(2) Know your staff
"Bosses takes 3 years to get to know their staff, but it takes their staff just 3 days to know them." Bosses rarely truly know their staff, e.g. can you pinpoint if any of your staff display the following traits at present ?
・Dresses in a showy manner? Appears to have a lot of cash at hand ?
・Seems lethargic ? Looks like something is bothering them ?
・Places an increasing number of external calls and whispers when talking on the phone ?
・Often arranges meetings with strangers within the office compound ?
・Works energetically but with little regard to proper work procedures ?
・Has an increase in absenteeism, reports late and leaves early ?
If any of your staff display any of the above, talk with them and identify and address the problem. To leave the matter untouched despite having observed unhealthy signs such as this, may only result in bigger problem later. Also, favoritism or condoning a certain level of misbehavior in otherwise competent staff may lead to an overall lack of discipline and ethics in the office.
