Credit
We all remember the pains we took over
reports, draft letters, sales reviews for the Boss…. only to have them disappear
into the abyss! Such bosses would have gone further had they given credit for
their juniors' efforts/ achievements. It is
heartbreaking to lose credit which is rightfully yours.. so take care, now that
you have subordinates of your own!
A smile and a “Thanks!” can do wonders for morale.
Recognition, for
which an employee has so assiduously worked, must be
forthcoming. Expectation of
receiving it is nothing to be ashamed about … in fact, its enlightened behavior!
Moreover, tell everyone, about the
progress Young so-and-so is making. He'll get to know of it, and you'll be known
as a boss who gives credit to staff, a fact management will record. The
spin-off: others in your office will be in friendly competition for the next
‘stroke' Credit should go to all staff, however lowly their status at
office… joint effort
produces winning teams.
QUESTIONS :
- Why is it important credit where it is due, for a boss?
- A boss who does not give credit to his staff, or one who takes them
for granted is doing his own prospects great harm. Elucidate.
