The employee engagement survey I determined that many leadership behaviors are needed to
improve the work environment. For example, the work environment needs to understand that
certain people have certain job descriptions regarding supervision of others and these roles are
put in place for a reason. The communication and trust between colleagues need to be
reinforced in order for the company to succeed. Furthermore, the leadership needs to care
about the employees as if they are people because as of right now, they are doing the bare
minimum for the happiness and well-being of the employees when they should be having a
happy and healthy work environment. Lastly, in regard to communication all departments
should be able to correspond with one another because there are so many overlapping
business requirements when it comes to being successful and implementing a healthy
communication between all departments would allow for more creative thinking when it
comes to company strategies and supporting one another.
I would recommend the following leadership skills: challenge the process, enable others to act,
encourage the heart. I would use these skills to develop the identified leadership behaviors
because challenging the process allows for the employees and leaders to create the better
communication they need to succeed. I would also choose enabling others to act because
there are employees that are probably struggling and giving them a voice to do what they
believe is a better way to do their required tasks it may help the entire company as a whole be
more efficient. Lastly, I believe encouraging the heart gives an entire company a new vibe that
ensures that the companies employees feel appreciated and wanted. These are feelings that no
one would pass up in a workplace and therefore employees that feel this way will not want to
leave and go somewhere else but would rather enjoy being where they are and helping the
team more.
These recommended leadership skills will overall improve organizational performance because
communication will be improved allowing to ensure all tasks are completed and employees will
enjoy their jobs and feel appreciated leading to a decreased employee turnover rate.
