People not robots
Treat your team members as people not robots and see if it makes a difference in their attitude to work.
People you know the ones who:
- Can have bad days here and thereĀ
- Have kids and may need time off here and there to look after them
- Get sick every now and then
- At times can get late because things dint go to plan in the morning or have to leave early at times to take care of some things in life
- Need to go on holidays away from work to get rejuvenated (without emails and calls)
- Might need to travel overseas or interstate for events they have no control over
Who knows you might then not need to manage them but just look after them.
