Making progress
Do you thank staff for a job well done?
Is feedback timely and specific?
Do you make time to meet with and listen to staff on a regular basis?
Is your workplace open, trusting and fun?
Do you encourage and reward initiative and new ideas?
Do you share information about your organization with staff on a regular basis?
Do you involve staff in decisions, especially those that will affect them?
Do you provide staff with a sense of ownership of their jobs and the unit as a whole?
Do you give your employees a chance to succeed?
Do you reward staff based on their performance?
Don't be afraid to redesign job functions to promote achievement and responsibility.

Remove some controls involved in an employee's job but retain accountability;
Increase individuals' accountability for their own work;
Delegate to employees not just a portion of a task but the complete natural unit of work (e.g., an entire division or area);
Circulate monthly financial or status reports to all staff, not just supervisors;
Assign specific or specialized tasks to individuals, enabling them to become experts.
