Wise leaders know the essential ingredients for building strong teams.

As humans, we know that our behaviors are significantly influenced by where we work — for better and for worse. And as leaders, we truly understand that we reap what we sow.

If we sow seeds of competition, gossip, slander, and blame then why are we surprised when morale is low, productivity is lacking, and turnover is high?

On the other hand, if we sow seeds of transparency, understanding, encouragement, and honesty, then those we lead will thrive, enjoy coming to work, and will benefit from a strongly formed team.

Lastly, wise leaders know that the role of relationship/team manager is never over. Once a strong and healthy team is created, it takes constant upkeep and care for it to remain strong and thriving.

Trust me, it is energy and time well spent.
