Direction or Leadership?

Written By Mark Nitz

What happens when managers, directors, supervisors don't have a full understanding of the value of the Personhood of each member of their team? What happens when "productivity" is used as a lever? What happens when business is NOT Personal?
1. Teams shut down - not only do they lose confidence, they sense danger. There can be no loyalty to danger and the team atmosphere will disintegrate.
2. Interpersonal communication shuts down - team members stop talking because they know their opinion won't be given value and their autonomy is at risk.
3. Team Members conclude that Corporate Values are for the external consumer, not the employees - when Values aren't walked, business fails because there is no Trust.

What enables productivity? Trust, Loyalty, and Values. It's what you as a Managing Leader show to your people, not what you expect of them. Business is always Personal.

How do we grow and build Trust, Loyalty, and Values? I'll be glad to help. Feel free to reach out directly with an InMail message.
