What does it take to feel engaged and satisfied at work? Is it more money, higher status, perks like ping pong tables and cold brew on tap? None of the above. People need: ✔ Autonomy to control their work ✔ Recognition for their contributions ✔ To be of service to those around them ✔ To demonstrate mastery in their chosen craft ✔ To learn new skills to thrive and open additional doors ✔ To find purpose in a shared mission Different individuals want different mixes of the above. It’s up to you to know which of your team members are most motivated by the right cocktail of the activities above. If you simply try to reward with merit increases, but you’re missing the right ingredients, your team is going to leave. Simple as that.

When new team members join, there's no need to panic. You shouldn’t feel threatened by their presence or think it jeopardizes your position or title. The new staff members are likely not focused on your role or title. Having talented and versatile colleagues is a tremendous asset. You don’t need to exhaust yourself trying to teach or guide them constantly. In fact, they can significantly assist you in your daily management and operations. Remember, it's not just you who desires a better life and a good salary; everyone deserves that. Support, influence, and encourage them in their roles.

Ignoring issues won’t make them go away! Do you have employee performance and behavior concerns that need to be addressed, but instead of handling them, you sweep them under the rug because you're unsure of what you can and can't do? You don’t have the expertise, or you have an admin or office manager who handles the “HR stuff” but isn’t skilled in HR. As a result, you’re stressed, frustrated, and it’s impacting employee morale and productivity. Don't let uncertainty hold you back—let's work together to bring clarity, resolve concerns, and build a stronger team. DM ME! Happy Saturday. ☀️

After a couple of years in management roles this is what I have observed. The strength of any team relies on the quality of the individual welfare of the team members. And therefore in any role that we play in companies especially managerial, it is important to ask ourselves: 1. Do I understand the needs/welfare of the team members? 2. How can I bridge the gap between achievement of company goals and team satisfaction? 3. Do I truly know the team as people, their strengths and weaknesses ? And how can I support them to become better in their roles ? Often we may focus on the goals of the company, and we should because that is the core agenda, but for a company to truly excel, it needs that unwavering loyalty in the team and that can only be arrived at when systems that underscore the needs of the team are created and implemented. (Within reason and logic of course) Loyal employees/team members are not simply 'found', rather they are cultivated and grown through a symbiotic relationship with the company, ensuring maximum output and work satisfaction. Because at the end of the day a successful company needs a team that is happy to work and NOT simply surviving the work.

Looking back at my corporate career, I remember the connections I made, the great companies I worked for, and the opportunities I had to manage a team. While managing a team has its share of challenges and rewards, it also can be complex, especially when managing people of different generations. There are key strategies for successfully managing an intergenerational team and this week, I will be sharing some of these strategies. The first strategy is to foster an inclusive culture. An inclusive workplace is where every generation feels valued and promotes a culture of respect and collaboration. Leaders need to recognize and appreciate the unique contributions of each generation, ensuring that all voices are heard and respected.
