It’s only personal when we make it so.
As managers, we must allow our staff to breathe, to take time off for their family, to appreciate all their efforts with a hard earned vacation or granted off on a special day.
Business, for most non-management staff, is not their life; it’s their job/career.
We can make it business...but not at the expense of being “personal”.
Question from Steve:
“Do you treat your employees as a person and with respect or do you ride them hard each day since you are paying them to do a job and expect 8 hours of work for 8 hours of pay”?
