If not...do you now see the merit in investing the time it takes to know your Strengths?

Employee frustrations are costly. Employee frustrations lead to absenteeism, turnover, and disputes and conflicts between employees. Employee frustrations are often the cause behind clients becoming disgruntled.

There are literally mountains of self-help literature designed to deal with employee frustrations. Regardless, employee frustrations persist.

How are you addressing this problem?

Are you getting to the root causes?

Do you realize lack of self-confidence is the major cause underlying employee frustration?

Do you realize most people - most employees and most frustrated employees - do not understand that self-knowledge is required to battle self-confidence shortfalls?

Do you take the time to help your employees learn how to develop self-confidence?

Do you provide them tools to build self-confidence?

Do you provide them a role model to illustrate self-confidence?

Do you work at maintaining and building your own self-confidence?

***

Work at maintaining and building your self-confidence. Lead by example. Help your people maintain and build their self-confidence levels. Then they will be less frustrated. Being less frustrated they will perform better. Their improved performance will be infectious in a very positive way.

This is the route to inspiring people, influencing action, and improving business performance.
