Time and time again, I am reminded that managing employees is a lot like taking care of your own children. Just as kids act out, employees who display a bad attitude, sloppy work or poor attendance are nonverbally conveying the message that they want your attention.
If you neglect their signals, you will soon lose them from your team—and they will take a toll on the rest of your team before their departure.
Think about your office and your employees. Which ones are screaming for attention? In the past few weeks, I have had two situations that allowed me to test this theory and in both cases, my theory of “managing my employees like they are my kids” worked like a charm.
