CIO wrote a great article on “Five Great Ways to Drive Your Best Workers Out the Door” Please note that this article talks about your TOP employees and not just the average ones. These are the people you must treasure and try to keep them beside you as best as you could.

Check out the five things that drive top employees up the wall:

Mistake No. 1: Keep the creative juices bottled up.
Mistake No. 2: Micromanage your staff.
Mistake No. 3: Deny new opportunities and challenges.
Mistake No. 4: Don’t listen to your employees.
Mistake No. 5: Change the work environment without considering the impact on employees.

Enterprise 2.0 enables creativity, innovation and improve communication across boundaries and hierarchy. However it does mean that with Enterprise 2.0, the problem is solved, managers need to listen, act on stuff and react accordingly. Its a perspective change or an attitude change and technology is one of the factors in this change.

I told this to a colleague recently. I am NOT evangelising on a enterprise 2.0 software, I am evangelising a new way of working and management. I just happen to be in an IT company so I have to talk about the software to get people interested.
