One way suggested by training professionals is to 'sandwich' the "not-so-good news" (negative criticism) with positive remarks and feedback. Give a positive start and finish. The door is then open for further public (group) discussion or a chance of a word with yourself in private. \nIn trying to help your team improve, it is important that the criticism never becomes personal, only helpful. Otherwise, individuals will just give up trying to improve (which they may see as simply 'pleasing you') and become undermining and subversive, which helps nobody. Be fair and be SEEN to be fair.

found out what motivates you. Find something you like to do and enjoy it.\n\nNow if you are talking about being lazy at work, think about your boss firing you for not doing your job.

Sounds like you need to find better people for your staff. You need to offer compensation attractive enough to get the right people. Figure out what those delays are costing you and tack on a good percentage of that value to what you offer potential employees.

I used to do the same thing , until an older employee said to me " You know who's fault it is, YOURS." I replied "your right and  I'm going to do something about it now."went out and took care of the problems with the employees and never complained again. As for being in the office with the boss, you have alot pull, that other people don't, because you got his ear all the time, you can plant ideas, good rule of thumb, don't push ideas, just suggest them, like i heard that company A lets their people off on this holiday, etc. and see what happens. most of the time you just have to plant the seed, by saying something and you can watch it grow. another thing you can say is "it seems awful cramped in here, think we could add on , so i could have more space for files, etc..  Always look at the positive side of your situation.

Show up prepared to remind others about your accomplishments.  If possible be ready to measure them with hard numbers (percentage efficiency improved, revenue earned, expenses cut, etc.)\n\nBe honest.  Try to be objective about your strengths as well as areas needing growth.  \n\nBe mature in your responses to criticism, don't overreact.  If you disagree with an assessment, say so but don't get emotional about it.\n\nAbove all, walk in with the attitude that you are a valuable asset to the Company.

I find it best to be very positive every minute of the day.  Sucking-up to the person who does the promoting also , sadly helps.  Don't gossip or listen to gossip.  Talk about events, places, things, but NEVER people. If you deal w/customers or clients, constantly go over & beyond the call of duty... it will get back to your supervisor.  Good Luck

There was a sociologist named Herzberg who did a big study on what works and what doesn't for motivating employees.  If you look him up online or at the library, I'm sure you'll find plenty of material for a great speech on motivation.

Good question.\nFirst, you need to see how big your organization is. \nIf it is made of 10-50 people, you can (with the help of one or two people) manage to conduct a Employee Betterment program. Well, give it a good name first "Employees are the Best" or something like that which would make them think posiitively first.\n\nNext, the program can be about how to think in different situations. For this you this. Edward D Bono's SIX THINKING HATS. It is a helpful program.\nNext introduce weekly "Employee of the Week" or "Star Worker". \n\nNext the best think to make them relax is, treat them all to a good movie. Take them with the companies money so that they dont have to buy tickets or anything.

I try to let them boss know I appreciate the guidance. If you're training, take notes and let her know you understand her point of veiw. Also, try not to take things personally if you're new. No one likes to be told they're doing something wrong, but try to be objective and not feel demoralized. You're not in grade school and you aren't going to get a sticker by your name if you do something right. You're expected to get things right and you have to motivate yourself.\n\nIf your job really sucks, look for another one. Just remember, there are none out there that don't come with problems. Also, get yourself in school if you aren't already, so you can do more than just scrape by in the future. The stress isn't half as bad if you know you'll be moving on to bigger and better things eventully.

You need to be attentive your staff.  If your asking this question then your really haven't been.  One week or two days a week, depending on the volume of your staff, sit with a person and see what they are lacking in.  At the same time note who has the same problems and with what so you can tackle group training in distinct areas.  You may have to clean house if you feel some of your staff are not suitable for the job.  You may also want to re-arrange seating.  This is a great tool that is underestimated because of our grade school days.  After your training you should scatter those who are trained in different aspects so they can relay it to others.  This is solid cross training and a great time advantage for you because you will not have to cradle your staff and you can also see the innovation on who is the next in line to lead.

I think it depends on what type of manager.  I'm in middle management and feel like I'm basically a glorified babysitter.  I have to make sure my staff is doing their jobs, getting results in a timely manner.  I have to reprimand them when they do wrong and give them kudos when they do good.

It's all about people.  Respect your staff and they'll respect you.  Always let your staff know where they stand with you.  When they do something wrong tell them.  When they do something right, tell them.  Communicate your expectations.  The more training you give the better.  Don't worry about them liking you.  If you're fair, firm and consistent, they'll respect you

The best way to make the work place a better one is to be nice to your coworkers.  You do not have to be their best friend, but you have to be there and get the job done.  You may find the a work day will go a lot quicker if you are a plesant and decent person.\n\nAre you doing something inapropriate that would make a fellow worker report it to a supervisor?  There should be no fear in anything you do at work if it is what you should be doing.  Do a good job and you may just get commended for doing that job well.  If you do well, the company does well, and if that is so, pay raises are also possible for a job well done.
