According to Executive Leadership, a newsletter from the National Institute of Business Management, the five biggest complaints employees have about their bosses are:
1. Threats
They don’t like to work in an environment of fear. They say they’d rather be told that they are making mistakes and given the chance to correct them than live with the idea that they could be fired “out of the blue.”
2. Inconsistency
They are happy to follow your vision. Just tell them what it is, and don’t change it every time the wind blows in a different direction.
3. Wasting their time
Making them wait for meetings. Preaching to them when they already know the gospel. Asking them to do jobs that aren’t necessary. Employees don’t like it when you waste their time.
4. Micromanaging them
Tell them what they need to accomplish. Give them the tools they need to get the job done right. Set standards and review them. But don’t require them to check in with you every step of the way.
5. Hypocrisy
What’s good for the goose is good for the gander. Don’t expect them to do anything you are not doing yourself.
