This is a general article that i wanted to write from what i have noticed in my 3 year 3 month stint at 3 companies 2 of which were startups.
People are the most important assets of any organisation be it a Startup , Mid Sized or a Large company. If not respected or understood can lead to the failure of any established company.
I have had many of my coworkers leave their companies because of being undervalued at their organisations even though they gave it there best.
Here is the list:
- Value your employees , they can make or break you.
- Don’t ridicule your employees in front of coworkers it can have far reaching consequences.
- Praise them when they deserve it and also let them know their short comings.
- Be involved as managers and be a part of everything. Take your employees out for lunches , dinners be involved.
- Give them space let them explore what they want to do. Give them the freedom to experiment.
All the above are just my personal observations which i have had and in the end people don’t leave companies they leave their managers.
