Michaela Goll is the owner of Michaela Goll Consulting and, as an expert, supports companies in integrating effective and efficient employee management into their day-to-day business. This is how companies secure valuable competitive advantages for the future. A happy and therefore more productive workforce is just one of them.
The success of a company depends on many factors. On the one hand, of course, on the productivity of the workforce. However, it is just as essential that the management level is set up accordingly. The managing director in particular plays a decisive role in this. It is therefore not surprising that they can only rarely switch off from everyday work. “However, if you have a functioning team, you don’t have to work your way up to burnout or even a heart attack,” warns Michaela Goll. She is the owner of Michaela Goll Consulting and an expert in effective and efficient leadership. She knows the challenges that companies and their managing directors face again and again. In the following, the expert revealed which mistakes managing directors should avoid in order to be able to switch off in their role and to be able to rely on their employees.
Permanent control is taken for granted
“Many managing directors work around the clock, at least in their minds,” says Michaela Goll. At the end of the day and also during vacation, you simply cannot switch off. Thoughts get stuck on the company and the current challenges. The result: tension, stress and exhaustion increase. Not only is dealing with employees becoming increasingly strenuous, but one’s own free time also suffers. If they spend time with their loved ones, they seem mentally absent here too.
Less stress when leading your employees and more balance in private life are a great wish of many business professionals. On the other hand, many of them think that an extremely high workload is essential for entrepreneurial success. A mistake, as Michaela Goll knows. “The problem is that many employers believe that their company would no longer function without permanent control of day-to-day business,” explains the expert. “They need to learn to delegate tasks to their employees without feeling like they have to personally oversee every little step.”
Employees are not involved enough in processes
However, if managing directors trust their team and involve it in well-structured processes, both sides benefit. Employees need clear workflows and structures in order to be able to work productively. If these are available, motivation increases as well as personal satisfaction and the results are much better. Finally, a topic no longer has to be discussed umpteen times, but is simply dealt with by a team that is able to work independently. What is needed for this are motivated employees who are involved in efficient processes.
In order to achieve this, companies should establish the following steps: On the one hand, it makes sense to implement a digital training platform that enables employees to be trained within a few weeks. In addition, processes should be introduced to ensure that employees can actually complete their tasks. It also makes sense to install a monitoring system that offers both the team itself and the managers the opportunity to make timely corrections.
Management is neglected
Can leadership be easy? “Absolutely,” confirms Michaela Goll. However, many business leaders do not know how to make their tasks easy for themselves. They simply haven’t learned how effective leadership works. If they continue not to educate themselves further in this essential subject area, they squander large parts of their attractiveness as an employer. The personal life balance also suffers noticeably. At the same time, nobody would have to work themselves to death if employee management were implemented as needed. Finally, the employees are hired to take over the day-to-day business and thus relieve the management.
The value of a satisfied workforce is all too often underestimated. Instead of investing in employees and leadership, funds are invested in marketing measures. But these vanish into thin air in a non-productive team anyway. After all, employees sometimes do worse work if they are not managed in a goal-oriented manner and do not feel valued. From a certain point, the customers also feel the lack of motivation.
Instead of hastily investing money in other areas, as a managing director it is important to work actively on your own leadership. Efficient and effective processes lead to a satisfied workforce that the management level can rely on. If this trust is given, both sides benefit. The appreciation and responsibility leads to better results at the employee level and thus to higher sales. As a result, the managing directors can withdraw a little and leave their everyday work behind.
