You’re a new manager. How can you develop your staff in the most effective way?
Don't change anything! Resist the urge to be a problem solver. Instead, put on your investigators hat. Ask questions. Observe. Pitch in. Once you get a good understanding what it is like to be your employees, facing the problems they are facing - then, and only then - ask this most important question: "how can I help?"

“How do you manage in a field where turn-over is high, motivation is low and no matter how much you try to smile and sugar coat it, at the end of the day you are still asking your staff to clean toilets?” Ralph Peterson has been hiring, promoting and training managers in one of the toughest management fields there is: Housekeeping. “Housekeeping management is not like managing in any other field,” he tells prospective managers. “Anyone can manage staff that love their jobs, went to school for it and have always wanted to be whatever it is they are being. That’s not the case in housekeeping. No one wants to be a housekeeper.” Managing When No One Wants To Work: Lessons Of Leadership From An Executive Housekeeper is a management exposé that reveals how to manage call-outs, attitude, turnover, motivation, conflict, and breaking down the popular, “We’ve always done it that way,” mentality, regardless of the field you are managing in.
