What Your People Want

“What People Want,” is a book by Terry Bacon, revealing results from a survey of 500 employees on what workers want.

Honesty: 90% of respondents indicated they want honesty and integrity from their boss.

Fairness: They want their management to be fair and hold everyone accountable.

Trust: They want to trust and be trusted by their boss.

Dependability: They want to be able to count on their boss.

Collaboration: 77% want to be part of the managers team.

What don’t they want?

Friendship: Only 3% want their boss to be a friend.

Conversation: Only 14% want an interesting conversation with their boss.

I like how Jesus summarized it. Treat others as you yourself wish to be treated.
