Linked – The 3 Most Kind Things You Can Say with Someone

ByMike McBride August 20, 2024August 18, 2024 Reading Time: 1 minute

I don’t know if the article below was written about work, but it applies to work. As a leader, what are three things your people need to hear from you?

“I believe in you.”
“You make a difference.”
“I appreciate you.”

Yes, those are things we should tell our family and friends. They are also 100% the things we should tell employees. What makes a difference for employees other than pay? Knowing that the work they do is appreciated and makes a difference. How will they know if you don’t tell them? How will they know that you notice their effort if you don’t tell them you notice it?

Linked: These Simple Changes to Your Performance Reviews Will Make More Effective Employees
ByMike McBride November 28, 2020November 27, 2020 Reading Time: 1 minute

The whole article is full of good advice, if not advice that should be obvious, like this: “Rather than conducting employee performance reviews once or twice a year, tweak them so that they happen weekly or monthly, and so that they’re a more informal event. “ Unfortunately, even though it seems obvious that only offering…

Linked – Be Intentional About How You Spend Your Time Off
ByMike McBride June 3, 2023June 3, 2023 Reading Time: 2 minutes

Unfortunately, I do believe we are taught the opposite of this. We are expected to work harder and harder and then use our time off to rest so that we can go back and do it some more. It’s all focused on being a good worker, but this study seems to indicate that we are all better off focusing on other parts of our lives during the time we spend away from work. Maybe, just maybe, we are more than our jobs. Maybe when we spend the energy and focus on other parts of our lives enough to plan them out and be intentional about them, we’re happier.

What a concept.

The Mental Health Impacts of Being New to the Workplace
ByMike McBride September 15, 2023September 14, 2023 Reading Time: 2 minutes

There should be no question about how to access resources. There should be an expectation that there are people you can reach out to who would help you navigate those resources and that managers are supportive of basic mental health activities that help avoid burnout.

Anything less just isn’t good enough.

Linked: The Rise of the 9 p.m. Work Hour
ByMike McBride April 5, 2022April 5, 2022 Reading Time: 2 minutes

One of the bigger management issues surrounding the remote work model is how and when to communicate. I’m an advocate of more communication, always. I’m a huge advocate of a lot more communication with a remote team.

But, we also have to think about the best way to work together. There are lots, and lots, of meetings that are designed to create better communication but aren’t necessary. Most of them are recurring meetings that no one ever cancels, even when there’s nothing urgent to discuss. Just because we’ve always had this meeting, and we always will.

That’s not a good reason to meet. At the end of the day, if your check-ins or project status meetings are nothing more than a “here’s where we are this week,” we might consider whether it makes more sense for people to send an email instead. Or even a Teams/Slack chat? It’s the same information, but no one has to plan their day around it.
