Thanks for the invitation. It's all about feedback, which can be given/assumed by :

 

  1. Manager/Superior 
  2. Peers
  3. Introspection 

Since improvement is a continuous process, the most critical one is introspection.

Well that is a very general question because it depends greatly on the job nature, for example an accountant will improve his performance by means which are very different than those in the case of a builder, one requires mental skills and the other requires physical abilities and stamina, however, there are general guidelines for a better performance in life, work, and pretty much everything else which would help you regardless of your profession, I'll mention them with a brief description.

 

1- Time Management: if you are successfully managing your time you will able to better organize your life and tasks, you will never be late for work, you will be waking up in good condition with much power to perform, and increase your overall productivity. It all starts by setting a wake-up and sleep time, stick to it, learn to say no, and with the time you gave to yourself you start filling the gaps with activities using prioritizing techniques.

 

2- Sports/fitness/well being: If you're fit, in good shape, have good stamina, you will gain more confidence, have more power to work for longer hours. Make sure you fill your time gaps with one or two hours of exercising. Also if you suffer from things like diabetes, high cholesterol levels, low vitamin levels, etc, if you don't workout, monitor the food you eat, and carefully manage medications you will always feel weak, sleepy, dizzy, and you won't be able to do anything in general.

 

3- Continuous Education/Learning: Never ever stop acquiring new skills, and learning new things, doesn't matter what you do for living, there are always related skills that you can acquire to help you, with lots of skills the possibilities are endless. 

 

4- Work smart not hard/Master patience/Trade space for time: When thousands of tasks strike upon you, when you feel your world falling apart, things getting messy, don't exhaust yourself trying to put it all together again, what can a soldier do? He who charges when out of breath, time is a the most valuable resource if you give it up you cant take it back, the things is, Pause, Study, Think, Prioritize, Act, Evaluate.  Always always always gain yourself more time, anything else is expendable.  

 

5-Keep your edges sharp: If you don't have enemies make them, if your tasks aren't challenging ask to perform harder tasks, if you acquire a new skill don't stop utilizing it, always maintain a busy day, when you're busy and have lots of challenges that require lots of your skills you will always produce more, achieve more, and your skills will be sharper, your mind will be sharper and more functional all the time.

 

6- Master Social skills and Emotional Intelligence: You will always work with, through, and under people so you better learn how to deal with them and how to control your emotions.

 

7- Set goals and define milestones, reward yourself, keep yourself motivated.

 

8- The richest person on earth is the one who is pleased with what he/she has got no matter how small it is. If it is only a roof over your head with nothing else, be thankful that you do not have to sleep in the rain.

1. Recruit the right people.

 

"The type of people employed will determine the working environment because they will contribute. Make sure to hire people who work hard and professionally, can work in a team and can contribute to making the work environment positive, because one corrupt apple will corrupt the entire fund "

2. Get rid of toxins

 

"It's amazing to see how one bad behavior affects everyone's performance badly. I can not describe the amount of thanks you get after you get rid of a bad employee or employee. It is true that they are difficult to implement, but in the end you will see how they were influential in the business environment, not only that, but also noticeable to our customers.

3. Keep the work place clean, comfortable and beautifully decorated.

 

"Working in a clean and attractive office has a great impact on improving communication between employees and their managers. Even if the sun does not reach the offices, try to provide a relaxing atmosphere with comfortable furniture, save for all they need and more. You may see that this method is expensive at first, but you will see staff that you are really interested in them because you invested in their comfort "

4. Make sure the lighting is excellent.

 

"The best advice I can give you is to provide the staff with a natural light. Poor or very strong lighting may tire their eyes and cause headaches, and these problems are not in the good and ambitious work environment. On the other hand, good lighting will make them active throughout the day. If natural lighting is not available, try to represent it by putting lighting in different degrees.

5. Place a place to relax.

 

"Provide a separate place for staff to relax. We always need to leave for a while to relax, talk to our colleagues, and renew our mental activity. By providing this separate space we will make the time out better than bothering the rest "

6. Place a blackboard in a wall.

 

"Putting a large blackboard in a wall helps to enhance the collective spirit of brainstorming, and it is a good idea because it allows everyone to look at it and add their thoughts to it. The attendees will photograph them with their phones so that they will be remembered later in the meetings, so that the most important work will remain before everyone's eyes.

7. Make your staff comfortable.

 

"We leave the staff to choose their own offices, some will choose a comfortable chair and the other will choose a big ball sitting on them to practice and work together, as well as plants and others. We also trust our staff to take time to rest whenever they want to play or to rejuvenate "

8. Encourage them to make their own place.

 

"Giving the employee the opportunity and freedom to arrange and decorate his office as he pleases is the best way to make him more comfortable in his office. Instead of unifying offices for everyone, set a budget to coordinate their offices as they wish, "says UsersThink CEO

9. Strengthening cooperation.

 

"Whether offices are attached to one another or in square form, be sure to leave a wide space for them to work together. This method will spark the creativity of the team and indirectly will inspire them to care about their work and their colleagues "Marketing Director of Four Mine

10. Eating together.

 

"There is a simple and effective way to improve the relationship of employees to each other, that is, to eat together. You do not need to spend a lot of money, for example you can order pizza or fast food restaurants. Talk a bit at first and then let them talk to each other "

11. Provide leisure activities during the working week.

 

"Every month, we do a fun activity of suggesting employees to increase connections between everyone. For example, sometimes we celebrate one's birthday or play the ball and some of us barbecue, all this during the working hours thanks to the staff for their efforts and to suggest the short working week and improve the culture of the company,

12. Make employees move.

 

"Do not let the employee feel confined to his chair. Sitting in the chair does not always mean better performance, try moving a little or work standing or go for a coffee close to your work on foot. Freedom of movement leads to freedom of thought ",

13. Focus on health and sport.

 

"Creating a work environment that focuses on the health aspects of employees is key to success. We arranged at our "Health Wednesday" where employees can participate in yoga activities, for example, or bring their pets because they help them relieve stress. These simple modifications make them happy and effective, "he said.

14. Use video calls with employees.

 

"In an era of technological progress, we do not see each other and forget that face-to-face interviews are important, e-mail people do not feel personal or misunderstood. Try video calls and you will be surprised by the reaction and admiration ",

15. Redraft the instructions.

 

"Replace" You should "with the word" Let "when you talk to your employees, a simple but effective change in communicating commands to the employee as if they are a common task. You can, of course, use it in all small or large tasks. Once you get used to this mentality, you will notice the differences in each person's knowledge of his or her tasks and what to do, and the result will be a better collaborative environment. "

16. Do not carry them energy money them.

 

"One of the reasons why an employee leaves his job is that his managers entrust him with the work of two or more people. It is very important that you do not give it more than it can. If you encounter a lot of work suddenly, hire outside staff to do it, "an administrative partner at Cavalier.

17. Be flexible.

 

"I always encourage employees to deal with their personal lives as if they are the CEO, but they are opposed to a meeting. As a manager, I will not hesitate to go to the doctor's office during work hours, or go to cut my hair, and encourage them to the same thing. A hard worker can schedule his or her own life and life in a balanced and effective manner as any executive. Did not we make them work all day and make their own work packed before and after work? "

This method benefits the employee and the employee to develop "

20. Place a clear base to use the phone during meetings

 

"Have you ever attended a meeting with someone who does not leave his phone? Select what is acceptable in the conference room. My rule is to live at the moment; if you have nothing to add to the meeting, do not attend it basically "

21. Always give a reaction.

 

"Positive feedback motivates employees and makes them feel that they are appreciative of what they did and how their work contributes to the success of the entire work. This means that you do not just say "well done" but cut off from your time a little and talk to them and show them how much you like their work and how it will lead to the growth of the company,

22. Be receptive to feedback as well.

 

"When you involve your staff in the decision-making process, you will help to leave a good impression on the work environment, and therefore employees feel important in the company. Do not hesitate to ask your employees what they think of any assignment, or even your question to the entire sector about what they feel about their team leader. That will make everyone happy and the work will work wonderfully "

23. Say "Thank you.

 

"Create a culture of appreciation among team members. The appreciation sows vitality in us, transforms the institution into a beautiful place, ignites enthusiasm, increases creativity and builds confidence. Between the importance of the team and thank its members for their contributions. After the employee has worked hard and hard, even the word "thank you" may mean a lot to him
