Managers of Choice
Posted by Tom Locke on August 21st, 2013 filed in Business, LifeOrganizations that are able to minimize employee turnover and create a productive environment are usually sensitive to the fact that people do not leave organizations … people leave people.
People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care. This caring is an attribute of ‘Managers of Choice’.
Genuine caring comes from good listening and often leads to likeability which many believe has value in the company or corporate culture.
By appealing to emotion and caring, ‘Managers of Choice’ create buy-in which leads to trust and ultimately, engagement and productivity.
‘Managers of Choice’ are the cornerstones of ‘Employers of Choice’.

HI Tom!
Thank you for this. I am a bargaining unit employee and the management team in my department is currently undergoing change. New managers,undermanned, and causing significant team member movement.
This article is helpful. “People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.” Beautifully stated for every employee of a company/owner, every doctor/patient, every teacher/student.
Sincerely,
