Did you know, NOT responding timely to urgent matters can make your best performers become very frustrated and worried?

If they asked you for something very important and if the answer is 'no', then let them know that in a nice way and as soon as possible, don't keep them waiting for days and then say something.

Here is a use case:
Employee sends Manager a Txt message:

Q. Hey, can I get the report that I need for my work by tomorrow afternoon? Without it I am going to miss a very important deadline.

The answer that the manager has in mind is, "No, because I will not have it available tomorrow afternoon", however he does not want to say 'No' and decided not to respond to the Txt message that day.

Eventually, the manager kept the person waiting for 3-5 days.

2 days later, he asked some one else to forward him the report requested. (Still did not Txt him)

The person received the report needed from someone else on the 4th day, much later than expected. On the 5th day, the manager finally responds to the Txt message stating: "You should have received the report by now".🤯

Do this instead:
Respond back quickly, in a kind way and then suggest an alternate time. Don't wait 3-5 days to respond back to someone on urgent matters where the person is going to face some difficulty because of your delay.

Poor communications can demotivate or disengage people and hurt your organization's bottom line.

Dear Friends,
I wanted to share with you my article on 7 Ways To End Homelessness. There are many ways we can help (besides donating). It starts with awareness and working with others to make a positive impact, no matter how insignificant it may seem to you or to others. Helping others is one of the great expressions of gratitude and Thanksgiving.

Dear Friends,
Consider these 3 simple tips when delegating a task to a team member. (Reupload)

1) Is the person comfortable doing this task? For example: Does the person need additional training or coaching?

2) What does ‘Done’ look like? Meaning, does the person have a clear understanding of what I am trying to achieve, by when and most importantly, why?

3) Have I empowered the person with the right level of authority and resources to complete the task? For example, does the other Stakeholders (who this person has to collaborate with in order to achieve this goal) know that they have to help him/her in completing the task because I have given him/her the authority to request it on my behalf?

Dear Friends,
Did you know research shows that 71% of the American employees thought that their performance evaluations weren’t fair?

Would you like to know how to change that with just 1 small adjustment to the process?

Don’t rank individual performance against others in their evaluation.

Research shows even when people are given a positive performance evaluation (you did better than..) they still perceived it to be less fair than had they been compared against their own performance over a given time period.

Food for thought:
- How will our children’s mental well-being be impacted if we are comparing them with others?

- How will the relationship be with our spouse be if we are comparing them with others?

So, why should it be any different when we are evaluating performance at work?

Why do people hate performance reviews? Maybe because, according to surveys, most of us don’t think they’re fair. A team of researchers set out to examine this in more detail. In four studies based on the data collected from 1,024 American and Dutch employees, they compared two types of referenc...
