4 tips for making sure employees don't get disgruntled

A friend, let's call him Joe, was recently really let down by his CEO.

He had negotiated a new role in his firm that would allow him to move from a mostly overhead role to a mostly direct-labor role. A few days ago, the CEO told him that the deal was off, and he never gave Joe a reason.

Joe’s morale is down, and — since he’s a leader — the morale of his group is also down
 
Leading a business is a sacred calling.

What I mean is that once you begin hiring employees, the business is bigger than you and no longer about you. It’s through your inspiration and leadership that:
 

• The economy grows and jobs are created 
• Taxes are paid
• Educations and medical care are paid for
• Charities are funded (by you and by your employees)
• Elderly parents are cared for

A big part of that sacred calling is providing the right environment for your employees. Poor environments lead to disgruntled employees, and can lead to negative comments over social media and reduced productivity.
