How supportive of your teams are you?

When I ask a manager or a supervisor that question,

I often get the same answers
 

• They know what’s expected of them
• I’m approachable
• My door is always open
• I’m not a bad boss
• I bring them doughnuts at the end of the week

And so on…

Doughnuts are nice … but they are not enough.

What do you actually do to support your teams?

If you don’t nurture them

• They can’t reach their full potential
• They will be unhappy
• They won’t be engaged or motivated
• They may leave
• Your customer experience will suffer
• Your customer satisfaction will decrease
• You’ll lose business and revenue

Here are a couple of thoughts for you…
