Countless distractions, threats, and roadblocks prevent people from getting work done. Good bosses take pride in shielding their people from these annoyances. Here are three ways you can help your employees focus on what matters:
- Show up on Time: One of the biggest detractors from work is wasted time, possibly time your people spend waiting for you to arrive for meetings or give needed direction. Being important doesn't give you permission to impede productivity.
- Stop the intrusions: Set aside time for your employees to think and work; don't expect them to respond immediately to voice mail and e-mails.
- Let them have good fights: Don't avoid conflict. Make your people feel safe enough to speak their minds, even to you, so they have productive and creative disagreements.
