You can’t manage by standing around

The purpose of this book is to help managers and supervisors exploit team-building skills and find constructive methods for improving productivity. We all know that employees can leave at any time for any reason. But the reason for leaving should never be “poor supervision. ” Poor supervision is one of the major causes of job dissatisfaction. It should not be surprising that good employees will seek better opportunities elsewhere, where leadership is stronger. Think of employees as “seeds.” Managers and supervisors must learn to put these “seeds” in a nurturing environment, always adding lots of encouragement (water) and incentives (fertilizer). Then they can stand back and watch these “seeds” grow.
