The invisible employee

The business sector today is experiencing a real crisis; it is the "invisible employee"; the employee who feels threatened, ignored, and unappreciated, and therefore only responds in the only way he knows; which is to stay in the shadows, do just enough work to keep his job, complain about this and that, and transfer these behaviors to new arrivals. He works and his unspoken words are: "Why should I exert effort and excel if no one will notice my achievements? Why bother trying at all when there's a possibility that the company might dismiss me in its next plan?" In this book, managers will learn how to overcome one of the most famous negative behaviors at work; which is that smart employees prefer safety, perform their work silently, and never do more than what is asked of them. The renowned authors Adrian Gostick and Chester Elton explain how competent managers can change this mindset by involving employees in developing their companies; by setting clear goals, encouraging productive behaviors, and celebrating every success achieved all the time; and thus, the ultimate result will be that the organization will have productive employees who feel that they are of interest and appreciated; in other words, they feel they are "visible."
