Are You Poisoning your Employees and shooting yourself in the foot?
Poisoning an employee? What does that mean? I’ve never hurt anyone anytime in my life! Deliberately yes – likely what you think is the case may not be true! Why? Because poisoning an employee means you’ve removed one or more employee’s sense of empowerment and ability to positively impact the efficiencies/effectiveness of what they do for the company!
What is the typical result of “POISONING AN EMPLOYEE”? Two possible results – there may be many more: 1) they quit and you’re left in the cold having to replace them quickly as their loyalty to the company is no longer there or 2) worse yet – they stay with the company but they’re there only physically – they no longer care and do “just enough work” with less energy and drive than they had before you poisoned them.
