I once spoke with a senior manager who had just learned that a key team member was leaving.

Past continuous

Shocked, he said, I had no idea they were even thinking about leaving.

Past simple

My response, that's probably why they did.

That's because our employees need to hear regularly that what they do and who they are matters.

People just showing up to earn a paycheck experience no serious joy, and they certainly are not loyal to you or the organization.

Communicating with empathy is a choice that you make every single day.

It affects everything from the way you approach conversations to how you listen to successful team collaboration.

We can achieve our goals while truly enjoying the road to getting there.

By taking responsibility to help develop those who work with you, you're going to be contributing to the future workforce, not just at your organization, but wherever your team members or you will be in the future.

When we get busy or stressed, it's easy to forget to acknowledge the efforts of our people.

That's why it's important to build simple recognition rituals into our regular workflow to make sure it stays on everybody's radar.

The examples are endless, but the solutions are clear.

Make the change within yourself as a leader first.

Focusing on continuous improvement, which is about always getting better, is essential.

You don't have to spend every waking moment helping your team find purpose and meaning in the work that they do.

Sometimes it's enough to recognize the tough stuff and ask someone if they want to talk.

Be sure they know how much you appreciate both their efforts and the great outcomes they create.

Everyone plays a small part in the organization.

You have to help them see the big picture.

Only then can they feel a genuine sense of purpose.
