Did you know that, according to Gallup, 70% of an employee’s motivation is influenced by their manager? People management isn’t easy and takes a certain finesse to be successful. You have to be consistent in policy and procedure from the top down. Strong leadership can make all the difference.

Leaders look out for their teams, from making sure each team member has the right tools and technology to get the job done to making sure there’s a mutually understood common goal, a north star. A good leader wants to see employees succeed and gives constructive feedback to help with business development, personal and professional growth.
