How to be a good boss (that people actually want to work for)

How to be a good boss (that people actually want to work for)How to be a good boss (that people actually want to work for)I will never forget the first time an employee told me she was resigning.Our team meeting finished and she asked for a few moments of my time. She announced she had a new job, and I was shocked. Nothing I asked or said changed herbei mind. Watching her walk out of my office, I realized I had failed her s of questions includeWhy do you do this job?What do you aspire to?How do you like to be recognized?What are the strengths/weaknesses of the department?What difficult questions do you have for me?Through these conversations, I have learned what motivates employees, the career ambitions they may not have said out loud yet, and how we can improve our organization.The best bosses provide opportunities for growthStay conversations are vital however, theyre only the first step. You have to then provide the training and chances for your employee to develop and achieve the ir goals.This may include informational meetings with managers in other departments, formal mentoring, leadership development classes, or professional conferences. It could mean creating or re-envisioning a project that will hilfe the organizational goals and align with the individuals strengths. It can also be as simple as a dedicated time outside of an update meeting where they can ask you questions about handling different work situations.Not every one of your staff members will know what they want to do next or what skills they need to acquire. Work together with your employees to identify areas for growth and provide engaging projects.The best bosses maintain high standardsAs leaders, its important to set high standards - as well as to be prepared to help your staff meet and exceed them. Tell your employees that you have their back and you believe in them. If you expect a lot of others and coach them, you will motivate them to achieve what they previously didnt think was possi ble. This is where the magic happens.Dont be afraid to challenge your employees. Do make koranvers they have the skills and environment they need to be successful.I learned the hard way that I need to specifically tell employees I want them to be their best selves - not me. Remember, high standards should not be code for do it my way. Rather, its about your employees developing their unique skills to build the efforts of the team and the organization.The best bosses champion their employees (wherever they are)Sydney Finkelstein, the author of Superbosses and Dartmouth business school professor, says that managers should focus on developing high potential employees by helping them be the best versions of themselves and leveraging their skills - without retention being the focus. He asserts that by supporting and challenging employees, you will retain them even longer, even though that isnt the primary goal.Even with this in mind, at some point, your employee may outgrow your team - no matter how much effort you both put into making their role valuable. At that time, it should not be a surprise when they say they plan to leave. Great bosses understand this and dont try to hang onto people or hold them back.I have passing thoughts about the employee who resigned unexpectedly all those years ago. I wish her success and happiness wherever she is. What I have learned since then helps me stay focused on my role as a manager and teach others what I have learned along the way. As I have continued to learn and grow as a manager, I have seen the effects of supporting employees ambitions. One more recent departing employee sent me a note, Your grace maintains even after I go through another door. Will always be grateful for that.We never know what doors will open and when we will cross paths again. We should treat employees with the same kindness and support as we did when they entered our organization.This article first appeared on Career Contessa.

7 ways to not feel so overwhelmed all the time

7 ways to not feel so overwhelmed all the time7 ways to not feel so overwhelmed all the timeFeeling overwhelmed? Are you constantly running from thing to thing but never getting it all done?When researchers survey people, they say theyre too busy - about everything.Too busy to make friends, date, sleep, have sex, to go on vacation or to even have lunch.Via Overwhelmed Work, Love, and Play When No One Has the TimeIn surveys, people say theyre too busy to make friends outside the office, too busy to date, too busy to sleep, and too busy to have sex. Eight in ten Britons report being too busy to eat dessert, even though four in ten say dessert is better than sex. Were in such a rush that the typical sound bite for a presidential candidate has been compressed from forty seconds in 1968 to 7.3 seconds in 2000. Remember those unused vacation days? People say theyre too busy to take a vacation and too busy for a lunch break.The average high school kid today experiences the saatkorn level o f anxiety as the average psychiatric patient of the 1950s.And being this busy isnt healthy - in fact, neuroscientists have found it shrinks your brain.ViaOverwhelmed Work, Love, and Play When No One Has the Timethe prefrontal cortex. It is the key to human intelligence. In its size and complexity, it is, in short, what distinguishes humans from animals and makes us who we are. And, Ansell says, what she and other neuroscientists are finding is that when a human feels pressed for time, rushed and caught up in the overwhelm, that yellow blob does something alarming It shrinks.How did we get here?

Everybody, he says, has more time for leisure.So why do we feel like were overwhelmed even though were not? Partly, its because our time is so fragmented.Switching between checking email, making dinner, watching TV and finishing that report is more mentally draining than doing one at a time.ViaOverwhelmed Work, Love, and Play When No One Has the TimeIts role overload, she explains. Its the constant switching from one role to the next that creates that feeling of time pressure. When all youre expected to do is work all day, you work all day in one long stretch, she says. But the days of the mothers she studied were full of starts and stops, which makes time feel more collapsed.Multitasking is killing us.And the best part?Multitasking doesnt even work.

Driving while talking on the cell phone slows reaction times and awareness to the same degree that driving over the legal alcohol limit does.

When you have a fun thing to accomplish, you can singletask on relaxing.ViaOverwhelmed Work, Love, and Play When No One Has the TimeRoger Mannell, a psychologist at the University of Waterloo in Ontario, has directed perhaps the only lab studies of leisure time. His research has found that when people have a sense of choice and control over what they do with their free time, they are more likely to get into flow, that engrossing and timeless state that some call peak human experience. Part of the harte nuss with leisure is that people arent quite sure what they real ly want. They dont know what leisure time is for them, Mannell said. And they never slow down long enough to figure it out.More on how to make your free time more awesome here.Sum upJust because the other people at the office are overscheduled and the other parents are doing 1000 things doesnt mean you need to.We all only have 1440 minutes a day.

The Importance of Flexibility at Work

The Importance of Flexibility at WorkThe Importance of Flexibility at WorkWhat does workplace flexibility mean and why is it important? Flexibility on the job includes the willingness and ability to readily respond to changing circumstances and expectations. Being flexible when it comes to work is worth a lot. Employees who approach their job with aflexible mindsetare typically mora highly valued by employers.? Why Employers Value Flexible Employees Essentially, flexible employees are more valuable. Workers with an orientation towards flexibility never say, Its not my job or Do I have to? when they are asked to take on a new assignment.Flexible employees modify their approach to tasks based on the preferences of stakeholders and the unique demands of each situation. Having employees willing to step outside their job descriptionmeans employers can get more accomplished. Flexible workers who are able to take on more responsibilities, do different tasks, and do more at work have mor e to offer their employer than employees who can only do one or two tasks. Having flexible employees means not having to find others to take on more work because flexible employees are willing to do whatever is necessary to get the task accomplished or the job done. Why Employees Value Flexible Managers Flexibility works both ways, and employees appreciate having managers who are flexible. Flexibility skills are also relevant to the approach management takes to handling employees.Flexible managers treat employees as individuals and make an effort to accommodate personal styles and needs. Managers who are flexible provide workers with greater latitude about the way they accomplish goals. They assess the needs of employees and provide feedback, guidance, and recognition individually to optimize performance. Being flexible is good for everyone. Share Examples During Job Interviews Flexibility is a trait most employers look for in an employee so regardless of what type of job yo u are applying for, it will benefit your candidacy if you can show the interviewer examples of how you are flexible and willing to change course.

Breaking the Rules to Find Your Perfect Job

Breaking the Rules to Find Your Perfect Job In your career, things dont always work out the way you plan them to.I first learned this lesson myself in college. I went to one of those fancy private schools to study computer engineering in the late 90s. I knew that an investment in such a degree would guarantee me a job and not just any job, but a great-paying job when I graduated.I couldnt have been more wrong. The dot-com crash came along right in the middle of my studies, putting a haltestelle on hiring in the industry. Even the recruiters whonormally came to our school to scout outstudents canceled their visits. It was a situation Id never seen before and couldnt have predicted.This experience took me down the path of finding my transferrable skills and learning about new careers. I also learned how to interview for all sorts of jobs in many different industries and I got overmy fear of reaching out to strangers. This was a skill set I developed out of survival I needed to pay the rent.I know it sounds strange, but when you learn to approach job interviews from a different angle, they become less scary and much more interesting. I looked at (and continue to look at) interviewing as a chance to make new professional contacts and learn about new jobs. I see interviews as networking meetings, not as opportunities to be rejected by strangers.Another benefit of this new skill set and outlook is I no longer care as much if I meet every little minimum requirement listed in a job description. You know why? Because, truth be told, many employers dont really care if you do. If an employer brings you in for an interview, its because they think you can do the job. Why not submit your application and let them decide?If we could all spend a little less time worrying about being the perfect candidate and a little more time just being the best candidates we can be, wed all go a little further, faster. When I learned this lesson, my own car eer path changed dramatically. I went from being an engineer to a project manager, and then from a project manager to a digital marketing executive. Now, Im a career coach. I could have never guessed in the 90s that my career path would have been so winding.I was recently invited to share my story of career success at a TEDx talk. My talk, titled How I broke the rules and found my perfect job, shares my story of not waiting for permission and a little obsession I developed along the way. You may have already noticed It turns out, I really like interviewing.I invite you check out my TEDx talk below.Its my hope that you will be inspired to bend the rules in your own search, so you, too, can find your perfect job.A version of this article originally appeared in theMemphis Daily News.Angela Copeland is a career coach and CEO at her firm,Copeland Coaching.
