- Minimizing the damages caused by toxic people in the workplace. They spread negativity and suffocate the positive;
- Encouraging the professional development of your employees. They will learn and grow every day;
- Understanding the “big picture” and sharing it with your employees;
- Showing people you value them by showing them you value their time;
- Showing that a clear flow of communication benefits everyone;
- The more collaboration, the more investment and the more motivation!
- Rewarding your employees by saying ‘Thank you!’;
- Starting with developing your own leadership, then hire and grow the best leaders at every level.
