Aura Mae over at “Advice for Small Salons” pulished a great article last week on “How to keep your employees from wanting to kill you”. Which is a topic close to many salon owners’ heart! Check it out, by clicking here
Some of her tips include (brief excerpts, read the full story on her blog) -
1. Let people finish what they have to say. Most interruptions are derailments, and as such, most interrupters are avoided.
2. Listen with the ear of your heart, not the pointed finger of your ego.Judgmental attitudes stop commutation before it starts.
3. Recognize employee contributions and ideas. According to Dilbert, most bosses will listen thoroughly to your input, thank you for your suggestions, and then do exactly what they planned all along.
4. Remain calm when confronted with different points of view. The word “emotion” comes from the Latin emotere, which means, “to disturb.”
This is just a quick tip, as we’re very busy building new websites for our customers - and looking at redesigning the Beauty Salon Marketing website too! As it has grown over the last year-and-a-half it has kinda outgrown its format and we need to add new sections with all the useful stuff we want to share with you.
If you have any suggestions for things you’d like to see included on this site (tips, articles, how-to’s and so on) please drop an email to martin@beauty-salon-marketing.co.uk Your feedback is always appreciated!
