Being a CEO is an earned privilege not a right .
Being in position of leadership requires discipline and team work .
If you aren’t willing to listen why should your employees listen to you ?
Do you think that they should listen just because you are the boss ?
You seem more focused on dominating more than anything else .
There are several reasons why Your employees aren’t being productive .
You keep micro managing and pushing people away .
People should want to come work and perform their duties .
The environment has to be right for people to perform at the highest of standards .
As an entrepreneur I want to make sure that the people around me are comfortable .
What makes things worst is when you refuse to change .
It is your duty as the CEO to facilitate a work environment that is comfortable for your employees .

When your workers are happy they will produce for you .
Some CEOs lack soft skills and are driven by profit .
When you have a CEO driven by profits the other areas of your business gets neglected .
Your employees are on the front line more often than you .
If your staff isn’t happy they aren’t going to fully comply .
If they aren’t fully complicit the customer is going to catch the bad end of the stick .
It ends up hurting your bottom line because it cost you money to hire and retrain people .
1 employee will cost you to lose money and customers so you need to get a grip because your business cannot survive without people .
Don’t waite until you experience a dramatic drop in sales and profits before you pay attention .
So what is your company culture ?
Once a week or bi weekly you need to have team meetings to discuss ideas and problems .
Just a little bit of communication and respect can boost peoples morale .
You would be surprised at how much people will go over and beyond for you when you show a little appreciation .
Now if on the other hand you aren’t forthcoming and appreciative people will sabotage your business .
Business is a two street .
You want to be respected as the boss but you don’t want to respect your staff .
Do you really think people are going to sit back and tolerate your nonsense ?
Yes I know about the workers that aren’t giving you a honest days work .
If you have to micro manage it is either you or the employee that has to go .
Sometimes you have to step down for the betterment of the company .
Will your ego allow you to ?

Your employees are human and shouldn’t be treated ill mannered .
Lets go over somethings you can do to inspire your staff .
1 Monthly awards
Awarding your staff is a good way to inspire them to do more and it sparks a healthy competitiveness .
2 Don’t be a drill sergeant
You don’t have to be aggressive to get your point across .All you really have to do is give clarity and assurance when communicating .
You want your workers to feel comfortable calling you if they are in dis tress .
If people aren’t comfortable communicating with you they’ll short change you ,your business doesn’t need that .
3 Embrace ideas
Yes you worked hard and are taking on all the risk however that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t take advice .
If you listen you will learn but if you aren’t willing to listen you won’t learn .
4 Don’t over work your staff
Find ways to create balance . In other words try not to set out long schedules if it is not needed because the last thing you need is for people to to burn out .
When your workers are feeling energized they will be a lot more productive.
5 Accept the mistakes
You shouldn’t go crazy when some one makes a mistake otherwise you will discourage them .
Give them the guidance they need so that they don’t become hesitant to try.
If you grill some one for making a mistake they’ll be reluctant to try .
6 Equal treatment
Don’t set double standards .I have seen this in the work place .
You give certain employees a free pass for bending the rules but will punish the next person for the same offence .
I know you have your favorites but in the work place favoritism is not a good thing . When you show favoritism the other staff members will become dis infranchised .
Conclusion
A work environment shouldn’t be intimidating but more so inspiring each member to work towards achieving a common goal .
