Stop Blaming Your Employees
Stop blaming your employees. Maybe he's not following through on his commitments. She's not communicating enough. He's always so negative. She's not meeting her sales targets. You can complain all you want about them, but what are you doing about you?
Stop blaming your employees - here's why:
You hired them. If you don't feel like you've got the right team around you, you can spend your time complaining, or you can take a look at your hiring process. How can you dramatically improve your ability to find and hire A-players?
You inspire them. If you're not happy with the performance of your team, again, you could spend your time complaining, or you can ask yourself if you've communicated a vision that inspires them. You can ask yourself if your coaching inspires them.
You decide when to retire them. Would they be better off in a different role? Would they be better off in a different company?
You're the leader. You hire them, you inspire them, and you decide if the time is right to retire them. So stop blaming your employees and take responsibility for becoming a better leader.
