Quotes

  • fleurotiquehas quoted4 years ago
    Remember that trying to radiate false positivity will actually have negative implications for your company: a lack of trust, an inability to problem solve, and the creation of a culture that discourages sharing. Take a look at the message you are sending to your employees. Are you flashing bright, false smiles while inwardly panicking about problems that could break the company? If so, cut the act now. Not only will your employees thank you for it, you’ll thank yourself when you actually begin solving the issues that you once feared.
  • Наталия Грибуляhas quoted4 years ago
    Ideally, from day one you should have a performance and compensation review plan in place and make sure all employees are aware of theirs. This will help improve performance all around, and quiet the political lobbying and jockeying for status in your company.
  • Наталия Грибуляhas quoted4 years ago
    Rather than dealing with performance issues and compensation on a case-by-case basis, you should set up regular performance reviews for all staff members. These can happen as often as you deem necessary throughout the year, and the results of these reviews can help determine whether a raise is forthcoming.
