Align Employees and Company Priorities

Lucky Managers find that their employees' interest naturally align with company priorities. If you're not one of the lucky ones, here are three ways to line up what your employees care about with your company needs to get done:

- Know your employees' priorities: Don't wait for review time. Regularly ask your employees what they personally care most about. As a manager, you need to know what drives them.

- Communicate company priorities: Tell employees what the company needs to achieve in the next week, month, and year. Be clear and consistent, and do this often.

- Align interest to responsibilities: Now that both agendas are clear, try as much as possible to channel employees' interest into relevant company priorities.
