How The Best Leaders Encourage Employees to Persevere Through Failure?
I came across these statistics recently: SHRM reported 30% of employees feel that their managers provide sufficient feedback and encouragement. Gallup found that only about 21% of employees strongly agree that their performance is managed in a way that motivates them to do outstanding work. Mistakes and failures are inherent to every job. How a manager responds to it determines his/her effectiveness. What is your typical response when your team member commits a mistake? A - Do you provide appropriate feedback and encourage the team member to learn from the situation and move forward? Or B - Do you form a perception about the team member and avoid giving him/her important work? Or C - Do you step in and rectify the situation for the team member? After all, you want the issue to get resolved since you are responsible for the results. If your answer is A, well done. You are an effective Leader. If your answer is B, you are part of the majority who get influenced by unconscious biases
