The impact of emotional capitalists - Does your job allow you every day to do what you are truly best at?
)
February 11th, 2010
Recently I read an interesting online article published by the UK HR Magazine quoting various Gallup surveys:
”... findings confirm earlier research by Gallup which found no single factor predicts the productivity of an employee more clearly than his or her relationship with a direct supervisor. More specifically, Gallup found the main drivers of productivity for employees were feeling cared for by their supervisor or someone at work and receiving recognition or praise in the previous seven days. Both demand regular encouragement of development. (...)
People are at their best when they have the opportunity to maximise their skills and interests. Gallup found the most satisfied workers answered yes when asked: ‘Does your job allow you every day to do what you are truly best at?’ Work that creates opportunities for people to shine ultimately leads to increased productivity.
When leaders appeal to their employees’ strengths they engage the primary driver of human performance – values. The real drivers of performance are not sticks and carrots but values and vibes. The things that really matter to people are feeling valued and having the chance to contribute value. The factors isolated by the reports are those associated with emotional intelligence. Successful leaders in the new economy are those with advanced social and emotional skills. In essence they are emotional capitalists.”
What are your thoughts?
And are you allowed every day to do what you are truly best at?
