Today’s business owners have it tough. Increased competition, controlling costs, and finding new customers has never been harder. How do you keep it together?
Most successful business owners know that hiring, keeping and motivating good staff is the key element to ensure your businesses prosperity and theirs. This sense of contribution is vital to the workplace. If employees feel they are not a part of the company then they become complicit in their work and attitudes. This complacency spreads like a virus and affects morale and productivity, and eventually profitability.
After being around many family and owner managed businesses, I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing some of the most dreadful phrases uttered in the workplace. These phrases drive employees to complacency and eventually out the door. If you ever get the urge to say these, take a step back and remember that you can’t do it alone and that you need good people around you.
5 Things Owners should never say in the Workplace
- This is my Company, if you don’t like it you know where the door is
- Remember who signs your Pay Cheque
- You should be happy to even have a job
- I don’t pay you to think
- I can find a replacement for you next week
‘Till next time
