A business cannot make it without employees. However, so many times
management loses sight on the best way to lead them to have them be the
most productive. When this happens employees become disgruntled workers
often and the quality of the work delivered suffers. Now a manager can also
be a positive influence and lead his employees in a successful manner. It is
just how he approaches his job that will make the difference.
I used to have a manager that came to work unshaven and would shave in
his office. That gave us employees the impression that he was unprepared
for the day ahead. Not exactly the type of impression a manager should
give. You as the manager should show up prepared for the day in all ways
and enthusiastically.
If you are grumpy and grouchy your employees are liable to take on the
same attitude. This is not exactly a productive way to guide those under
you. It is best to be in a positive, pleasant mood as much as possible. Even
when you have to handle difficult situations you should do it in a dignified
manner.
No one feels comfortable at work if the management is blowing a fuse every
time things to do not go right. This can intimidate employees and make it

hard for them to feel like part of the team. Under these conditions the
employees find is difficult to work to potential. They become braced for the
next blowup. To learn more download our white paper, Secrets to Effective
Leadership.
If things are not going like they are supposed to as manager do not just
rake everyone over verbally. Ask questions and find out where the problems
are. Then work with your employees to find the right solutions. This makes
everyone feel included in the process.
When you learn to instill enthusiasm in your staff of people, you see such a
difference in productivity. This makes the employees fully engaged and can
deepen their commitment to their jobs. This will also keep from there being
such a turnover in employees too.
Workers who are happy in the jobs are much less likely to leave on their
own, even when other opportunities appear, than disgruntled ones. The
goal of any management should be to make the work environment pleasant
and productive. When this is done successfully everyone wants to be
involved with the various projects and duties done each day. Turnover of
employees can cost the company big time.
So yes management can affect the employees' productivity in either a
positive or negative manner. Which type of boss do you want to be? One

that encourages people to do their best, or one that discourages people from
caring? Hopefully, you want to be the first kind of boss. Remember to set a
good example for your employees on how they should handle their
workload. If you go about your day with enthusiasm it will rub off down the
line. When you do this the right way success will follow.
