Get Out Of Your Ivory Tower
{{chris}} Get Out Of Your Ivory Tower is my advice today!
If you’re manager or leader in your company one of the most effective things you can do is get out of your office and meet with the people you manage. Why? You need to show them that you personally care about what there doing. Why visit them, why not have them come to you? It’s a simple gesture that says you care enough to come and see them. That what they are doing is important and that there time is valuable. It’s a very subtle but extremely effective sign of respect!
By getting out and working with your teams you’ll develop a strong line of communication with them. You’ll know how they are doing and what’s going one without having to wait for them to give you a formal report. In short you’ll be doing your job better and the organization as a whole will do better.
Don’t delay, if you’ve been hold up in your office get out and meet the staff. It’s never too late to start!

NEVER ever make a mistake to chin-wagging with your subordinates. My sincere advice to all. Effective communication is important though…

Great post. Engage with your members you are training. Get to know them as people, it will make the training experience a better environment. Its also important for the trainer to connect and identify with their members.
