Autonomy is a Mindset
• Help employees see all the ways they can
control how they work, when they work,
and what they work on.
• Allow at least one work from home day a
week.
• Encourage no meeting days.
31. Learningtogo.info
Fostering Relatedness
• Just talk to them - about anything but work.
• Encourage teamwork whenever possible. Avoid lone
assignments.
• Stop cliques from forming – mix up partnerships
regularly.
• Show how all work connects to a common goal.
32. Learningtogo.info
Fairness
One of the greatest causes of quitting or silent
quitting is a sense that the boss plays
favorites. How does that make you feel when
you experience it? What can we do about it?
34. Learningtogo.info
• Establish a coaching process – and follow it.
• Conduct regular “Stay Interviews” and skip
level meetings
• Personalize recognition
• Manage cognitive load with technology
And More …

Coaching Process
Before After
“My manager only meets with me when
something is wrong.”
“Recognition seems random and focused on the
same few folks over can again.”
“My manager has never discussed my personal
career goals or offered to help me plan for the
future.”
“I always know where I stand with my manager.
We meet weekly, so my annual review is never a
surprise.”
“My manager understands my value to the team
and often mentions my contributions.”
“I understand how to advance in my career, and I
know what resources I can use to get there.”
37. Learningtogo.info
Stay Interview
Before After
“I had no idea she was so unhappy. We just lost
one of our top performers.”
“We invest a lot of time and money in
onboarding new people in this role, only to lose
them as soon as their time in job is up and they
can post to other positions.”
“We don’t have a good pipeline of future
leaders.”
“At least once a quarter I conduct a ‘stay’
interview with each member of my team. I want
to know what it will take to motivate them to
stay, and what could happen them would make
them want to leave.”
“I love attending skip level meetings with my
boss’ manager. It helps me connect the dots
between my role and the strategic plans of the
business.”
38. Learningtogo.info
Personalized Recognition
Before After
“My manager always makes a big show of
recognition in front of the entire team, but I’m
really much happier to receive a simple
compliment from on a personal level.”
“My team gives out a lot of silly toys and food
items as recognition. Quite honestly, I wish
they’d save that money and just increase my
salary.”
“My manager surprised me with a gift certificate
to my favorite restaurant. No one has ever done
something like that for me before.”
“The first thing my manager asked me was what
I like about my job and what I didn’t like. The
next week, we sat down together and
restructured my routine to help me do the things
that I’m best at.”
39. Learningtogo.info
Manage Cognitive Load
Before After
“I start my day in a meeting and they just keep
coming, one after another. I’m lucky if I get a
free half hour in an eight-hour day. When the
meetings are finally done, I have a long to-do list
and no time to do them.”
“Our leaders don’t understand how long it takes
to do our work. They constantly overcommit
before checking with us.”
“I love “No Meeting Fridays!” It gives us all
chance to catch our breath and get things done.”
“We’ve started communicating on message
boards and shared documents. It’s made a big
difference because we’ve been able to eliminate
about a third of our meetings and made us more
productive.”
