Employee turnover is one of the most formidable invisible enemies for growth.

It’s critical to get your employees to understand at the outset that no level of performance is ever good enough, and that there is always room for improvement.

…managers must become coaches rather than tyrants and employees become proactive.

Smart bosses spend less time on day-to-day supervision of employees an more time thinking about the key strategic issues…

Good bosses also spend time managing uncertainty and adapting the company’s strategy and structure by handling overall coordination between employees and units.

…for many everyday business activities, employees no longer need a boss to direct them to tasks or to monitor their progress. In fact, such involvement can be demotivating.

…there has long been a basic appreciation of empowerment’s ability to make all employees feel that they are an important part of the mission of the company.

…very flat hierarchies with a high degree of employee empowerment can work – but only under special circumstances.

…it usually will not work to just give your employees well-nigh unlimited freedom.

…when employees know the best decision to make, why not delegate the right to make the decision to them?
