Doing This One Thing Can Devastate Your Employee Morale…

Often times, we get promoted to a managerial role without really getting trained in how to manage people.

You might be good at your job, but when it comes to managing other people it can involve a completely different skill set than what you’re good at.

CEO of Whole Foods, John Mackey, shares this interesting insight to preserve employee morale:

When he visits a store, he gives nothing but compliments and praise to his employees.

If he spots something wrong or needs fixing, he lets a manager know instead of criticising right then and there.

While executives have to manage and critique, he makes an interesting point in how people receive criticisms, it’s better to build and have trust before you criticise.

As a CEO who employees may rarely see in person, he realises he doesn’t have their trust just yet.

Something to keep in mind.
