As a manager, you need to create optimal performance from everyone in your organization.
In our last post, we learned that quality relationships between managers and people leads to higher employee engagement and increased performance. We also learned that career development is the key to building these quality relationships between managers and their people.
Coaching and mentoring builds quality relationships and allows employees to meet the challenges of their work today while charting their future path. Millennials, in particular, need to know they are growing in their role, to be satisfied and engaged with their work. Career development activities do just that.
The goal of all this is to move people into the Nexus: the place where company business goals and people’s passion meet for optimal performance.
Here are three tips for moving people to the Nexus:
- As an employee, be specific when communicating your vision.
- As a manager, strengthen your coaching muscle.
- People don’t learn from challenging assignments, they learn by reflecting on their experience.
KEY TAKEAWAY: When employees and managers work together on career development, everyone at the organization benefits.
In our next post, we will take a deeper dive into these three tips so you can learn how to easily apply them at work.
