[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have your back, you have my back

I roll up my sleeves, no task is too small and no title will prevent me from helping out during crunch time

I don't monitor or babysit, if I get wind of someone not performing (which I have in the past) I re-train and spend time with the individual to feel out what the disconnect/issue is

LISTEN more than I talk

Award high performers beyond the annual review cycle

Weekly one on one's are scheduled as a placeholder but if we have nothing to talk about, it gets canceled why force it?

You sound like a bad leader to some people according to Leadership Challenge training I received. I say that as you are prescribing your core value system to others. What you described may be perfect some people if their core value system aligns your core value system. Plus you are mixing in a God complex. Like the new mother in law going into kitchen at first Thanksgiving dinner to roll up her sleeves and show that new daughter in law the right way to cook.

Your approach will work for most. But it is missing looking at the total person, when you ask how are you it should be a deep meaningful conversation. You are just focused work, divorce, death, illness, financial troubles are often root causes of poor performance. Roll up your sleeves is not right approach for an employee whose real issue is problems at home that need your emotional support.
