You’ve probably heard the adage – employees aren’t loyal to a company, they’re loyal to the people. This is likely true in your company and the employee’s manager plays a large role in creating this loyalty.

When employees are emotionally committed to the organization, they are more motivated and productive. That emotion doesn’t come from reading the company website or memos, it comes from observing people in the organization and gaining respect for them. An employee’s manager can foster this relationship by providing guidance and leadership and by acting in a way that demonstrates the company’s values.

Managing people isn’t easy as it takes a lot of time and commitment to do it well, but if the time is put in, the manager, employee and company should all reap the rewards.
