Companies work hard to create loyalty with the people that work for them. That loyalty is most often based on the relationship between their employees and their supervisors.
· People stay or quit supervisors, not companies.
Our life’s journey is really about the people who touch us, and a large part of that journey is a person’s job. Ask anyone if they like their job, and they’ll usually say ‘yes’ if they like their supervisor. The best supervisors practice trust, respect, good communications, a steady approach, and an interest in helping people to be their best. Make sure your supervisors understand that and are skilled in the soft skills that support loyalty. Skills like effective communications, coaching, handling difficult conversations, emotional intelligence, servant leadership, and catching people doing things right. Begin to build loyalty with your people the day they start work and continue supporting it every day thereafter. Think back the best bosses you’ve had and be more like them than the ones you didn’t like, trust, or respect. Be the kind of boss that promotes loyalty today.
