Leadership 101: Recognize effort

Once upon a time, Ram Chary Everi was an employee. During that time, he learned so much about what makes a good worker and what makes a successful leader. He has come a very long way and has used all the wisdom he's gathered to help companies and business leaders succeed. 

Today, Ram Chary Everi looks at one of the most important things all true leaders should do – recognize employees' effort. 

While results will always matter, leaders should never overlook the effort of loyal staff. How a manager or supervisor reacts to workers putting in overtime hours for the company, coming in on rest days, or simply even picking up the slack left by other employees will determine whether these employees will keep on doing the same thing in the future.

It may seem mundane to many people on the management level, but for employees toiling day in and day out in their respective departments, recognition can go a long way, Ram Chary Everi notes.

A huge number of employees who leave their companies do so because they feel unappreciated. And whether intentionally or unintentionally, managers and supervisors have a lot to do with it. In fact, Ram Chary Everi places a lot of value on employee recognition, perhaps as much as any other trait or skill the best business leaders in the world have.

Ram Chary Everi is a business professional who served in various companies such as Multimedia Games Holding Company, Fidelity National Information Services, Firstsource Solutions Limited, and IBM Global Services. He is also a supporter of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, the largest organization for research and funding for blood cancer treatments. For more articles like this, visit this page.
