Act with Integrity - When you act with integrity you build trust. Trust is the backbone of any relationship so you want to build it with each and every team member. *

Listen to them - Employees want to be heard. Keep them engaged through open communication and active listening. When your team feels their input is valued they are more committed to being engaging and demonstrating their best work. *

Keep them informed - Keeping your team abreast of what’s happening in the workplace is essential. Over time our social awareness increases and we know when something is up. Reduce gossip and enhance overall productivity by communicating regularly with your staff. *

Show the team you care - Show your employees you care about them by checking in with them daily if possible. It doesn’t have to be a long conversation but it must be authentic. Saying hello and seeking eye contact is crucial for engagement. If you walk by and ask them how they’re doing without taking the time to stop and listen to their response you will appear to be unauthentic. *

Be empathetic – Empathetic leaders have the capacity to recognize and understand others’ feelings and opinions by figuratively walking in their shoes or seeing things through their eyes. When we become more empathetic we have stronger, more meaningful relationships. *

Lead with Compassion - Leading with compassion is about being aware of how we relate and interact with others and how we authentically reflect upon our conduct to make changes as needed. *

Practice humility – Employees want to support leaders who are humble and vulnerable. When leaders have the ability to apologize and admit they don’t have all the answers it makes it easier for employees to follow, support, and engage with them. *
