There are a number of benefits to connecting with your team, and a big one is increasing their engagement. Forming relationships and developing connections with the people they work with, especially their leader, makes them more motivated at work. Ultimately, forming leader-employee connections is about breaking down barriers and hierarchy. Showing your employees that you’re on their team helps you to build mutual trust and respect with them. That two-way trust and respect makes it easier for you to facilitate open and honest communication and conflict resolution on your team. These factors make your employees feel valued, and that will make for a healthier and more engaged and empowered team.
