Managing from the Heart

I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. – Maya Angelou
 
From rewards programs and employee development efforts to more efficient work processes and cloud-based tools that enable collaboration, leaders and managers have more tools then ever at their disposal to motivate and engage productive teams.
 
While these all make a difference, the data is clear: happy, engaged employees who stick around and go above and beyond want one thing more than any other – they want to be cared for and valued as human beings.
 
As spring begins, consider committing to showing even more of your heart at work. We believe the seeds you’ll plant now won’t take long to reap abundant fruit in terms of relationships, happiness, and results.
