This article is written to help you communicate with the people who work for you and your family. Sometimes as parents, our children are not as good listeners as we would like them to be. This article addresses this problem and gives some tips on what to do when your child or employee does not follow through on a task that they are assigned. It also informs you of how to make it clear that there are consequences for not following through with their assigned tasks.
The first step in preventing misconduct is to make sure that the rules for the family or business are clearly known by those who live under them. This will help those living under the rules to understand how the actions of others affect them, so they can be prepared to act appropriately. If a poor listener slips up and you have no idea how it affected your family, then stay quiet. At least you will know that he/she didn't pass along important information to anyone else. So never blame them if they are caught not doing what they were supposed to do, because then you won't know what could have been done differently.
It is not just the consequences of their actions on their own selves that are important, but it is also what the consequences have to do with you and your business. If a poor listener is caught stealing from your company, or lying to a client, then this has huge consequences for you. For instance if you don't have enough money in the bank to pay your workers for their work, then your employees may not work for you. This will probably cause them to loose interest in working for you and leave. Plus it could cause more problems if they tell other people about their paychecks that were late or never came at all. And everyone would be pretty mad at you if they lost any business over something like this.
So make it a priority to talk to your children and employees about the importance of following through with the tasks that they are assigned. Also tell them what the consequences will be if they do not follow through on their tasks. For instance, if you ask your employee to mow a lawn, but he/she does not do this, then he/she probably will not get paid for the work that he/she did not do. This is because the employer has already paid for this service and thus the money is gone unless it is put back in his payroll account.
This article also offers advice on how to avoid misconduct. One tip is not to give your employees too much responsibility if they don’t know how to handle it. This will cause you to lose the employee that you were depending on for those tasks, thus causing the work to be done by someone else and that person may not do the job as well and could cause more harm than good.
Communicating with and supervising employees is important in all aspects of life, but it is especially important when working in a business setting. If you can't talk clearly with your employees and family, then you can't get the job done right. Make sure that you and your family members can clearly communicate with each other and employers, but don't point the finger at them if they do not listen to you.

[/ARTICLE END][ARTICLE BEGINS]2.6 million people you'll never hear from. A to-do list for a professional is an overrated tool for management." If a professional doesn't know what's on his to-do list, he can't manage his priorities effectively. But that's not all that's wrong with this view of "to-do lists," as it is commonly used as a management strategy.
