Here is a good way to check up on your people skills at work.\u00a0 Ask yourself,\u00a0 “What are the five benefits that people receive while working with me and on my team?”<\/span><\/p>\n

  1. Do they feel challenged?<\/strong> In other words, are you making sure you give them work that matters? Do they see how it is connected to a greater purpose?<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Are they growing?<\/strong> Do you give them the tools, the opportunity, and the encouragement to grow intellectually, to get smarter as they work harder?<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Do they feel respected?<\/strong> There is great power in praise, appreciation, and calling attention to a job well-done.\u00a0 The more you appreciate people, the more they’ll appreciate working with you.<\/span><\/li>\n

Your job as the leader is to make sure they understand why what you’re doing matters and how what they’re doing to help make it successful matters.<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Do they feel a sense of connectedness?<\/strong>\u00a0 Not just a connectedness with the people at work, but with you?\u00a0 Do they feel a part of the team?\u00a0 Do they feel loyalty, that everyone’s going together on the same page?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Ask yourself these questions and then, if you’re really brave, sit your team down and go through them together.\u00a0 You might be surprised at how well you’re doing.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
