Why Employees Leave and How to Keep Them
Why employees leave and how to keep them has always been a question for human resources. As an executive leadership coach I get asked this question often.
On the one hand, the equation is pretty simple: Employees like to be at a company where they feel important and valued. They want to feel like they are able to use their talents and their time effectively, to really make an impact; and they like to feel like that effort is noticed and appreciated.

Five Key Strategies for Giving Employee Feedback
I have been asked by leaders managers and supervisors over the last 30 years is employee feedback necessary and Important.
Today I would like to share with you 5 Key Strategies for Giving Employee Feedback.
1. Have a Standard Time for Giving Feedback?
The timing of your feedback is very important, so you want to take this into consideration.
Setting date for regular scheduled feedback is important for the continual improvement of your employee.
If your employee is not in a good mindset or if you are not in a good mindset, waiting till the mood is neutral will provide a more conducive environment to reinforce or redirect employees using constructive feedback
2. Preparation is Crucial
Your preparation for each employee should be thorough before you provide them with feedback.
The way you approach each team member will certainly be different according to the feedback that you deliver.
When you are prepared your team members will notice by the amount of information you provide them regarding their work.
This helps the feedback to be meaningful for the employee’s continuous improvement.
3.Provide Specific Examples for Improvement
In order for any feedback to be effective you must present the employee with specific examples on what needs to be improved as well as examples of what is going right.
This will help them to focus on their strengths repeating the tasks they are doing well, while working on their weaknesses.
4. Be Transparent and Real
In the world we live in today transparency is crucial in producing improvements and creating a happy work environment.
The feedback that you provide should be honest and genuine. You want to make the employees feel comfortable receiving feedback from you.
Your actions will speak louder than your words, so remember be yourself, your goal is to coach the team member to reach their highest potential!
5. Deliver Actionable Feedback
In order for feedback to be effective you must make it actionable so that the employee knows exactly what they need to do to improve and what steps they need to take first.
The goal is to avoid personal criticism on things that your employees can't change.
Your feedback should always be motivational, positive and with a focus on what your employees can do to reach their goals and objectives.
As you can see giving your employees feedback is crucial to building a culture of positivity.
Your employees will love to come to work focused on constant improvement in a happier work environment.
Those are some of my guidelines for effectively coaching and critiquing employees.
If you’d like to hear more about how transformational leaders deliver feedback, I’d love to tell you!
Reach out today and let’s chat together. You can contact me at info@rickgoodman.com or call 888-267-6098 and lets schedule a call today!

5 Habits of Highly Engaging Teams
Engaging teams and leaders of those highly engaged teams understand that so much of life comes down to the habits and discipline of the team members.
Highly engaged teams have systems and rituals they use to give them great results and you team can have the same results as well.
If you want your team to be more engaged—well, there are some habits to form for that, too. I recommend these five, in particular:
- Plan to engage. It’s difficult to be engaging when you’re making everything up as you go along. Of course, you may find yourself in unexpected situations, with some surprise opportunities to talk to employees or to potential customers—but most of the time, you will have a chance to plan. Want to run an engaging team meeting?
Take some time to plan your approach before the meeting. Want to engage a new client, rather than bore him to death? Plan your pitch in advance.
- Listen. Get into the habit of understanding before you try to make yourself understood. This means getting out of the habit of talking over other people or struggling to assert your point of view first and last. Make sure you always take time to figure out where other people are coming from.
- They Think win-win. One of the best ways to engage people is to present your case in a win-win manner—explaining not just why you want a given outcome, but why it’s also good for the other person. Be proactive about it; force yourself to always think win-win, and to lay out benefits and values.
- Focus on the outcome. Always know what kind of outcome you’re looking to achieve, and lead with it. Don’t bury the lead: Whether you’re talking to a customer or a team member, be upfront about what you hope to achieve. This will give your conversations direction.
- Follow up. Engagement is a two-way street—and while I don’t necessarily think you need to micromanage; I do think you need to give people room to ask questions or to offer you feedback. Get into the habit of asking for these things if you’re not already.
Highly Engaged Teams Morning Rituals
- Morning affirmations and goals review
One of my favorite leadership lessons comes from Stephen Covey's book The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People. The Habit is: “Begin with the End in Mind”.
Many of the executives that I coach implement a morning ritual of positive affirmations while reviewing their goals. They see themselves achieving these goals as if the task has already been accomplished.
They understand what most champions in sports and business have come to understand when they say.
“When They Believe It, They Will See It!”
- The Walkabout
Whenever I get to the office or even start my day virtually, I like to do a walkabout. There was a company in Argentina called Neutrona Networks International, where I was the executive coach for the founders and their management team.
I would fly to Buenos Aires three times a year to work with the team and each morning when I arrived at the office, I did my walkabout. I went and greeted each team member in the company to exchange pleasantries and asked him if there was anything, they needed to do their job better.
I also asked them about their families and how they were doing. If you want to be an engaging leader it's important to also understand this principle.
“People do Business with People Who They Like Who are Like Them!”
In other words, if your team truly like you and you are engaging and sincere, chances are they will work even harder to help reach the organizations and your goals.
- The Morning Huddle
One of my favorite morning rituals and I believe to be one of the most important for any organization is the morning huddle. It's important to understand the philosophy behind the huddle.
The goal is to have everyone on the team communicating with the leader what they will be working on for the week.
It's also an opportunity for the leader to ask team members if they need any support to achieve their goals and objectives for the week. It's important to note that the morning huddle is not a meeting, in fact my team leader in Argentina contacted me and said the huddles were lasting too long.
Our solution was to call it a coffee huddle, when the coffee is done the huddle is over! Think of a huddle in the National Football League, the quarterback calls the plays instructs the team what to do and says break and they come out of the huddle.
I recommend that you have the huddle on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. This way you could start the week off communicating, check in with the team halfway through the week and on Friday review what had been accomplished and set the goals for Monday.
I believe by implementing these morning rituals in addition to the five habits, you'll be well on your way to becoming a more effective and engaging leader.
It takes time and diligence to be an engaging leader—and it takes the formation of good, healthy habits. Do you have any tips to add to this list on how you engage with your team or with your customers?
