“You can’t train 100%, 100% of the time.” This is one of my own quotes that I strongly believe in and I took it from time spent in my sporting career. This quote also applies to business and how I think you should be treating your team. What I mean by this is if you push your staff members too hard, you will get the opposite result of what you wanted. It’s easy to take for granted what your employees do for you and your business so showing appreciation goes a long way. I like to create what I call a ‘done time’, where you and your team might finish a little earlier in the day as a reward for the hard work they have completed throughout the day. This token of gratitude has a major effect on your employee’s work, especially if they don’t expect it. Nurturing mental health and looking after our wellbeing has become a huge part of modern-day life. This applies to when we are at work as well. Neglecting this and letting stress consume people, not only feels awful but will hit your business hard in ways you might not expect. Is there anything you can do to improve your team’s attitude to work? Tune into this episode today if you want to get more from your team.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Pushing your employee or team too far can have the opposite effect that you desire. Are you doing anything to your team to make them more stressed out? Ask yourself this question and look at what you can do to reduce stress levels for people. Think about the language you are using towards your team. Language is extremely important. Consider that how you say something might not be how it’s received.   VALUABLE RESOURCES Leadership Revealed Podcast John Paul Business Coaching   ABOUT THE HOST John has several Estate and Letting Agencies in the North East of England.
