Staff can have many feelings toward you as a manager.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Simultaneously.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
They can be mad at you for not giving them a requested day off.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
They can be frustrated, miffed, stressed because the schedule needed to be adjusted, or a new cross training program is being implemented.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
They can see you deal with a difficult customer and be inspired by you.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Or maybe in a moment they become indifferent to you or a little defensive around you because things are changing.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
All these emotions are fickle, and swirl with the moods of the day and vagaries of the times.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
There is one emotion however, that once felt, seems to anchor all the others.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Seems to act as filter and is referenced before action is taken.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This emotion has a strength, stability and weightiness to it.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This emotion is not quick to come and is proven under hard won circumstances. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It is the emotion of respect<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Staff can feel many things toward you, and they will, but if they respect you, your leadership is on firm ground and solid footing.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Staff want to respect their managers and leaders even more than wanting to like them.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n It’s close to a basic human need.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n They are dependent on us as managers to provide a workplace with good systems and structure implemented with fairness, accountability and consistency.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n To be brave in the face of what is not working and nurturing the heart of what is.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n We can’t mandate our staff to respect us, we can only show them that we are worthy.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Staff can have many feelings toward you as a manager.
