I appreciate your future looking reflections! What is it that we'll be remembered for? I strongly emphasize empathy in leadership, and taking care of your people as a number one tenant. Even if that means helping them move to another company, if it's what's best for them then that's my role as a manager.
I completely agree that 1:1s are essential for building strong connections and relationships within the team. They provide a valuable opportunity to understand each individual’s needs and preferences, which is crucial for personalizing leadership. By fostering these connections, we can create a more supportive and effective work environment where everyone can thrive.
This all resonates but especially the importance of having a lasting impact. Being a positive influence in the career of a direct report really matters, and is a big motivator for me. Thinking beyond the current role and organization to really treat the employee like an autonomous human rather than a worker drone. Well done.
