Employeeship: What is it?

Employeeship is a Term Describing What it Takes to be a Good Employee

Companies are faced with challenges unlike any time in history and leaders are looking for anything to give them a competitive edge. Since it has been acknowledged that people are a companies' greatest resource, this blog addresses topics about what it takes to be a good employee. Our purpose is to help develop employees, connect employer and employee, and bring a mutual understanding of the companies values and mission, the employer's expectations, and the employee's responsibilities.

Why address employee responsibilities?

Colleges and Universities have degree programs on leadership and management, but none on what it takes to be a good employee. The Masters of Business Administration (MBA) is one of the most sought after degrees in the business world, but I have never heard of a class on employee rights and responsibilities. As an employee, I have been frustrated when management fails to communicate vision, mission, and expectations and as a business leader, I have been frustrated when employees just don't seem to "get it." There is a lot of information about what makes a good leader, but little on what makes a good follower.

The good news is that there is an abundance of knowledge that will make the workplace more satisfying and efficient for both the employer and employee. However, there is an understanding gap between them. Many leader's are stuck in outdated management styles and many employees fail to grasp the challenges of running a business in a fast changing world. Addressing this understanding gap is essential for the success of every organization.

Future posts will address topics such as:

• The three primary components of employeeship
• Five dimensions of employeeship
• Leadership styles and expectations
• Workplace communication
• The war for talent
• Employee engagement
• Employee development
• Balancing life and work
• I got the job, now what?
• Self-leadership and self-management
• What is my role?
• Emotional intelligence
• Job satisfaction and productivity
• Internal motivation and locus of control
• Building confidence and self-efficacy
• Overcoming constraints
• Dealing with micro-managers
• Building trust
• Seeing the big picture
• It's not just "your problem," it's "our problem."
• "In-groups": what are they and do they matter?
