people are achieving, and build an infrastructure that rewards
mastery. The best way to keep the most talented people is to allow
their jobs to change with them. Sometimes, reducing their
responsibilities will give them the space to tackle new
opportunities and to expand – and your business will expand too...

Brian Tracy |
-
Keep people in the know.
Transformational leaders
empower others
by keeping them "in the know," by keeping them fully informed on
everything that effects their jobs. People want and need to feel
that they are “insiders,” that they are aware of everything that
is going on. There is nothing so demoralizing to a staff member
than to be kept in the dark about their work and what is going
on in the company...

Case in Point
GE
Jack Welch's goal was to make GE "the world's most competitive
enterprise." "We now know where
productivity – real and limitless productivity – comes from. It comes
from challenged, empowered, excited, rewarded teams of people," he
said. Welch knew that the current business environment requires an energized,
energizing leader: "You've got to be live action all day. And you've got to
be able to
energize others. Your cannot be this thoughtful, in-the-corner-office
guru. You cannot be a moderate, balanced, thoughtful, careful articulator of
policy. You've got to be on the lunatic fringe."7
Coaching
Coaching
brings more humanity into the workplace. "Effective coaching in the
workplace delivers achievement, fulfillment and joy from which both the
individual and organization benefit."7
Achievement means "the delivery extraordinary results,
organizational and individual goals achieved, strategies, project and plans
executed. It suggests effectiveness,
creativity, and
innovation. Effective coaching delivers
achievement, which is sustainable. Because of the emphasis on learning
and because the confidence of the player (the coachee) is enhanced ('I
worked it out for myself!') the increase in performance
is typically sustained for a longer period and will impact on areas that
were not directly the subject of coaching."7...

Energizing Employees
"What
energizes people is
the broader horizon, the excitement of new challenges and big
opportunities. When their leaders offer this excitement, people come
alive."5
The one-on-one relationships that individual workers have
with their managers, and the
trust, respect, and
consideration that their managers show toward them on a daily basis are also
at the core of an energized workforce. "Getting the best out of workers is
above all a product of the "softer" side of management – how individuals are
treated,
inspired, and challenged to do their best work
– and the support,
resources, and guidance that is provided by managers to help make
exceptional employee performance a reality."6...
