Talk to your people

This is an important aspect in the life of a top manager.

Keep your people informed of what your plans are well in advance so that they can get used to the direction that you are taking.

It is part of the actions that you do to measure the "climate" of the company.

Sometimes you tend to get so focussed on your companies money problems like cashflow - reaching of your budgtes - solving peoples problems and so on that you start losing perspective.

The question is how do you prevent it and how do you get rid of it when it happens to you.

The answers is to admit it when you have put to much pressure on your managers and ( 2)then start talking to you managers.

Sometime it is good to organise a get together and in that way people relax and during such a event talk about the sucesses the team has reached together.

People who experience success together can take hardship also better.

If you are a person who is charismatic then it is even better for you to make them feel good because you have the personality.

Personally I think schedule it in your programme without publishing it or make it a event. Yes there should be time to do it formally but the impromptu one is also important

It is not the easiest thing to do but do it!
