Great bosses grow great employees. But it's not enough to "know 'em when you see 'em." Managers need to be able to articulate just what sets the best apart from others. Boss should describe what they do differently -- and better. Those words are invaluable in ongoing feedback and coaching, and can turn annual evaluations from ice cold report cards into detailed road maps to success.
That's why I've developed a list of 12 employees -- the kind every boss wants on his or her team. If you have these folks, salute them, celebrate them -- and make certain you help others learn how to emulate their success. You can read my list of 12 top employees by
clicking this link, which takes you directly to my "What Great Bosses Know" column and podcast on Poynter. org.
I also share the special management challenges that great bosses address on behalf of each of those high performing staffers. Hope you enjoy the list -- and have plenty of staffers who would qualify for inclusion.
Just a reminder that you can also download my podcast of the "12 Great Employees" list and our complete free library of management lessons on iTunes U.
