Loyal employees are precious gems, not stepping stones !

Loyal people are those who have these characteristics.

1) They care about success - of the team, of the boss, and their own

2) They tell you what you needed to hear, not necessarily what you want to hear

3) They do not disagree with you in public, and support your decisions publicly

4) They worked hard and are dependable

To earn their loyalty we must

1) Take their problems as our own

2) Be there for them when they need us

3) Defend them even when it is not easy for us

4) Create an atmosphere of appreciation and mutual trust

5) Never patronize them, never criticize them in public

6) Create opportunities for them, not rules

An employee's fiancee got really sick. His boss not only gave him time off, but also personally called a medical doctor, a world renowned specialist in liver diseases and used his personal influence and connections to get the employee's loved one to be seen and cared for by this expert.

That boss changed companies a few times, the employee always followed him.

They say - people leave bosses, not companies.

But also,

People follow good bosses, too - to the end of the earth.
