Buckingham and Coffman write on what great managers do differently when managing people to achieve great results and enjoyable work. The authors are based on their observations from more than 80,000 interviews conducted by Gallup organization during past years.
Nowadays, various studies mention job satisfaction is around 50% to lower values depending on jobs, locations, and other factors.
The most common, is that you get into a plain office with plain people, they might present a gloomy face every time stepping in office, show little patience communicating with each other or third parties, get into long conversations about their private life, ’seat – sleep’ when possible, chatting over phone or msn about cosmetics, make a happy fest when superiors are not in office, and check out the latest developments on the singer x who married the actress y along with an update on how bad their jobs and supervisors are.
This doesn’t mean they are not good professionals, hence means they have notably poor leaders.
Satisfied employees tend to be more productive, creative and committed to their employers. A quick look on Google exemplifies how attracting talent and having the freedom for creativity with orientation for results, can make a successful organization perform greatly with both happy employer and employees.
To conclude and add up the above mentioned, one great finding by Gallup organization published in Buckingham and Coffman book, says:
“If you’re losing good people, look to their immediate supervisor. People leave managers not companies”
