hi I’m Evan Carmichael and welcome to
another edition of ask Evan in today’s
video I’m going to answer questions from
one of my readers Jackie who’s asking
about how to connect with employees and
keep them accountable so a couple of
tips for you that might be helpful the
first is actually care about your
employees and this might sound obvious
but a lot of people a lot of employers a
lot of entrepreneurs are so tied up with
the day to day of running the business
at stressful it takes up a lot of time
that all we care about from our staff is
do they get the job done and we don’t
have to think about them as a person and
asked about their lives and what they’re
up to and realize that you know they
have a life outside of just working for
you and the more you can connect to that
and the more you can get them to feel
like you have to care about them and the
more you actually do care about them the
more they’re going to care about you I
want to do more for the business and get
more involved and see that you’re
successful so with my staff I always try
to ask but what they’re up to try to
participate in their lives you know
without being overbearing but the more
that they know that you care then the
more like that they’re going to care
about you so it’s a two-way street and
obviously you want your staff they care
about you and care about the company the
next thing is try to tie in what your
team is doing to the bigger picture
because often you know people can get
lost in the day to day of their job and
they don’t see how it’s helping
ultimately right as entrepreneurs we’re
helping people we’re delivering a
product or service that fulfills needs
and makes people’s lives better but
often the people who are doing a lot of
the work they may not have any customer
interaction and they don’t see how
you’re helping people so the more you
can tie in what they’re doing to the
bigger picture and make them realize
that the tasks that they’re doing is
really important and is having a lot of
impact on people and is really valuable
the more likely they’re going to want to
stay and like their job and be more
chemical
also try to tie them into the bigger
picture of what their task is instead of
just saying do this this is your job get
it done the next thing and the last
thing I want to quickly talk about is
try to share your wins so a lot of the
people in your company again may not
have a lot of connection to the
customers they may not see how the work
that you’re doing is actually being
useful and helpful and if they do a lot
of times it may just be complaint rights
of some of the people who are working
for me they’ll be working with some of
our authors and although get as a
problem emails right most people don’t
read into say hey this is great they’re
writing to say I’m having a problem with
this or can you help me with that and so
the in your employees day-to-day lives
all their team is a negative and the
problems and that’s what they’re trying
to solve and they may not steal the
great stuff that you’re doing so for my
part of the business I’ll always getting
emails from people saying hey thanks for
that video or attention a newsletter was
really inspiring really appreciate it
now I’m not more motivated than ever to
want to keep our of my business and
that’s great that gives me a boost and I
want to keep doing the stuff that I’m
doing because of those comments and what
I’ll do is I’ll share that with my team
so that they see that hey you know we’re
really having an impact here it’s not
just the problems that we’re getting
there’s a lot of benefit that that we’re
doing is a lot of good that we’re doing
and we’re helping a lot of people so
more you can type people into that and
share those wins the more likely they’re
going to again like their jobs care more
about the business would be more
accountable as well so I hope that helps

thumbs up and I’d also love to hear
thoughts and feedback if you want to
