6 Mistakes That Kill Employee Morale

In this Essential Insights guide you'll discover what the 6 mistakes are, plus:

• Why committing this error makes it infinitely more difficult to terminate bad employees (for your own sanity and legally)
• The guaranteed-to-fail effort managers spend way too much time on with their employees (and what you should do instead)
• The innocent assumption we make as managers that leave our teams confused and unfocused
• The unconscious bias every human has towards "opposites" and how it makes us too critical of people – and tempts us to "fix" employees that need no fixing
• The two main reasons we fail to find the positive, and how it sucks the life out of our employees (The first reason is simply "forgetting" due to busyness. The other is a dangerous thought process managers fall prey to)
• The fastest way to demoralize employees and decrease productivity (96% of professionals think they are good at this, but employees disagree)
• What managers can learn from great salespeople (Mastering this crucial selling skill is the key to connecting with your employees, communicating with impact and gaining buy-in)
• Failure to identify, understand and tailor your management to the unique behavioral strengths of each individual (This is easily the greatest challenge for most managers)

The reality: most employees rarely tell their boss the whole truth about how they feel at work, fearful of imagined repercussions and awkward conversations.

We certainly aren't mind readers either …
