NEVER Say These Things to your Employees Unless you Want to Doom your Business

“I’m the boss. Do as I say!” is probably the worst thing you could say to your employees. It’s one of the most demotivating statements, and I’m sure it will throw your business into the gutter much sooner than later – starting from dissatisfied employees who under-perform.

As a business owner, you are a leader. A leader don’t TELL others what to do; instead, a leader LEADS others to do what he/she wants them to do. You don’t DEMAND them to do something you want; you GUIDE them to do something you want.

You’ve got to stay on top your game, mate. And the only way to do it is to gain respect from your employees – starting from the words coming out from your mouth.

Let’s get started, shall we? Here are 7 things you should NEVER, EVER say to your employees, unless you want a bunch of dissatisfied employees ‘loitering’ around in your office, producing very little to what they are capable of:

Here’s to recap – never say these things to your employees:

  1. “I’m the boss. Do as I say!”
  2. “You’re lucky to have a job!”
  3. “If you don’t like it, I’ll find someone who does!”
  4. “Why are you the only one who has a problem with this?”
  5. “I don’t have time for this!”
  6. “You have no idea what stress is!”
  7. “Do you see my name on that door?”

Go it. I will read and re-read the list.
