Likewise, there are few things as important to employee morale and motivation as knowing you are concerned about their future.

As a business coach for my employee team, here is my checklist for their development:

Identify and build each strength

Don’t worry about weaknesses… make them irrelevant.

Trust and act on your instincts

They usually will not be far off the mark.

Take educated risks

and learn to make tough decisions with imperfect knowledge.  Mistakes can be corrected.

Act with speed

… don’t procrastinate required decisions and actions.  It is more difficult to correct inaction than mistakes.

Don’t fear mistakes

Learn and practice the art of persuasion

Persuasion is not selling.

Always be open to new ideas and sharing your ideas and knowledge

with other employees and customers.

Good communications depends on good listening

And effective presentation always makes a big difference.

Learn and practice leadership skills

Even followers improve by understanding leadership skills.

Always own and be accountable

for your actions.

The bottom line

As a coach and mentor, I have found the carrot is much more effective than the stick.

Prompt feedback is always required.
