Leadership comes from the top down. Poor management skills is the cause of most employee dissatisfaction and results in their poor performance. The following article by Nathan Chanesman from My Profile is worthwhile reading: Poor management skills lead to poor employee performance It's disheartening to read that poor management skills is the cause of most business dissatisfaction. You'd think that with all the training and investment that has gone into this topic that we'd learnt by now to get it right. Employees have lost trust in the companies they work for Kelly Services Survey published in October last year indicated that 47% of Australian employees believe 'that companies do not have their best interests at heart'. Dissatisfaction seems to be the order of the day. 50% of Australia's workforce want to quit it's job and nearly 40% reported that they often 'woke up in the morning not willing to face the day'. SEEK, the online job board survey of October 2003 reported that 75% of employees questioned are not happy with their current job. Asked what they liked most about their job 51% said 'the people I work with'. And what did they hate most? 60% said 'the quality of management'. Not surprising, dissatisfaction with management increased as people got older.

When you speak to them are they generally positive or negative in their responses? Is there a high turnover of staff or is your team stable? Consider the absenteeism rate. Are your people often away from work? These are a few questions to ask yourself. Encourage regular feedback from your people. Ask them individually and as a group what they think & how can you be a better manager? What can be improved? What do they like about their work, the people, the industry, the management etc. You can also choose to do nothing, which is not a good option. Don't wait until a crisis occurs. A business owner I know said everything was fine. He said his staff were happy although he never did anything to pro-actively ensure they were. His perception was that he believed all was well because no-one complained. He only acted if a problem was brought to his attention. One week, three of his key people resigned. They had enough of the owner's poor leadership skills. The loss of those people nearly brought the business down. So stay on top of things, be proactive, ask questions and take nothing for granted. The success of any business is a reflection of its leadership. Lead from the top.
