Mistake: Managers often exert too much pressure
A popular mistake that every ambitious boss has made is
putting too much pressure on the team
.
For a short time, this may inspire the team's willingness to perform.
But if pressure, combined with expectations that are too high, persists for too long, this creates a lot of stress for employees.
With devastating consequences: "Your employees
no longer feel comfortable at
work
, get sick or,
in the worst case, even
quit,
" warns career coach Henryk Lüderitz
in a guest post on the career network Xing.

What bosses can do better instead
Instead of depriving your employees of any joy in their job with constant pressure and thus also risking dismissals, Lüderitz advises
limiting
this procedure to
exceptional
situations - and then explaining it accordingly.
“If your team understands why it is important to go the extra mile, they will be motivated.” In his opinion, good, precise but also emotional communication is extremely important for this.
In addition, the coach advises after stressful phases to always
allow a
few days of relaxation to
follow, in which the team can take it easy.
