Dear John,
I recently read about companies installing “tattletale” software on the computers of their remote workers. The software actually tracks the work the employee is doing. One software even takes a picture every 60 seconds to verify the employee is sitting in front of the computer!
Here is a question: If you treat people like 5 year olds, will they act like 5 year olds?
Ronald Reagan famously said “Trust but verify.”
A thought for you.
Old school managers trust but verify the output.
Coach Leaders trust but verify the outcome.
Do you see the difference? I hope so because Top Performers seek out Coach Leaders and Coach Leaders attract, develop, and keep Top Performers.
Choose To Win!
Tom
P.s. I have a new book coming out soon that details the massive disruption the business world is going through and how to thrive when everyone else is struggling. Check it out here: www.10LeadershipVirtuesBook.com
