Notas do Editor
- I am responsible for connecting Happiness and Performance
- Research by Fredrickson and Cole shows that having purpose and meaning actually increases our health at the cellular level.Sharing the “Big Picture” Everyone needs a “Why”. Why should I get up in the morning to help this company? Why should I put in extra hours to make this company successful?Everyone wants to matter and know they are making a difference
- It could be a Company, Team, or a Personal “Why”Explain how what they are doing makes a difference. How does it fit into the big picture.Connect the values of the company with their values. What good are you doing in the world?How is working at this company going to help them reach their dreams.
- Give Examples:Company - Reinventing the Way Brands are BuiltTeam – Make our client successful or increase safety by reducing errorsIndividual – Help them “Share their music with others” – playing guitar in a band
- People want to feel like they have control of their lives. Intrinsic motivation is more consistent and more powerful than external rewards. Employees will put in the extra effort to accomplish something they own vs. something they are told to do.
- Can they decide:when they come in – flexible work hoursWhat they wear – like shorts or casual dayWhat snacks are in the office or vending machineWho they work with – get them involved in the hiring process or let them pick their team for a special projectOrganize the christmas party or other employee eventsTell them the problem – let them tell you the solutionCreate metrics that allow you to give autonomy up to a certain point. For example; they can approve invoices under $5,000 or they can autonomously manage the department as long as the customer service score and employee retention remain above an 85%.
- What decisions can you let them make. Even something as small as how the celebrate birthdays or team accomplishments.What parameters can you create to give them more autonomy yet protect them and the company from catastrophe.
- Flow requires: Clear goal, immediate feedback, balance of skill and challenge, autonomy, environment supporting concentration.Delegate – they aspire to do your job. Find as many ways as possible. They will be happier and grow faster and you will have time to work on more strategic opportunities. It is more work initially, but long term it will free you up so can move higher in the organization.Can they spend time with team members in other functions, offices, or clients?Employees want to be and are more motivated when you hold them accountable. They know when they are not doing a good job and you are just ignoring their incompetence. They probably suspect it more often than it is really true. They want to know hot to get better. They want to matter and make a difference. Formal and informal training, on the job experience, job sharing/trading, career development, recognition, accountability, opportunity to learn about other parts of the business, good for transfers, move them to other jobs or other teams. Experience new clients, new industries, new geographies. Develop soft skills like leadership, organization, prioritization, emotional intelligence, etc.
- Can you let them run the weekly meetingCan you put them in charge while you are on vacationAre there classes they can takeWhat work do they need to do to get ready for the next promotion?
- Employees come to work to see their friendsThe most successful employees have lots of friends and connections. They are able to bridge gaps and get things done.Your relationship with your supervisor is the most important relationship in determining your happiness at work and whether you are willing to put in the extra effort and whether or not you will stay at that job.We used to teach that when you as a peer get promoted, you can’t play favorites and you can’t be friends because you have to hold them accountable. The new research shows that the best way to hold them accountable is to be their friend and help them be successful. Instead of changing the relationship, leverage the relationship.
- Encourage people to have lunch together, talk at the coffee machine, etc.Provide lots of opportunities for connection.
- Weekly meetings – give them time to catch up personally.Share stories about kid or spouse successesKick a soccer ball, throw a football, play basketball. Especially the people who are not good at it.
- This is based on a new study by Anik and colleagues in London. They found that “Prosocial Bonuses Increase Employee Satisfaction and Team Performance.” This connects it all together. You are rewarding for identifying with your purpose, You are giving them the autonomy to choose, you are acknowledging their Mastery of the particular project, and you are helping them connect to other people in the office or oustside of the company.
