The date is 02.01.2023.
Be honest, are you still sticking to your resolutions on the second day of the year? And what about week 2? And how many of you will have thrown everything overboard by week 4?
A Tyrolean proverb says "Aufgeben toama an Briaf." - in German "Nur ein Brief wird aufgegeben." or "We don't give up."
Unfortunately, this feeling & the corresponding commitment is not conveyed and lived by many managers.
Example: Manager A makes a decision. The next day, manager A revises it. And then everything is different again.
One way today, another the day after tomorrow and the other way round in 2 weeks.
And then managers are surprised that their employees leave?
Show your employees that you are a trustworthy person.
A role model that your employees will be happy to take a leaf out of their book.
A person who tries out new approaches and wants to move forward with his team.
*How can you be a role model?
*What are your employees looking at?
*What is important to your employees?
The MOST IMPORTANT:
-> BE YOURSELF. With all the rough edges, good and bad days.
Be open with your employees and take care of what your employees want. And let them know what your expectations are. That is MORE than half the battle. This will completely set you apart from the rest of the managers.
The new year is a good time to make a fresh start. Even if your resolutions in recent years may not have turned out the way you imagined. There is always the possibility that it will work this year.
DOING is the decisive factor.
Conclusion: goals and resolutions already overboard?
REMEMBER: "Give up toama an Briaf." (We only give up a letter.) ... persevere, look for solutions and/or ask a trusted person for support. Every path is individual, and so is the solution.
Have a good start.
Yours sincerely
