To measure engagement, we look at three elements: say, stay and strive. Employees are engaged when they:

Speak positively about the organization to coworkers, potential employees and customers, Have an intense desire to be a member of the organization, and Exert extra effort and are dedicated to doing the very best job possible to contribute to the organization's business success.

ACCEPTING SUBORDINATES DIVERSITY RESPONDING TO THAT DIVERSITY MANAGING THE PROBLEM SUBORDINATE DELEGATION AND CONTROL

Learn your Strong Performers It might take months to know everyones strength and weakness People are different, but when you get there, you say, Wow, how could this be? Dont assume yourself as the model Dont try to turn them into clones of yourself. What makes them tick, what turns them off To treat people fairly is to treat them differently.

Different approaches and skills for handling relationships with different kinds of people. Establish principles on what you expect from them and what they can expect from you. Make these expectations more specific and concrete Respond differently to less experienced , more experienced, and problem subordinates.

Less experienced subordinate depend on you as much as you on them Younger people need your support, guidance and training They expect you to prepare them for this job and their next job opportunity They are self-starters and want to own their territory, and to walk on their own two feet. They are ready for the responsibility.

Support them but dont impose (likely a motherly attitude). Smart people will give the job back to you Make them a part of solution, not the problem Help them in fixing the problem by helping them with the thought process.

More experienced subordinates will challenge your authority and question your decision But they are more likely to volunteer suggestions. They say- Do not over-manage me, accept my opinion, hear my strategy Of course, not all the experienced subordinates are competent and committed adapt your style Adopt a less directly approach and ask for their input

Paradox of over-managing and neglecting Recognize their achievement Be helpful and supportive, assisting them when you can Monitoring only to the extent that they dont go off the direction Remember- they are not looking for guidance, they want cooperation. Arrange for developmental opportunity e.g. training, opportunity to mentor others

Sometimes few subordinates lack ability and motivation Learn how to diagnose performance problems, give feedback to problem employees Manage your own emotion. Set up parameter and timeframe Provide negative feedback when necessary Discipline and punish if required

Learn what it meant to be a manager of people, not the task Delegation- too little to too much (without any direction) Insecurity of sharing or reducing the power, placing your destiny in others hand

Take calculated risks on whom you trust Whom can you trust? Three criteria test competence, personal integrity, and motivation to assume greater responsibility Less delegation will demand more managers time You can get assistance from the experienced subordinate Be sure what to delegate to whom and when to follow up or intervene.
