Use interview questions to identify what a person can do and whether that person works well with others. Give appropriate feedback. Feedback is the manager's tool to employee development. As a manager develops employees, the manager also develops. Collect associates' suggestions and, when appropriate, implement them.
Involvement is a key to building a team and motivating employees.
Ask the people who do the work for their suggestions to enhance, alter or develop alternatives for the work. If you can implement employee suggestions, you are demonstrating a participatory team approach.
