For an employee to make the drastic decision to leave their job if they have another job in sight is not unusual. And for a worker to "burn out" to the point of wanting to throw in the towel has an absolutely disastrous effect on team morale (in addition to being extraordinarily expensive). When someone decides to cut corners and leave their job to join the unemployment lists, they do so motivated by multiple factors and these factors are often closely related to leadership ( or rather the absence of leadership). According to a report published in Harvard Business Review , these are the 8 leadership mistakes that most frequently lead employees to run away: 1. Establish goals and expectations that are inconsistent When employees are forced to choose between two different tasks (impossible to undertake at the same time) to satisfy certain expectations, the result is an enormous amount of stress, the emanation of those who are not confronted with a clear list of priorities (ordered, if necessary, from most to least important).
Put multiple obstacles in the processes Process restrictions occur when a lack of information and resources prevent the employee from completing their work. Such restrictions emerge, for example, when the Argentina Phone Number List employee is forced to wait until other tasks that do not directly depend on him are completely completed before moving forward with a project. In such circumstances the worker feels helpless and even develops a feeling of guilt (although the fault is, of course, not his or her own). 3. Waste resources Employees who are forced to invest (or rather waste) their time on completely unproductive tasks tend to "burn out" quickly. If a leader does not provide his subordinates with the necessary resources for their work to be successful, discontent and dissatisfaction will soon emerge. 4. Putting people in roles that are inappropriate for them When the worker feels that his skills and knowledge are clearly underused, his desire to take his talent elsewhere also grows. In this sense, and to avoid unnecessarily "burning out" staff, it is vital that leaders are absolutely transparent with their subordinates about the nature of the tasks they are going to perform.
Assign employees to tasks that are both boring and embarrassingly simple. Putting less work in the hands of a worker does not necessarily translate into higher levels of satisfaction. When someone feels that they are not entrusted with carrying out enough tasks (or these are supremely boring and simple), they lose motivation and are logically confronted with negative emotions. That is why it is unavoidable that leaders take the trouble to explore the passions and interests of the people in their charge so that they can continue to grow professionally. 6. Failing to create a psychologically safe culture Hostile work environments are very easy to identify. If employees do not dare to raise their voices in the meetings in which they are willing to participate, we are, for example, facing an alarm signal. When workers fear that their thoughts and ideas can potentially translate into negative repercussions, they avoid taking risks, engaging in conflicts of a healthy nature, and also growing in the roles they have been assigned. On the other hand, in a psychologically safe environment, teams can unleash their productivity, creativity and sense of belonging.
