All, doing a 5 minute freewrite. Thank you for reading.
I believe many of us in the work place is kinda used to all kinds of shouting that happens when thing do not go right, shipment targets not met, yields not meeting expectation and so on. But is there really a need to shout to actually make the message go across and effectively motivate your workers to do better for next tasks?
Think again, shouting audibly actually exerts alot from the one whom shouts and potentially injure their vocal chords. And the receiver will most definitely feel worse from this verbal abuse. In the past, this might be a great way to get things moving.
That brings us to the concept of shout quietly which essentially drives people forward without the abuse. By just telling people exactly what to do, guiding them to take small steps towards success, setting them back on course when things deviate. This not only makes the employee feel better, but definitely better engagement.
Stop scolding, start guiding.
