Your unhappy employee probably isn’t unhappy with the job. They’re unhappy because they don’t know two things: What they’re accountable for. And who they’re accountable to. Here’s what it looks like in practice.

The leaders can’t see it. They look at the employee from where they sit, not from where the employee sits. The fix is simple: 1 person to report to. One person who owns their priorities. One person who tells them what good looks like. Everyone else supports. They don’t direct.

Clarity isn’t a perk. It’s the job. Simple. Not easy. So here’s my question: could every person on your team name the one person they answer to?

Great article from @Gallup on the impact of management to productivity. This line is worth thinking about: “ Tenure and strong individual performance can be valuable, but neither should determine who becomes a manager.” gallup.com/workplace/713033/…

Many people think when employees are unhappy it’s because of pay. Probably true, but that’s not the complete picture. Nobody smiles at Everest base camp. They’re cold. Nauseous. Sleeping on rock. They climb anyway, and the smiles come at the top.

3. Are they held accountable? Great people want a standard. No standard means no respect for the work. 4. Do they get regular, specific feedback? Not a yearly review. Not silence until something breaks.

Any “no” is on you, not them. Pay matters. But people who feel valued will climb a long way with you. Which of the four would your team say you’re weakest at?

For 30 years now, I've worked with the owners of over 1,000 companies. Here's something that really surprises me a lot: I haven't met one who could say every employee has a deliverable.

Take 2 receptionists. The first one is Fred. His job is to answer the phone and greet people. Every quarter, we call 5 clients at random and ask them to rate how they were treated, 1 to 10. Below 8, we have a problem. 9+ he's exceptional.

Now meet Sally. Same job. Same desk. Same phone. No number. Fred knows the score. Sally is guessing. Nobody plays a game without a scoreboard. So why do we ask people to work without one? Which role in your company has no number?

Hate firing people? Here’s the good news: You don’t have to….if you do your job right.
