4 Things Your Employees Want from You

Figuring out what your people want can feel like an intricate puzzle, especially when different employees require different things. Here are four things most employees need to be successful:

1. Role clarity. Tell your employees what their roles are, what you want them to achieve, and what the rules are for getting there.

2. Autonomy. People want something interesting to work on and they want to be trusted to do it well.

3. Accountability. Holding people accountable is not just about being fair. It also sends a message about what is and what isn't acceptable. This is critical for employees who are trying to figure out how to succeed.

4. Praise. Everyone wants to be recognized when they've done something right. You can motivate employees by highlighting their strengths and not harping on their weaknesses.
