People get better with a good leader

Leadership is super important for a thriving workplace. Don Huse of Venturion in San Antonio recently blogs about the issue.

Gone are the days when the workplace is a dredge. These days company loyalty is low, this is a leadership problem. Employees move around until they find job satisfaction. This entails not only using their skills, but allowing the follower to grow in their skills. This is an aspect of thriving. Common sense says that a person with skill motivation will grow and work better than the unmotivated in a sterile company. This is studied in the "Culture Era" of leadership according to Seters and Field in the "The Evolution of Leadership Theory." The company culture creates a work force that grows in their skills AND become more self-accountable and responsible. The employee begins to lead others and self. Imagine a consturction site in which the foreman does not worry about the work ethic of the laborers. How much work will the foreman be able to accomplish without constantly worrying and checking up on followers?
