As a Founder of a multi-Brand Franchising Company often, I am asked some tough questions by start-up entrepreneurs. Recently, I was asked how did you recruit your franchisees. Well, I am retired really and not selling franchises anymore. But we had several methods. Some came from web searching interest of potential franchisee team members. Some of our best franchisee candidates came from industry and some from those who were laid off from Corporations.We had lots of franchisee candidates, which were customers of car wash
Leadership comes from the top down. Poor management skills is the cause of most employee dissatisfaction and results in their poor performance.

Poor management skills lead to poor employee performance
It's disheartening to read that poor management skills is the cause of most business dissatisfaction. You'd think that with all the training and investment that has gone into this topic that we'd learnt by now to get it right.
Employees have lost trust in the companies they work for Kelly Services Survey published in October last year indicated that 47% of Australian employees believe "that companies do not have their best interests at heart".
Dissatisfaction seems to be the order of the day. 50% of Australia's workforce want to quit it's job and nearly 40% reported that they often "woke up in the morning not willing to face the day".
SEEK, the online job board survey of October 2003 reported that 75% of employees questioned are not happy with their current job.
Asked what they liked most about their job 51% said "the people I work with". And what did they hate most? 60% said "the quality of management". Not surprising, dissatisfaction with management increased as people got older.

If you are not happy, you need to get that fixed. If you are not rich, you are not happy. Seems like a bold statement to make, doesn’t it? How many millions of people are doing a job that they just hate? My guess is that that number is probably too high to count and too scary to even consider. How often do you dread Monday because you believe not only is this an awful day in itself, but also that you will have four more beyond Monday that you will also have to face. I know how you feel; I was like that for a very long time. I d

Ask for direct feedback from your people.

Is there a high turnover of staff or is your team stable? Consider the absenteeism rate. Are your people often away from work? These are a few questions to ask yourself.

You can also choose to do nothing, which is not a good option. Don't wait until a crisis occurs.
A business owner I know said everything was fine. He said his staff were happy although he never did anything to pro-actively ensure they were. His perception was that he believed all was well because no-one complained. He only acted if a problem was brought to his attention. One week, three of his key people resigned.

So stay on top of things, be proactive, ask questions an
