It is no way to build a lasting work relationship. To do this, you must become a master of communication. Talk to your people about all aspects of your business, and their place in it. Your workers, employees, are the most important ingredient in your own success - if you cannot communicate with them on a personal level, this will tell on the growth of your business. You've got to be proud of your people when they win, and share their disappointment when they fail.
Leaders know their people, their families, their goals, their abilities and their dreams.
You have a personal interest in their success, so you must get to know them personally. Sometimes, one of your people may be having difficulty in some area, and you must be able to recognize the source of the problem. Your job of training and helping to build up their strength will be easier if you have a personal relationship with them, than if you hardly know them at all. Copyright 1998 Frederick Pearce.
