Productive Workers Are Happy Workers

Have you ever

• had a day where you worked hard all day - sweated blood - but achieved nothing? 
• worked really hard to finish a job, then had to undo it all or do it again because the boss or client wasn’t clear about what they wanted? 
• put everything into finishing a job only to be told that it didn’t have to be that good 
• put everything into finishing a job only to be told 'it’s STILL not good enough'? 

Then you know how demoralising and demotivating that can be!

Your first priority as a supervisor, manager, team leader is to get organised and talk to your people so that they can get on with the job with everything they need to get it done right, safely, first time, every time.

‘Everything’ includes all the information they need to be sure that they understand:

• what specifically they have to do, 
• how it fits with other priorities,
• when they need to have it done, 
• how to do it safely, and 
• how to tell when they’ve ‘finished’ or done ‘good enough’ 
• what to do if they strike a problem or get stuck. 

After all, if you're a supervisor, team leader or manager...
