Business Coaching Training Tip - Management Must Stop Enabling Poor Performance

Written by admin on Monday, April 26th, 2010

For executives and owners, business coaching training can lead to uncovering issues that are keeping the business owner from creating the results they want to. One of these areas that have a huge effect on the business is in employee relations and motivation. Management needs to understand how motivation and empowerment plays an important role in improving employee performance, thus increasing the bottom line. Read on for the article that talks about how to improve the employee performance by changing the way management motivates their employees.

From the goal to increase sales to improve organizational performance, there are many obstacles. One of the more frequent, but less discussed is managers, small business owners or C-Level executives who enable poor performance.

During the last couple of weeks, I have had the opportunity to speak with several individuals who are all facing this unspoken challenge. These individuals want to blame a lack of work ethics for employees who fail to do what they need to do. Yet, in many cases, these behaviors are repetitive on the part of the employees. Repetitive behavior suggests poor management and poor executive leadership.

These business leaders believe that they are caught between a rock and a hard place. With help being hard to find, they accept unacceptable behaviors and then employees being only human take this acceptance as approval.

Human beings quickly learn to model the behavior that they see. Also, as employees, they are prisoners (25% of those who only came for the paycheck), vacationers (50% of those who are here and just do only what I need to do unless asked) and explorers (25% of those do their job and ask for more). Given that 75% of your employees can be quickly enabled because of their pre-existing attitudes suggests that this is one behavior your management team does not want to embrace.

Enabling is one business management behavior that not only affects the employee being enabled, but more importantly for those other employees who are doing their jobs. As the old adage goes one rotten apple spoils the barrel is also true with the rotten behavior of one employee spoiling the organizational culture or climate.

Small business owners to C-Level executives must remember that first and foremost they are the bosses. When they abdicate that role, chaos reigns. Then profitability and productivity suffer dramatic declines. Now is the time to take action to ensure that by enabling your employees, you are not setting future expectations of less than appropriate behavior.
