Tips from Wednesday,
December 10, 2008
The Small Business tips today will be about being that
empowering leader.
- Provide
employees with the history behind procedures and policies. Background is
essential for good decision making.
- Provide
the necessary resources. Your list of contacts? Appropriate forms? Give
your employees the opportunity to succeed.
- Teach
employees what to do when they can’t solve a problem; going to the
president should not be the consistent solution.
- Learn
to delegate. This will build confidence and teach employees the necessary
steps to follow in your business.
Daily Overview: Be forthcoming with information and
resources. Teach problem-solving skills and allow them to take on other things.
