INSTANT MBA: “Good Bosses Know How Important It Is For Their Employees To Stay Connected.”
I can totally relate to this article, as I have been placed in this position several times. I have had three bosses within the last 10 years and they have all had different ways of communicating. People within our department felt the barrier with one and I’ve had to step in several times to let them know how they were being perceived and how it was making people want to quit. We work in a small office and it’s easy to notice tensions rise by just looking at the employees faces. I don’t believe anyone comes to work and want to feel confined to a desk. Yes the work needs to get done, but it’s good to get a little break and just laugh.

INSTANT MBA: Good Bosses Know How Important It Is For Their Employees To Feel Connected
If you are a leader, you should make you followers feel like they can trust you. Being a leader should make your followers feel like no matter what they can still succeed. You should keep a positive environment for your followers because once they feel negativity they may not want to try their best anymore. When you are a leader you should always try your best and look for new ways for you and your followers to succeed. Leaders should always be encouraging their followers to do well and remind them that they are doing a good job.

The article makes a point of what I believe is the most important part of management. Making the employees feel part of the team, and them wanting to do the best job possible for the team should be the goal of any manager. When employee morale is high it reflects in everything they do in a positive member and vice versa. When they feel the organization is part of them, and not just a means to a salary then this goal has been reached.

When I first started with the company I currently work for I felt very disconnected. I felt like everything I did was for nothing. This was due to mostly the management at that location. When I transferred to the Hammond location I felt welcomed by everyone. We were all working toward one goal and because of that we not only got along well but we performed way better than when I was at the Covington location.

This article really hits the spot. Some people in charge don't realize that it is so much simpler to get what you want out of your workers by just encouraging them and not stressing them out with fear. There is no need to be lazy and not get work done, but there are different ways of communicating to your employees than being rude and hostile all of the time. If you give respect, you will most of the time receive it back in return.

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.This gives employees the feeling of empowerment, because everyone wants to be heard.When they feel the organization is part of them, and not just a means to a salary then this goal has been reached.Yes the work needs to get done, but it’s good to get a little break and just laugh.

It is often said that fear will only make people work hard enough so too not lose their jobs. This has been found to be true many times over. However if they are rewarded and find purpose in their goals then they will work harder. People put forth more of themselves if it’s for something they believe in or feel a part of.

INSTANT MBA: “Good Bosses Know How Important It Is For Their Employees To Stay Connected.” Giving an employee appreciation is a very important task. Letting an employee know he/she is doing a great job gives them a boost in motivation. But one does not need to be congratulated every time they do something correct. I also believe giving congratulations in front of other employees so they see that work is not just hidden from a managers view and might push them to do great work so they can be congratulated as well.

INSTANT MBA: Good Bosses Know How Important It Is For Their Employees To Feel Connected
There was a time when where I called my job was like the last paragraph, “leaders unintentionally encourage fear and self-protectiveness by over-focusing on what’s going wrong and how people aren’t stepping up.” After some changes in her private life, my boss has adapted the style described in the article. Morale increased drastically, and productivity went through the roof. I think there is a fine line between being irresponsible with fun and keeping morale up, but if a manager can tip-toe that line, the business will prosper.

Employees must feel connected to their job and clients to better demonstrate their job. Managers must be the ones to get their employees connected. Connection to the job will help employees have a personal gratification for their job and they can be proud who they work for. You do not want your employees to turn down business because they know the inside on the business.

INSTANT MBA: 'I Don't Believe In Hierarchy'
When I began working at the company I work for, we worked with the attitude that we were one team working together to reach a common goal. I love this attitude because I find that it pumps people up and gives them the idea that their ideas mean something and their voice is heard. It's also true. No matter where you work, the reality of the situation is that you are all working together to perform a common goal. As out company has grown, we have had to bring in leaders with experience to get us to the next level, but we have maintained the idea that we are all working together and I think that this works best.

People in the work place feed off each other’s energy both positive and negative. Having a good relationship between employees and employers is very important for a business, you need to be able to interact and feel comfortable. This is something I'm very familiar with, my boss and I have a wonderful relationship without that relationship our work together wouldn't be half as great as it is now.

This article makes me realize how necessary it is to avoid negative talking to employees. When employees feel fear or an urge to over-focus, the results can be dismal. However, when employees are encouraged and positively reinforced, productivity increases and success are often the outcome.

It's always a good feeling to know that you are part of a something bigger than you. When you have a sense of belonging, you tend to take more pride in all aspects of your job. You feel obligated to perform well because you connected with the cause more than before.
