Managing the Game: Open Door Policy

Have an open door policy and stand by it. Let your employees come to you about their problems. Listen to them and their concerns. Then do what you can to help them out. We are all busy with what we do but if you don’t take those moments to listen then a small problem can grow into a bigger problem. Showing your team that you care and are willing to go to bat for them is one of the best things that you as a manager can do. I personally work harder and go the extra mile for my superiors who do it for me. Not just out of a personal work ethic but because I know I have value and respect from my boss.
