Message to managers and executives across all organizations: “You live and work on planet Earth and manage real people, start acting that way!”
Human beings, not space aliens, work and interact daily in all companies and organizations. They are the same as you and me. They are men and women of flesh and blood. They have hearts, minds, and souls. They have hopes, dreams, and desires.
…
They want to be appreciated, respected, and recognized. They want to be treated fairly. They want to know that they matter, that their managers genuinely care about them as individuals, that their organizations value their efforts and contributions.
Employees don’t stop being human when they work for a university, government agency, or a non-profit foundation. The laws of economics, the dynamics of human relationships, ethical and leadership principles, equity and fairness rules, human motivation theories, and reality and truth don’t suddenly change or stop working when you’re employed by the government or an academic institution.
