Hi, it's Tina with Top Practices Virtual Practice Management Institute.

Do you know great employees want to work with great employees? They want to work with people who are committed to the quality of work that they are and having an excellent team. The worst performer on the team actually sets the standards.

By a 6-to-1 margin, employees are more upset with a coworker who has the ability but doesn't try hard, rather than a coworker who is really trying hard but having a hard time succeeding. Employees need to be in an environment where there's mutual trust and respect for one's efforts and results.

And it starts with a deep awareness of what the work standards are and what not only individual expectations are, but team expectations. You know, effective managers don't stand by and just watch their team erode.

They jump in there, they help them, they find out what the problems are, they establish clear standards for performance, they hold employees accountable, and they foster an environment of excellence by recognizing and sharing examples of exceptional work.

If you need to discuss your team and taking it to the next level so that you can keep your great employees, all you have to do is email me at [email protected].

You take care. Talk to you soon. Bye.
