5 things you're doing as a leader that irritate your employees

Let’s be frank here. There’s a high probability that you are doing many things that are pissing off your employees. After witnessing these common themes day in and day out with both clients and company sponsors, I felt the urge to share the top ones with you. 

❌ #1) Not growing & developing your employees. 

❌ #2) Not acknowledging your employees to help them feel heard and valued. 

❌ #3) Expecting your employees to take initiative and drive initiatives without giving them authority or support. 

❌ #4) Not providing your employees with the tools, resources, or support they need. 

❌ #5) Running off of “urgent” fire drills most of the time. 

How often are you doing any of these? Do you recognize how it’s affecting your team and others? Are you willing to survey your team to find out how they feel? Are you willing to develop your skills as a leader? What’s the benefit of doing any of these? What’s the cost? What if you had negative consequences for poor leadership or turnover?
