The New Work Ethic
The workplace is changing. Your team is increasingly interested in personal success, fulfillment and enjoyment of their role in your organization and less interested in the greater good of the organization as a whole. Unless you engage workers in your business objectives and make those objectives relevant to each member of the team you may lose your best employees after just a few years.
So, how do you challenge and engage your team? How do you provide a work environment that encourages creativity and energy? The traditional “command and control” method of management is dying. Rather than giving direction and managing tasks, managers today are successful when they encourage collaboration and friendly dialogue around the objectives and goals of the organization.
Of course, before you can expect your team to freely share opinions and creative ideas you must build a welcoming and friendly atmosphere in your workplace. In fact, in today’s environment gaining the trust of your team is vital. As a manager, one of the best ways to do this is through casual work activities.
In a relaxed setting, managers and team members learn about each other outside of the structure of management. By having fun together, coworkers learn about the character and motivations of their peers and build loyalties that help them achieve as a group.
