Instant MBA: Good Bosses Know How Important It Is For Their Employees To Feel Connected
This is something, as humans, we all struggle with. Knowing how to create an environment where people want t o learn and grow takes skill and knowledge. The best approach I have seen is to laugh with them and ask them to volunteer. If they begin to take on more employment when they first begin, they will grow confident and want to take on more responsibility later.

One of the main roles of a leader in a business is to make sure his or her people are properly motivated at the workplace. Moreover, motivated people are capable of doing extraordinary things, so every company should have managers that understand the importance of keeping their employees with a positive attitude. Employees are the most important asset of every firm, so they should be treated as such. It is proven that employees who are motivated and happy in their jobs have a better performance than those who don't feel connected with the company.

Instant MBA: Good Bosses Know How Important It Is For Their Employees To Feel Connected
People always are looking to feel appreciated, and to know they are valued. Most of us are or have been employees, and I can confidently say that we work hard for our employer because we have a sense of connection to the business. Personally, I like to see that I am valued, that my hard work is paying off and that the business does better because of my efforts. As long as employees are feeling appreciated and like their efforts aren't going unnoticed, they will strive to work harder and do more for the company in hope of moving up, or gaining more experience.

While it's important for morale in the organization to build a system of espirit de corps, that morale is only built through a history of success and pride in accomplishment. That only comes through completing business objectives with excellence. I hate to say it, but in my opinion Proteus International is wrong. there are times when a leader should be the team's cheerleader, and other times when he needs to be a slave-driver. I think it is a mark of the mettle of said leader if he can differentiate the appropriateness of the two.

Instant MBA: Good Bosses know how important it is for their employees to feel connected
I agree 100% with this article, it is very important to create a comfortable environment for employees. The thing that leaders fail to realize is that an employee’s work performance is 75% better in a comfortable work setting versus always being pressured. Most leaders assume the position as being drill sergeant unintentionally. Meaning that they pressure their employees to do better and constantly ride their backs without even being aware of this insensitive behavior. Demonstrating this type of behavior makes an employee less interested in completing his/her work, and second guess their employment with the company.Creating a comfortable work environment not only motivates employees to excel, but it also reflects on the leader’s reputation. Leaders and employees alike have to come to a mutual agreement as to what is comfortable for the both of them. No, it’s not to say that the work load will be changed, but different working conditions and new obligations will be set to their standard, because employees are the one of the most important assets to a company.

INSTANT MBA: 'I Don't Believe In Hierarchy' I think companies need hierarchy to survive, but do believe you need to earn respect to be a successful leader. Hierarchies are set up in companies to make the flow of operations to flourish. You must have good leaders and good workers that are on the same side as management. Workers need to trust in management/hierarchies, they also want to have a relationship with them. They want to feel like they could call up management and have a conversation with them if needed, not that they would but they felt they could do this. There needs to be communication between hierarchies and workers for the business to be successful.

I agree with what this person is saying. I think it's important that your employees feel as comfortable with their job as they can. It needs to feel like a second home for them (cause some of us spend more time there than we do our actual homes); a place where they actually look forward to going to everyday. I work for Target and they do a lot of community work that lets the employees get involved in different activities that are fun and exciting. I think it's very important to have a work environment where the leaders are always encouraging employees on everything they do.

INSTANT MBA: Good Bosses Know How Important It Is For Their Employees To Feel Connected I work for a company called Murphy USA and they believe in this statement. Our voices are always heard and they focuses on making the company a better place to work. They have what you call and open door policy where we can ask questions and also make suggestions. This gives employees the feeling of empowerment, because everyone wants to be heard. You want your employees to know that they are an valuable asset to the company. And the way that you do that is to connect with them and not always bring them down try to build them up and show them how they can be better or what the employer can do to make the job better.

INSTANT MBA: Good Bosses Know How Important It Is For Their Employees To Feel Connected
A boss should always want to make their associates feel connected into the business they are working for. An associate wants to feel that they are a part of something and when they have that feeling, it makes them work harder at what they do and they feel that they are a part of something. Where I work this is expressed a lot as a great team effort. When I feel that I am a part of a team, it makes me feel that I will make a difference in the company. However, I have worked at other places that really didn't express the need for a team rather than just another cog in the machine.

INSTANT MBA: Good Bosses Know How Important It Is For Their Employees To Feel Connected No one wants a manager who always points out the things you are doing wrong, but never takes the time to tell you the right way to do it, or never takes the time to acknowledge the good things you do. As a leader of a company you should encourage you employees to do better. You should show them what doing better does for them, the company, and the community. If someone is doing something incorrectly there is no reason to belittle that person. It is your responsibility to show that person what to do in order to succeed and progress. It is very important to have a sense of connection in the workplace. Your employees should all want to become leaders. It is your duty to show them it is possible.

INSTANT MBA: Good Bosses Know How Important It Is For Their Employees To Feel Connected
Creating an environment where employees feel connected can be a very important task for a manager. When employees feel connected and empowered, they will take ownership and drive improvements. More often than not, those employees that are near the product or service see the opportunities and inefficiencies on a daily basis. When these employees feel connected they will be motivated and play a major part in improving processes and driving results.

Connecting with your employees is a great trait in leadership. I think this can easily be forgotten about sometimes. When employees feel connected not only with the department but within the company as well, it makes them feel important and valued. This has the potential of having a huge impact on the company. I hope that as I become a leader one day that I don't lose sight of connecting with employees.

INSTANT MBA: “Good Bosses Know How Important It Is For Their Employees To Stay Connected.” I think this article provides good leadership advice. Nurturing the employees by telling them all the things they are doing right, tactfully telling them how to improve on the things that aren’t going so well, and maintaining an environment the employees can calmly trust are all things I wish were present in all my former jobs. Hierarchies in the workplace need some reformation.

INSTANT MBA: “Good Bosses Know How Important It Is For Their Employees To Stay Connected.”
I have learned from a couple of business classes and being in the workforce, that a great work environment create success and is more profitable than a lousy one. People in the work place feed off each other’s energy, positive and negative. If your boss and/or coworkers is energized and excited about being at work other people will become too and it will make you want to work together to get the job done. On the other hand if you they are in a bad mood or don’t care about the company it can become every man for himself instead of what is best for the company.
