Today’s best managers get involved with their employees to help improve their working relationships and their performance. Get involved with your employees when their work is not up to par, when there are personnel problems, and when there is a serious conflict. Help employees generate ideas, by showing them that it is OK to speak up and voice their views. Give employees the courage to risk failure and try new, innovative ideas. Realize that the success of the company rests on future leaders, so help develop the leaders of tomorrow for your organization.
