Your efforts as a leader should make your employees feel good about how they contribute to your company’s goals and objectives. The messages here these last 4 days are all about creating a culture of excellence that does that, and the roles you and your employees play in developing and supporting it. Your job is to provide clear visioning, messaging, and planning, and to manage a disciplined implementation of effective communications and recognition programs. Employees provide feedback and engage in continuous improvement. Don’t leave this to chance – employee surveys can measure the perceived effectiveness of management and its policies, programs, and activities. And don’t be afraid of what you might find – the facts are always friendly, especially when you take the time to analyze them objectively and use the results to fine tune (or fix) what you do. Employees like being asked and appreciate it when management listens and responds. These are the kinds of collaborative efforts that create a culture of excellence. That makes employees feel good. Make that your vision and mission today.
