What Energizes Employees
"What
energizes people is
the broader horizon, the excitement of new challenges and big
opportunities. When their
leaders
offer this excitement, people come alive."
~ Ram Charan and Noel.
M. Tichy
The one-on-one relationships that individual
workers have with their managers, and the
trust, respect, and consideration that their managers show toward them
on a daily basis are also at the core of an energized workforce. "Getting
the best out of workers is above all a product of the "softer" side of
management – how individuals are treated,
→
inspired, and challenged to do their best work – and the support,
resources, and guidance that is provided by managers to help make
exceptional employee performance a reality."2

Treat People as the Most

Organizations that treat
people as their most valuable asset – instead of just saying it is so –
obtain impressive results and are more competitive precisely because of the
way they treat their people. Such companies are special places where
employees enjoy coming to work, morale is strong and productivity is even
stronger. In such companies, individuals bring their best thinking and ideas
to the workplace on a daily basis, do what needs to be done without being
told, and feel they have a significant impact in their jobs.2
