5 ways to keep your rockstar employees happy

[samvara]

A lot of this article rang true for me.

1. Create a culture of education
2. Provide regular, consistent feedback
3. Set time aside for weekly 1:1 meetings
4. Manage the grunt work properly (always see light at the end of the tunnel)
5. Publicly acknowledge good work

I am certainly noticing how awesome the difference is with someone who does this.

Great article.

Interesting huh! I'm pretty sure I fall down on 2.

That's a great article! I forwarded the link to one of my Bosses and he said he missed an acknowledgement in the article that bosses are also in need of feedback, because they themselves are sometimes just as doubtful. Reason #23435235 why I like my job, that he's honest with his personnel and doesn't pretend. I liked that. :)

Yay! That's a good point. Bosses need feedback just as much as everyone else. Thats a very good behaviour, in a way, if he's open about it, he's giving everyone else permission to do it too.
