How to derive maximum potential from employees, while simultaneously maintaining a friendly workplace, and keeping colleagues happy.

1.
If
you
are
a
good
boss/CEO/leader,
then
concern
for
employees
should
be
one
of
the
most
common
things
that
keeps
you
up
at
night.
It’s
tough
because
it
has
to
do
with
people
–
coordina@ng,
teaching,
managing,
encouraging,
scolding,
caring
for
and
ul@mately
helping
a
diverse
group
of
people;
your
colleagues/staff/team.
Having
been
on
both
sides
of
the
table;
I’ve
had
my
fair
share
of
great
and
appalling
bosses,
and
now
being
a
leader
myself,
I
have
some
useful
and
prac@cal
@ps
for
you,
so
you
can
catch

Tip 2: Give Work Meaning
Tip 3: Create a Safe Space
Give
your
colleagues
a
sense
of
purpose
by
clarifying
the
importance
of
their
work
and
individual
contribu@ons.
If
they
find
meaning
in
work,
they
will
be
more
produc@ve
and
happier
to
reach
their
full
poten@al.
Make
your
mee@ngs
and
general
working
environment
safe
spaces
for
sharing
and
interac@ng.
Keep
in
mind
the
different
personality
types
of
your
team
members
and
how
important
it
is
for
all
to
be
heard.
Another
thing
to
note
is
that
people
come
from
different
backgrounds
and
cultures,
so
some
might
need
encouragement
to
speak
up.
Tip 4: Share Tools & Resources
Be
generous
with
tools
and
resources
that
will
help
your
colleagues
perform
beEer
and
improve
the
quality
of
their
work.
A
good
idea
is
to
create
a
repository
of
some
kind,
maybe
a
folder
or
an
album
or
web
"dump"
where
all
the
good
stuff
live.
And
when
in
doubt,
everyone
can
access
it
and
shine!
Tip 5: Acknowledge, Praise & Reward
Speak
praise
to
your
employees.
Let
them
know
you
no@ce
and
appreciate
their
efforts.
This
will
go
a
long
way
in
boos@ng
their
confidence
and
morale
levels,
and
also
inspire
them
to
be
beEer.
Take
@me
to
think
of
rewards
that
your
employees
actually
need,
not
just
random
giUs.
HR
could
help
with
this.
One
way
to
inspire
employees
in
their
roles
is
to
use
stories
in
the
form
of
your
own
experiences
or
from
other
past
successes
you
might
know.
This
will
help
to
create
a
picture
of
the
goal
you
intend
for
them,
which
will
stay
longer
in
their
memory
and
guide
them
when
working.
Be
sure
to
include
both
good
and
bad
points
for
them
to
takeaway
so
they
are
mindful
of
what
works
and
what
does
not.
