Gathering input from team members makes people feel valued.

One of a leader’s greatest responsibilities is to ensure teams are engaged and productive. People are motivated to increase productivity when leaders take time to get to know them personally, make them feel comfortable, and help remove barriers in the workplace. When we connect with employees in ways that are meaningful to them, they become more engaged, productivity and profits increase, meanwhile, turnover, absenteeism, and shrinkage decrease.

  • Is it important to have a good relationship with coworkers and subordinates?
  • How do I prioritize which processes in the organization need improving?
