You Should Care About Other People
The full title of the attached link is “I don’t know how to explain to you that you should care about other people.” While it is political in content, the underlying idea is important – as an employer or manager, you too need to care about people, specifically your team. Caring about your people and building and maintaining strong personal relationships with them (and I don’t mean dating relationships or even deep friendships, just that they need to know you care – and you should be vulnerable with them so they can care about you too) fosters a more productive work environment.
Employees who feel they belong and who feel valued by their manager and their company will give more back. They will work harder, they will stay with you longer, and they will be more loyal.
How do you show your people that you care about them?
