This has changed things somewhat in terms of work perks over the past decade - think ping pong tables, 4 day work weeks and free Friday afternoon wine &amp; cheese. </strong></p><p><br></p><p>In this episode, I examine the factors that drive workforce productivity, and how your role as a leader influences this. I talk through the following concepts:</p><p><br></p><ul><li>Sometimes happy workers are just happy workers, nothing more!</li><li>Which comes first, happiness, or productivity?</li><li>Why being a permissive leader builds people who are neither happy nor productive</li><li>Why challenging, coaching, and confronting is the path to helping people to be both happy and productive</li><li>I’ll give you my four ways to make happy workers productive - these are gold so take notes!</li></ul><p><br></p><p>I hope that after listening to this, you understand that unhappy workers will never deliver for you, but many happy workers won't either. As a leader, you need to help your people to be successful in a way that grows their self-esteem and confidence, and that's the right kind of happy.</p><p><br></p><p>If you're afraid of challenging, coaching, and confronting, you can never help your people to achieve this and your team will be less than it should be!</p><p><br></p><p>As always, I’d love to chat with you one on one so feel free to add me on LinkedIn and send me a direct message, or email me at hello@yourceomentor.com.</p>","author_name":"Martin G Moore"}
