INSTANT MBA: Good Bosses Know How Important It Is For Their Employees To Feel
Just like in a relationship feelings are involved just in like the work force. Managers or leaders have to build a friendly relationship with there employees in order for them to feel conformable and so that employees can speak up on there opinions and not be afraid to voice there opinion when necessary. If a leader can build a friendly bound rather then an aggressive assertive bond employees will feel part of the firm and participate in all events rather its meetings or conferences.

In my opinion, this is the single most important characteristic of a good boss--helping their employees to feel connected or valued as individuals. Too often, many of us work under managers who are overbearing dictators and we very quickly learn self-preservation techniques to just get through the day. On the other hand, we are sometimes blessed with bosses who treat us as if we were one of their own, who care about us as individuals, and it is those bosses that bring out the best in us. We WANT to do more for them, we WANT to go above and beyond to show them how much we appreciate being valued. I tried to be that kind of manager, and think I was a success at it, and now I'm striving to be that type of teacher to my students.

INSTANT MBA: “Good Bosses Know How Important It Is For Their Employees To Stay Connected.”
I can use these ideas to try an make sure people feel valued and encourage them to want to learn. The article had some good points but I believe it will be a lot harder to encourage people, if the people are not willing because they might just look at the job as a paycheck and not as a career. I think a lot will depend on what type of workers you are managing in order to be successful.

INSTANT MBA: “Good Bosses Know How Important It Is For Their Employees To Stay Connected Good employers know how to promote good results with good vibes. It is important to make sure than employee doesn't feel like they're are separated from the rest of their co-workers because they aren't producing as quickly as the others. A good employer will normally pull them to the side, have a talk that involves positive and negative reinforcement. I was taught about the "sandwich method" which includes a compliment, a statement on what they need to work on, followed by another compliment. It lets them know you're here to help and that you want them to succeed!

Talking from personal point of view, i find it so hard to focus when there is a lot of tension at work, and the quality of work may just be satisfactory. I think that managers need to create a environment of friendly, conducive environment where employees have mutual and comfortable relationship.Making the employees to feel important initiate confidence and creativity at work, which boost the performance in overall.

It is very important for employees to feel connected and feel part of the team like everyone else. A good leader makes their employees job fun and exciting and not just worried about getting the day over. In order for a business to prosper everyone participating has to feel a connection with the business for it to be profitable. This could help one in the future by connecting with your employees in a way that benefits everyone and not just yourself.

INSTANT MBA: Good Bosses Know How Important It Is For Their Employees To Feel Connected
I definitely agree with Erika Andersen on this one. Employees' feelings are directly related to their job motivation which is related to job performance which is related to customer satisfaction and success for the company as a whole. If employers are focusing on negative things, or even just allowing employees to feel isolated, it is directly bad for the entire firm! The people of an organization are its most valuable capital, in this way employee relations become a vital topic to discuss as a part of strategic management. A successful boss that has rightfully earned his or her position should definitely understand the value of ensuring employees feel connected to coworkers, the company, and the job they perform. All three of these familiarities increase the productivity of a company, which more assuredly makes it a more successful organization to be a part of.

Erika Andersen is correct when she says great leaders truly value community, meaning they don't just focus on results, but that they also recognize how important it is for people to feel connected and have fun. Many leaders are feared by their co-workers, because they focus more on what wrong and not about what is right.

INSTANT MBA: Good Bosses Know How Important It Is For Their Employees To Feel Connected I have worked for a lot of companies that didn't encourage their employees to want to excel and to lead. They preferred to keep their employees suppressed and under their thumbs. These companies had high employee turnover and the employees that did stay were burned out on the job that they were doing. I think that this is not a good way to run a company. If a company wants to keep it employees happy and reduce employee turnover, then they should encourage their employee to move up within the company. They should also give their employees the skill set to do so.

INSTANT MBA: Good Bosses Know How Important It Is For Their Employees To Feel : I totally agree, Having a good boss can not also excel your workers but your business as well. Most time, when you think about it if you are in a environment where you have a horrible boss that always screaming and being negative toward their employees, you will also have employees that's not motivated to work and more coming in half assing not really caring about the business but they are not happy. compared to a work environment where you have great manager and boss, where possibly incentives are giving and people actually love with they do.

INSTANT MBA: Good Bosses Know How Important It Is For Their Employees To Feel Connected
There is no better way to be successful than to have your employees enjoy the environment they work in. Learning and making mistakes is part of life and will always happen, but if you focus on the mistakes, things will never get done. Instead it is better to have good communication between employees and managers so that these mistakes can be taken care of. When an employee enjoys the environment and the people they work with, it is a fact work will be done more efficiently and effectively. It is important to get things done, but you don't want to make work miserable. It is possible to get things done and still enjoy what you are doing.

"Good bosses know how important it is for their employees to feel"
I agree completely with this article because of my background in the Boy Scouts of America. We are taught the values of good leadership, and we don't focus on any form of results, just development of others. You never want to instill any negative feelings towards a leader of a group, whether it's a boss or just a project leader. By having those negative feelings toward a leader, an employee wouldn't work as hard as effective or efficient thus causing the company to lose productivity.

On corporation I feel embodies this message perfectly is Raising Canes. They want their employees to feel appreciated, enable opportunity for growth, want to come to work but, have fun as well. As a leader, you never want your employees to feel like worker bees, who never have fun or feel like they are dragged to a job. No one should dread going to their place of employment. Being that I get bored easily, I think this will carry on with me the most. I would hope that my future employees feel comfortable enough to express their needs, wants, and interest. I wouldn’t mind making work fun and implementing new ideas to the business. Creativity is always welcomed in my book.

Anderson is right. Too many leaders are talking about what’s wrong, but not the goals you have reached. Employees need to know they are appreciated at all times. And they need to enjoy coming to work every day. Harrah has a rule that says you much have fun at all times. If a supervisor sees you not having fun, they will make you challenge them in a dance competition.

Instant MBA: Good Bosses know how Important it is for their Employees to feel connected This article nails it on the head! I've been in numerous positions where I have seen leadership go wrong. A lot of times, installing fear in your followers will work, but it will not last forever. This will eventually cause an overload of stress for the workers trying to meet the need of the manager. Providing a comfortable environment where employees are not frightened by their leader and are willing to work hard to complete the company’s goals is what every manager, employer, and supervisor should strive for. Of course a level of respect needs to be kept when providing a comfortable environment.
