@Laurie

I am going to be offering a webinar in 2010 called “How to legally smack the shit out of your employees when they piss you off.” I’d like to hire you as my vlog promoter, ‘kay?

@laurie Yes! Training and empowering managers to punch those irritations in the face is often the answer. Other times the managers themselves need a good punch in the face.

@tlcolson So true. I was reading some posts over at ERE (I think) about how turnover is 100% due to poor hiring. Well, yes and no. I used to joke that if employees were leaving due to poor lighting conditions, you had two choices. You could either get new lightbulbs or you could hire people that like to work in the dark! Either way — Know thy irritations.

Those irritants are truly what drives the employees out the door. I think many times we call this “lack of cultural fit”, when in truth they are “bad mangers” or “lack of communication”

We all have pressures in today’s workplace, but as senior leadership, we have to recognize when the valve needs to be released.
