STOP Blaming Employees

CONSIDER HOW YOU MANAGE THEM! MANY TIMES YOU ARE GETTING WHAT YOU DESERVE!!!

I was reading in the newspaper about a State House Leader saying "we need to get people to work harder to change."  I can imagine that seems like something frustrated leaders could say - I have heard Business Owners say the same thing about employees.  As if it were only "the people." Think about this from a different perspective. There is most likely a "process or system" somewhere in the organization that has to change first.  When we fail to achieve the desired results, it is easy to blame others.  However, it just may be the process or system does not allow people to succeed and working them harder only contributes to their frustrations.  If you have, good employees let them change the processes to improve the work, communication, planning and results.  Supporting and reinforcing these concepts are essential to improving results. I know it may seem easier to blame others versus changing your approach to dealing with the problem (i.e. Hiring System, Communication System, Pay System, Feedback System, Performance Evaluation System, Operating Systems and Advancement Systems. Nevertheless, with the limited number of talented folks on the market - well there are only so many people to blame before someone higher blames you. – Bill Maloney

These are my thoughts; you may have your own, if so give me your thoughts.
