Plant the Seeds & Watch Them Grow by Kellie Napper

Leadership isn’t just about giving orders. It’s also about empowering others. Leaders have the power to set employees up for success. Success is not the success of the company or the organization, success is the growth of the individuals that make up the company or organization. To set employees up for success the following should be put in place.

Opportunity for growth and advancement. One person should not hold the key to all the information. Knowledge is power. If something were to happen to the one with the key the entire organization will fail.

To prevent this incorporate mentoring and delegate. Mentoring is a great way to empower staff so that they feel like they belong. Without staff no one person can be in all positions of an organization.

Once that staff is mentored, delegate different task for them to complete. This will make them feel empowered and included. Tools is the second vital peace that is needed for employee success. Without the proper tools in place, it would only make both your job and their work more challenging. When I speak of tools, I am referring to training, resources, and materials. It is hard to be successful if you are not equipped with the proper tools. Tools are like the foundation of any business that provides the platform for success.

Finally, acknowledgement. Why not! Why not acknowledge those who make the organization look good! Success looks good on you and success looks good on them. This is a great morale booster. It’s the little things that count. To put in long hours, attend multiple zoom meetings, deal with the public and still get the job done only to never be recognized, could run away some of your best employees. Get to know the individuals you work with and put incentives in place such as gift cards, days off, bring your child to work day, self-care Fridays, and bonus bucks just to name a few. This will not only help to retain your employees but will grow your staff mentally, intrinsically, and they will feel self-fulfilled.
