RELATIONSHIPS

 Great bosses know that positive relationships based on shared values create mutual trust and respect in the workplace. They create and maintain positive relationships with team members and expect the same among team members.

Great bosses know that without mutual trust & respect, workplace cooperation disappears. They realize that they must effectively manage employees’ heads, hands, AND hearts. Most leaders are satisfied with managing employees’ hands (getting stuff done) and sometimes their heads (explaining strategy & goals).

Many employees spend more time at work than they do with their family or friends. Great bosses act to maintain a safe, inspiring workplace so employees feel honored at work.

Great bosses also understand that trust & respect is a fragile state; it must be tended & monitored daily with every player to remain healthy and vibrant.
