi Löw

How often is Jogi Löw questioned? What he has heard about third parties has to do with himself! But this is not evil. We talk about other people and what they do wrong.

We are not discussing this. So when I hear from a third person that someone has criticized me about me, I find that at the moment not so bad. I do not have to panic right now.

Please ask me

Then I can call him and ask him: "Tell me, how did you mean that now?"

And then the other answers: "Oh, that wasn't meant as badly as you now understand it." It's the other way around. Jogi Löw would then only have to phone and ask all day.

4. Do not keep me from the consequences of my actions

Another important point between bosses and employees: how to deal with Criticism. On both sides. Because one thing is clear: Feedback is necessary. But not always welcome. So how do you deal with that?

I often have this protective instinct myself. On the one hand, I want my employees to grow. On the other hand, I chat to them. But I have to allow my employees to have the same experiences and mistakes that I made earlier. Because they can only learn from these experiences.

5. Do not always complain

I sometimes bitch too much, and I have to be careful. Too much grumbling is never good. But that is a multi-faceted issue, because it is always the question of what I look at first.

Criticism - how it matters

I had a long one the other day Conversation with an employee. He's a good guy, but his problem at the moment is that he overestimates himself. If I tell him that and with it in his Eyes grumble, he plays the offended liverwurst.

He agrees with me on the content, but he criticizes the way I say it. So he sees himself first and is offended. At first he doesn't see the problem to be solved. But I think we must all fly the flag of the Company - and only in the second place is it about the question of the person.

Fear of emotions

We have to learn to feel offended check. We always have to ask ourselves: "What is it actually about now - about you or about the company?" A colleague then said to me: “Mike, if you argue with him, we all feel it. And that's for the whole company negative. "

Many people, and especially bosses, feel too fast attacked in person. I say: First comes the company, then comes the company, third comes the company, and then the employee likes to come, and then at some point, deep down in the garbage, comes: the boss.

The company is always in the foreground

I don't want to be at the top of the organizational chart either. Normally, in an organizational chart, the bosses are at the top, then the employees, and at the bottom they are customers. With us it's the other way around: the customers are at the top, then the employees, and the bosses are at the bottom.

That's a different way of thinking, and the org chart reflects that. In the Solution of problems is not about who is most important as a person, but about the company.
